Madhya Pradesh: Long queues to find jobs in Gwalior.
Bhopal:
Fifteen job openings for workers, drivers and masons in Madhya Pradesh’s Gwalior saw nearly 11,000 unemployed youth flock to the city on Saturday and Sunday, not only from within the state but also from within the state. vicinity of Uttar Pradesh.
Although the job needs candidates who have passed the exam to enter 10th grade, applicants include graduate students, post-graduates, engineers, MBAs, and even civil judge aspirations.
One of the candidates, Ajay Baghel, said, “I’m a science graduate. I’ve applied. PhD holders are lining up here.”
Jitendra Maurya, a law graduate student, said, “I applied for the position of driver. I am also preparing for the examiner’s exam. I come from Madhav College. The situation is such that sometimes not have money to buy books. So I thought I’d get some work.”
Thousands of government jobs are vacant in Madhya Pradesh.
Some people like Altaf even come from other states. “I graduated and I came from Uttar Pradesh to work as a doctor,” he told NDTV.
Large crowds have questioned Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan’s high claims about government recruitment in recent months.
“We’re going to hire a thousand dollars a year. We’re not leaving bricks to fill the backlog,” he said a few days ago, adding, “Everybody wants a job. in government services but I want to tell you the truth that each and every student cannot get a job for the government.”
But the numbers tell a different story. The total number of unemployed at Madhya Pradesh’s employment registration offices is 32,57,136. This is despite the fact that the School Education Department has 30,600 vacancies, the Home Affairs Department has 9,388, the Health Department has 8,592, and the Revenue Department has 9,530 vacancies. About ten thousand positions are vacant in various agencies of the state government.
320,000 people registered as unemployed in Madhya Pradesh.
Job seekers say this is why thousands of people are looking for work even with low government pay like in Gwalior.
A recent government hawker scheme had 150,000 applications; out of 99,000 selected, nearly 90% are graduate students.
Parliament has turned up the heat on the state’s jobs crisis with party spokesman Narendra Saluja saying: “This shows what the development of 17 years of Shivraj administration really looks like. Who spoke about it? filling 10,000 positions in a month? Where are those leaders?? When will they be on the street?”
According to the Center for Economic Monitoring of India (CMIE), the unemployment rate in Madhya Pradesh in November was just 1.7% – much lower than in other states.
Yet another figure – from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) – shows no less than 95 people died by suicide from unemployment last year, in Madhya Pradesh alone.
