Creating Employment Opportunities for Youth

India is a vast country with a population of about 1.21 billion and a labour force of around 475 million. There is an open unemployment of 9.5 million as per estimates available for the year 2009-10. Employment is the main source of livelihood and self-fulfillment for most women and men. About 6% of the total work force in India is employed in organised sector while remaining 94% are in the unorganised sector. Scope of additional employment generation in the organized sector for additional wage employment is less.
India has a younger population not only in comparison to advanced economies but also in relation to large developing countries. As a result, the labour force in India is expected to increase by 32 per cent over the next 20 years, while it will decline by 4.0 per cent in industrialised countries and by nearly 5.0 per cent in China. We are, therefore, endeavoring to reap this ‘demographic dividend’ by providing for higher levels of health, education and skill development. This will create an environment where in the economy not only grows rapidly, but also enhances good quality employment and livelihood opportunities to meet the needs and aspirations of the youth.
The Government has been making constant efforts for reducing unemployment through normal growth process and implementing various employment generation programmes, such as, Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY); Prime Minister’s Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP) and National Rural Livelihood Mission besides entrepreneurial development programmes run by the Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises.
The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2005 (MGNREGA) also assures every rural household at least 100 days of manual work at minimum wages.
Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM): The Mission’s aim is to encourage reforms and fast track planned development of identified cities. Focus is on efficiency in urban infrastructure and service delivery mechanisms, community participation etc.
Bharat Nirman
In Bharat Nirman, critical areas of rural infrastructure – Irrigation, Roads, Water Supply, Housing, Electricity and Telecom connectivity have been covered. This has improved living standards of the rural population and also created infrastructure which will ultimately enhance the economic activities in the rural areas and generate significant employment opportunities for the rural people.
Infrastructural Development
The investment on infrastructure is proposed to be increased to Rs.45 lakh crore during XII Plan period. About half of this is expected to come from private sector.
Skill Development
Skills and knowledge are the driving forces of economic growth and social development of any country. Countries with higher and better levels of skills adjust more effectively to the challenges and opportunities of the world.
Government is serious in creating training infrastructure and providing quality employment to youth. According to a study carried out by Quality Council of India, placement rate has increased to about 80% to 99% because of improved infrastructure in the modernized ITIs. Skill Development Initiative (SDI) Scheme based on Modular Employable Skills (MES) was started during the Eleventh Five Year Plan for early school leavers and existing workers, especially in the unorganised sector to improve their employability. About 16 lakh persons have been trained under the scheme so far.
Sincere efforts are being made for skill development of a large number of people under various skill development programmes. The Prime Minister has set a target of skilling 500 million persons by 2022 and the Ministry of Labour & Employment is required to train 100 million. Government is systematically working to achieve the target and the training capacity has been increased from 9 lakh in 2006 – 07 to 26 lakh in 2011-12. All the Government ITIs are being modernized. New courses have been introduced and most of the ITIs are running in two to three shifts. During last five years, the number of Government and private ITIs has increased from 5114 in 2006-07 to 10,344 which is more than double. Government has also planned to set up 1500 more ITIs in PPP and 5000 Skill Development Centres in PPP to enhance the capacity further. 27 Advanced Training Institutes are also planned in PPP to produce adequate number of trainers in the country.
Focus Area in the 12th Five Year Plan
In the 12th Five Year Plan the thrust of the Government is in bringing about an inclusive growth strategy that will provide job opportunities as well as make the young of the country employable.
The main focus areas are:
a) Thrust on Manufacturing Sector-to make it the engine of employment growth-that would create 100 million additional jobs by 2025.
b) To bring in supportive policies to incentivise labour intensive manufacturing sectors such as textile & garments, leather & footwear, food processing, gems & Jewellery to generate more employment opportunities.
c) Expanding employment in services like IT, finance & banking, tourism, trade & transport.
d) Prioritizing skill training for the informal sector; creation of appropriate skill sets among rural migrants and urban poor to make growth inclusive.
e)Ensuring the employability of skilled persons by involving Sector Skill Councils in preparation of Skill Modules matching market demand.
f) Building on the potential of Modular Employable Skill programme by ensuring combination of modules to ensure employability.
g) Extending Social Security benefits to Unorganized sector Workers.
h) Enable skill loans for poor students (Credit Guarantee Fund)
i) Streamlining the skill development programs for disadvantaged sections to ensure much larger funding for skill development.
j) Setting up of National Skill Registry to link data bases across Ministries / States to provide a platform linking people who seek/provide employment.
Expenditure on social services which include education, sports, art and culture, medical and public health, family welfare, water supply and sanitation, housing, urban development; welfare of Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs) and other Backward Classes (OBCs), labour and labour welfare, social security and welfare, nutrition, relief for natural calamities, etc. by the Government (Centre and State combined) has also shown increase in recent years reflecting higher priority to social services.
National-e-Governance
National-e-Governance Plan has identified Upgradation and modernization Employment Exchanges as one of the Mission Mode Projects (MMP). The MMP aims to progressively support all Employment Exchanges in the country to make effective use of IT in various activities of employment services. A national web portal will be developed to make all employment related services available on a single window and will work like a virtual job market. This will help Employment Exchanges to provide efficient and quality services at wider scale and speed.

The focus on dam for betterment of all

Yes, Singda can be developed as a tourist spot. Singda continues to drag lots of local tourists every day. Students go to Singda as a part of study tour. A child can learn a lot by seeing the dam at the site. After seeing the dam one knows the Government is doing something for the people of the state. The spot is a treat to the eyes. Too many heroes and heroines of Manipuri films had their song sequence filmed atop the dam. If the spot is not beautiful would the director think of shooting films at the scenic spot? The happy news is that the state Government is continuing to provide serious attention on the improvement of the dam. Even the foundation stone for construction of a tourist gate near the dam was laid yesterday by the Chief Minister O. Ibobi. The dam continues to receive serious attention of the state Government, which is indicated by the fact that the Chief Minister visited the site repeatedly in the past two weeks. But these encroachers near the dam are playing spoilt sport. They have encroached upon the dam site. Even the standing trees had been felled down. There can be no human habitation near the dam. Human refuses cannot be dumped into the dam. In Maharashtra the Deputy Chief Minister Pawar representing NCP in the coalition Government led by Congress (I) almost lost his job for saying he would urinate into the dam. His statement was sacrilegious to the sanctity of the dam for the product of the dam is used for consumption. If these encroachers are not evicted albeit after paying compensation the desecration will become unmanageable. One alarming news is that the water storage capacity of the dam is reducing as the prolonged siltation had raised the bed of the dam. What causes siltation is known to all. As trees had been felled down the soil on the hill has been loosened and it slips like the mud. Naturally the mud that slips accumulates at the low lying areas. Chief Minister had warned the encroachers if necessary they will be evicted. Chief Minister upholds the philosophy “action is more important than words”. The eviction that had been done at Chingmeirong and Kabow Leikai shows that. Having ruled the state for more than 11 years Shri Ibobi thinks if not for serving the state and its people why should a Government exists. When the Government made announcement for expansion of Nagamapal road the dwellers at the road side knows what it means to them. They have done demarcation work by themselves without waiting for Government order. They know it is a matter of time eviction will be done. The Government action is shaped by people’s perception of ushering in development.

Blockade affects Tripura Mizoram linkage

AIZAWL, May 21 NNN : Bridge over Langkaih river is the only link between Tripura and Mizoram but the blockade imposed on this link is continuing since April 29 over the death of a man hailed from Bru community.

AIZAWL, May 21 NNN : Bridge over Langkaih river is the only link between Tripura and Mizoram but the blockade imposed on this link is continuing since April 29 over the death of a man hailed from Bru community. Following the prolonging of the blockade, the tension is heightening in the Tripura-Mizoram border area.
The BDO level talk between the two states failed to bring any desirable result.The Bru community blames the Mizos for the death while the latter denied it.
Following this development, Young Mizo Association (YMA), in the western belt of Mizoram, had resorted to blockading of Langkaih Bridge at Kanhmun for an indefinite period of time starting from April 29.
It may be recalled that Sebaram Reang was one of the 8 members of an armed group arrested by Tripura and Mizoram Police in a joint operation.
He had reportedly committed suicide while searching for arms and ammunitions hidden by the armed group.
The police continue to hunt for seven other members of the group. It can be noted here that tension between the Brus and the Mizos crops up from time to time.
Mizoram had witnessed the climax of this tension in the year 2009 when houses of Mizos and Brus were burnt by each other.
In a Mizoram district of Mamit bordering Tripura, Mizo youths set the Bru (Reang) settlements and reduced 313 houses to ashes in November, 2009.
The violence in 2009 was triggered by the killing of an 18 year old Mizo youth identified as one Zarzokima by Bru militants.
Meanwhile, the process of identification of Mizoram Brus in Tripura camps for repatriation in the last part of this month is also stalled because of the tense situation. Joint Churches Committee of Mizoram proceeded towards Champhai yesterday to diffuse the tense situation between Vaphai and Saikhumphai.
According to official sources, the Joint Churches Committee was being headed by the Chairman, Rev. Lalramliana Pachuau who also is the Synod Moderator. Other office bearers and members are Lalnilawma Kawlni, B. Thangtinliana and Lt. Col. Lalramhluna. They are accompanied by the Joint Director of Local Administration Deptt. C. Lalthlamuana.

Assam Rifles embarks on a ‘go green fortnight’

Mail News Service
Imphal, May 21 : In the words of leading environmental activist and Former US Vice President Al Gore, “Environment conservation is really not much of a political issue but it is actually a moral issue!”
The State of Manipur needs no introduction as regards its large forest cover, which according to the State of Forest Report 2003 conducted by Forest Survey of India, Dehradun, is 17,219 sq kms, nearly 77.12 % of the total geographical area of the State. However, in the last decade or so, as in other parts of the country, this beautiful state has also undergone a drastic decline in the same. The charm of this State, which can undoubtedly be accredited to the vast greenery coupled up with a moderate climate, making it a tourist heaven for the people, sadly shall too be lost.
Assam Rifles have pledged their contribution towards promoting greenery, atleast in and around their deployment areas and have embarked, furthering its undeterred efforts of preserving the bounty of the nature, on a fortnight long ‘Go Green Drive’ in entire Manipur from 24 May to 09 June 2013. Maj Gen UK Gurung, IG AR(South) has chalked out a detailed roadmap to ensure significant contribution towards this noble cause and has exhorted all Assam Rifle Sectors and Battalions to put their best foot forward. Cooperation and assistance from the Forest Department has also been solicited besides motivating the villagers, particularly the youth, for their active participation in making the entire process a great success. Besides tree plantation, there have been a number of events planned during the drive which include lectures on the benefits of afforestation for students, drawing & painting competitions based on Go Green theme and excursion trips for school children to nearby parks and gardens.
In working towards the mutual goal of sustainability through environment conservation, it’s essential that we all should make a commitment to ourselves towards conservation of fragile and diverse ecologies and start working towards environment conservation as if it’s now or never. The endeavour undertaken by Assam Rifles is aimed at starting a legacy of sustainable environmental development for ourselves and for our future generations and in turn hoping that the Green Canopy of trees that still exists is not degraded further.

UKHRUL, May 21 NNN: Cultural items, displays of Tangkhul traditional cuisines and attires, flower show, painting competition and entertainment programmes marked the district level Shirui Lily Week-2013 concluding day today at Shirui village under Ukhrul district, Manipur.
Shirui Lily, first discovered by the British in 1946 as the lily that is found only at Shirui village, has become the Manipur State flower.
During the Shirui Lily Week-2013 concluding today, the denizens of Ukhrul district with traditional attires conglomerated at Shirui village which is situated some 15 km east of Ukhrul town and joined the celebration. Young and old, kings and paupers, strong and weak were united in the spirit of the rare Shirui Lily found only in the Shirui village. Traditionally, locally brewed beer was enjoyed marking an end to the week long celebration.
Cut to modern days, the celebration has been laced with festoons and fanfare with the showcasing of tradition within
the modern context. The Shirui Lily Week celebration is in this sense, a link between the gapping hole of tradition and modernity. For the people of Ukhrul district, it is a time to retrospect about the past and look forward to the future with optimistic zeal. Diaspora of Tangkhul community takes time out to reunite with their roots despite the
mad search for global identity. For those unable to make a connection to their forefathers’ blood-drench soil of Manipur, they still make an effort by organising a district level Shirui Lily Week celebration in heart.
Billed as one of the most important celebrations, the event was celebrated presenting rich traditional dance and songs organized by the people of Ukhrul.
It was celebrated at Shirui village with much fanfare and it brought huge people from across the district including far flung areas. The time falls in the middle of May every year. It is one of the most anticipated calendar time for the people of Ukhrul and elsewhere. One of the few occasions, Shirui Lily festival symbolises happiness and health, hard work and toil, peace and brotherhood, abundance and hope.

Mail News Service NNN
Imphal, May 21 : Joining the country in the observance of “Anti-Terrorism Day” on Tuesday, Manipur Government and the Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee organized functions here to mark the day.
Chief Minister O Ibobi and Deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam shared the dais during the function held at the Secretariat South Block. The participants pledged that any element which threatens life and its values would be dealt firmly.
Anti-Terrorism Day commemorates the day when former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi died. Gandhi died on this day in 1999.
They also vowed to maintain peace and harmony and work hard towards bringing understanding among people, and to decisively counter terrorism with all might by upholding the principles of non-violence and endurance of the nation.
Speaking at the occasion, Chief Minister Ibobi stated that terrorism brings nothing while appealing the underground organisations to solve problems through dialogue.
At the same time, Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) also observed the Anti-Terrorism Day at the Congress Bhavan here.Ibobi, Gaikhangam, ministers and Congress workers paid floral tribute at the photo of Rajiv.
Later, briefing the media after the function, the Chief Minister said that there were no differences between the Government and the people with regard to introduction of Inner Line Permit in the state.
The Government has been putting pressure on the Central leadership on the demand, but that it will be considered as anti-social move if the ILP demand committee decides to disallow non-Manipuris in the state.
“The Government will never permit and remain as silent spectator if such illegal steps are taken,” he vowed and added that Manipuris in other states could face the same fate.
He, however, suggested the committee to work together in the drive to identify foreigners in the state.
Making a clarification on the recent eviction drive carried out in Kabo Leikai here, Ibobi said the drive was part of the Government’s decision to upgrade Hotel Imphal to a 5-star hotel status.
He made it clear that residents in the locality failed to produce their original patta documents in the court and it was carried out after three years of assessment.
Although no compensation is given to land owned by the Government, it had already paid Rs 9 crore as compensation for all the standing properties in the area on humanity ground, he added.
Saying that the Government has never violated the legitimate rights of the Scheduled Tribes, Scheduled Castes and minority, he appealed to the Kuki Students’ Organisation (KSO) to withdraw the bandh and blockade being imposed over the quota issue in the interest of the public.
Ibobi further said the Government always gives quota to the ST, SC and minority and it is also trying to provide more facilities to them in future.
I.R.P.N.Singh, Minister of State in the Home Affairs administered the oath to the officers and staff of the Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions in North Block this morning.
The Day is observed to generate awareness in the country among all sections of people about the danger of terrorism, violence and its dangerous effect on the people, the society and the country as a whole.
The objective behind the observance of Anti-Terrorism Day is to wean away the youth from the terrorist/violence cult by highlighting the suffering of the common people and showing how it is prejudicial to the national interest. These objectives are aimed to be achieved by organizing debates/discussions in schools, colleges and universities; holding of symposia/seminars, lectures, etc. on the dangers of terrorism & violence and a determined and sustained drive to bring about a mass awakening against terrorism and violence.
Rajeev Shukla Minister of State for Planning and Parliamentary Affair today administered the Anti-Terrorism Oath to the Officers and Staff of the Planning Commission in YojanaBhawan on the occasion of the Martyrdom Day of Rajiv Gandhi.
