AGARTALA / NEW DELHI, June 3 (TIWN): Almost two financial years are going dry without recruitment in Govt depts, Tripura’s unemployment problems have increased by 6%. In last 1.5 years not even 1,500 jobs in Govt depts were given but BJP before coming in power promised to give 50000 govt jobs to youths in first one year. However, Chief Minister Biplab Deb has assured all types of Govt help will be done to set businesses as it’s practically not possible to give Govt jobs to everyone. The post-election revealed data is horrifying and shocking where GDP not only at down but unemployment problem is biggest in country’s 45 years history. In case of Tripura the problem is more horrifying which is right now tops at national level. Along with national toll of unemployment rate, tension is heaviest in state Tripura as consistently Tripura has scored as topper in the unemployment rate.The most concerned matter is that Tripura’s unemployment rate which was 24.6% in April month according CMIE report, in May month it has shot up to 30.2%. Under the previous Leftist Govt also unemployment rate was highest but it was limited at 11%.

According to May, 2019’s data of CMIE Chandigarh, Haryana’s names come in the unemployment list after Tripura at 18%.

Tension also erupted as amid massive unemployment ongoing in Tripura, Govt of India has released data that the unemployment rate is increasing at the national level without a pause and 6.1% which is indeed highest in last 45 years.

The GDP rate has fallen below China. According to Central Statistics Office (CSO) it has been revealed that GDP growth during 2018-19 fiscal stood at 6.8 per cent, lower than 7.2 per cent in the previous financial year.

India’s economic growth rate slipped to a five-year low of 5.8 per cent in January-March 2018-19, owing to poor performance in the agriculture and manufacturing sectors, official data released Friday said. As per the Central Statistics Office (CSO), the growth in gross domestic product during the 2018-19 fiscal stood at 6.8 per cent, lower than 7.2 per cent in the previous financial year. The GDP growth was slowest since 2014-15 as the previous low was 6.4 per cent in 2013-14. China, on the other hand, registered 6.4 per cent growth in the January-March 2019 quarter, thereby dislodging India as the world’s fastest major economy.

While Chief Statistician Pravin Srivastava emphasised that the latest labour survey cannot be compared with previous ones and said that he doesn’t want to “claim that is 45-year low or high” as it is a different matrix, Economic Affairs Secretary S C Garg said the slowdown in the fourth quarter of the last fiscal was due to temporary factors like stress in the NBFC segment. The government also revealed that joblessness in the country stood at 6.1 per cent of total labour force during 2017-18, the highest in 45 years. Notably, the latest data from the Labour Ministry confirmed the unemployment rate projected in a pre-election leaked report.
