PM Modi has announced a scheme wherein 10 lakh people will be offered jobs in the next one and a half years! While I appreciate the eagerness of the government to help the unemployed, a closer look into the affairs will reveal that it is only a gimmick.
It is reported that all the departments are.gearing up to speed up recruitment and fill the existing vacancies in the coming one and a.half years. These vacancies have reportedly accumulated over the past several years, if reports are to be believed ! In that case what is so great in the announcement, one wonders. After denying the unemployed their chance to secure a job by keeping the existing vacancies unfilled , suddenly the government decides to fill all the vacancies, running into lakhs, and announces that the government is providing succour to the unemployed. Actual job creation is only about 50000, including the "Agni veers" announced to be recruited by the defence forces (which in itself appears to be a short sighted decision to Rob the exchequer )
I hope the voters will see through the gimmick while casting their votes at the end of the one and half year period.
