For the first time, the government's labour survey will include the country's vast informal sector, but not everyone is convinced it'll signal creation of new jobs.
Govt to give accreditation to 1,000 programmes at Indian institutions. Under 'Washington Accord', this will improve graduates’ chances of foreign placement.
Biz people and industrialists, who have been the most critical about the Modi govt privately, will settle for predictability instead of any tax bonanzas.
Bihar Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar spoke in favour of 50 per cent job reservation in the private sector on the basis of caste, experts weigh in on the feasibility of this suggestion.

The author’s claim of studying social lives of unemployed youth appears to be time pass and not a serious vocation. He forgot to link unemployment to the inability to have the minimum daily expenses of drinking even a cup of tea. He also forgot about the suicide bombers who work against the promise of their family being taken care of.
This article is such a time pass that makes “The Print” a time pass news magazine and makes Shekhar Kapoor look like a shallow editor.
Unemployment, or a lack of an ecosystem which essentially puts all citizens specially the youth to work to kill their time, to work to learn newer things, to work to have a comfortable income, is sure to create angst and frustration. They would latch on to an idea that may be detrimental to the progress and unity of the society. For a youth without a job, it is easy to feel exploited. It is easy to experience injustice. Every society has a percentage of exploitation and injustice and they are felt maximum by the youth without any work to do. They amplify it to feel part of it and revolt against it in different ways.
Northeast of India has seen serious insurgencies because of unemployment due to lack of development initiatives. Even today there is no industrial/agricultural/economic policy direction in the region. There is no vision by the legitimate leadership and so the youth are taking up to those who is offering them a vision.
Anyways, I request The Print to be more selective about putting up opinions that have some weight.
Unemployment was an important reason for insurgency in Assam and still is in the North Eastern States of India. Mr Jeffrey should not make light of the unemployment issue by linking it to ‘timepass’ . Timepass also breeds idleness and an idle mind is a devil’s workshop.
Unemployed youth ending up as terrorists is a stretch, but the potential for petty crime, lawbreaking, occasional violence cannot be discounted. When I saw the Maratha agitations which began two years ago, completely peaceful and orderly, the thought struck me, How long will it remain thus. Similar agitations in Gujarat and Haryana saw sporadic violence, now in Maharashtra as well.
Fear mongering is the key skill learnt by politicians, and wannabe politician Rahul Gandhi is turning out to be no exception. Good for him that he is learning the tricks of the trade. He knows that such rhetoric is the best bet when there is no vision.
