AGARTALA, Dec 28 (TIWN): Finally Tripura's Artists unemployed youths have come on road demanding jobs. A mass agitation was shown by the unemployed degree holders saying that even though the CPI-M Govt talks long about Art and culture, but it has done nothing for state's artists. "Since last 42 years of Art College's journey only 32 people have been appointed in Govt jobs. Apart from Govt jobs, chances of privates are not available due to crippled condition of industrialization. Since 1975 the college was set up in here but just for show. Till day we have been protesting in democratic manner, but our voices remained unheard", said the Artists to media.

The agitation was shown by All Tripura Artists Degree Association. The agitators also voiced against the ongoing corruptions, loot of central funds, which according to the artists are not good for a healthy society. The agitation was shown by covering a black cloth around their mouth.

Tripura even though tops in unemployment rate, following the 25 yrs of Communist regime but the govt has no intention to minimize the unemployment crisis. Till day, why Tripura tops in employment, the Chief Minister could not answer. 

Tripura’s GDP growth rate is only 7 %, which is the lowest in the whole country even worse than Jharkhand and any North Eastern States.

Whereas on the Independence Day Tripura CM gave a one & half hours long speech to teach how to develop the economy of the country and how to increase the country made source of income but his own state suffers from lowest GDP growth.

Not only this Tripura has also shined in unemployment rate in the whole country. With a major shame for Tripura Govt, the state which covers the highest literacy rate; youths here are living as unemployed.Tripura has 6-197 unemployed youths per 1000

Sikkim is second with 181, whereas Kerala is 125. Himachal Pradesh is 4th with 106, Goa 96, Arunachal Pradesh 89 as 5th.Gujrat has shined highest job-holders only with 10 unemployed per 1000. Wikipedia says, 'Tripura has the highest unemployment rate and ranks worst'.
