that follows :
The Bhagwati Committee Report on "Unemployment"
has noted that "unemployment and under – employment are
the biggest challenges of the day and we are sitting on a
volcano." This observation is, indeed, disturbing. It sounds
a grin prophecy that may prove explosive for India's social,
moral and economic health.
India has still retained its agricultural complexion. The
greater part of Indian population belongs to villages. In
urban India, the menace of educated unemployment is very
acute. Insufficient rate of development is 1 of the chief
reasons. Hence job opportunities have not kept pace with the
numbers of persons (both is villages and cities) seeking jobs.

Population explosion is a different reason that has aggravated
the issue of unemployment. Schools and colleges are
crowded with masses. Every year, Indian Universities produce
thousands of graduates in various faculties. The spread of
education is various faculties. The spread of education is
necessary for a strong nation. But it should be rationalized.
Higher education has become very cheap. On the other hand,
young degree holders have provided up traditional professions.
This is also a contributory factor. Modernisation and
computerisation in certain industries have rendered many
peoples jobless. These and many other reasons are responsible
for unemployment in the country.
Unemployment is not, merely, an economic phenomenon.
It cannot be assessed or evaluated in isolation. It outcomes in
the issue of legal regulations and order. Educated youths take up
unlawful activities. It also leads to mass discontent and
frustration.
In order to tame this problem, our planning and policies
should be framed in the situation of our social, economic and
psychological needs of rural and urban population. For
instance, the family planning programme should be
implemented more effectively in rural areas. Formal education
also should be changed by jobs-oriented education. Over and
above every thing else, we should have honesty and sincerity
in the implementation of these remedies.
