AGARTALA / NEW DELHI, July 2 (TIWN): A massive crisis in the Govt job distribution was felt in last one year as Tripura resulting huge numbers of degree holders, graduates, masters and over-aged persons left jobless in Tripura, however the crisis is less felt among Doctors. Before the Election BJP led by Central-BJP Govt assured to give 50000 Govt jobs to unemployed youths within around a year but ended with 1377 jobs, however, more need of cooperation from by the Central Govt is needed. Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy’s (CMIE) monthly report for June-2019 was published on Monday morning, once again, ranking Tripura as the topper state in unemployment rate. The unemployment rate which is mounting across the country however has decreased 4% in Tripura in compare to the last months. On May-2019 the unemployment rate was 30.2% whereas this month it’s 26.2%. Still, Tripura tops in unemployment rate in compare to other 29 states of India.

The massive increasing unemployment rate is due to a drop in Govt job recruitments leaving thousands of TPSC job aspirants unemployed. 

It can be noted here that recruitment corruption in Govt Depts and cases against the previous Communist govt frustrated the youths back in 2017-18 led them to vote for the BJP out of anti-incumbency but it will be tough for the present Govt to negotiate Govt job opportunities in replace of job-creators.

Business of hotels and others infrastructure do not profit businessmen at the initial stage due to poverty of the state and slow economy.

Tripura till day was not ready for corporate theories and also job-creations are new to them, specially those who were preparing for TPSC exams for years. Tripura tops in unemployment rate. 

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.
