SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Editorial
SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Rising Jobless Educated Youth Outpace India’s Economic Growth It is a matter of great concern that for the country’s millions of educated youth, degrees andcertificates have become as useless as wastepapers as they fail to provide jobs and helpbrighten their future. Going by the official records, in the academic year of 2018 about 64.7lakh students passed out of undergraduate courses and over 20 lakh passed out of post-graduate disciplines. These include conventional three-year degree courses andprofessional degrees (law, engineering, medicine, business and management courses). Every year, almost 10 to 14 lakh engineers graduate from Indian educational institutions.The number of all students to graduate this year could be well over 1 crore. Unfortunately,there are not many jobs awaiting for these freshers. The pressure on the limited job marketfor freshers multiplies as millions of young graduates and postgraduates enter the arenaevery year looking for employment — suitable or unsuitable for their knowledge andeducational qualifications.The situation looks even more grim for those who look for jobs on completion of board levelexaminations under state education departments for want of money and adequate marks topursue with under-graduate studies, including short-term technical courses. The number ofstudents passing the central and state school board examinations every year runs intoseveral crores. More than 50 percent of those opt for jobs. The most preferred of them arethe government-aided primary school teacher’s jobs.Even that is not easy to get. Under the National Council for Teacher Education, a statutorybody of the union government, to be a teacher in state-funded elementary primary schoolsone must have senior secondary school certificate or its equivalent and diploma or certificatein basic teachers’ training of a duration of not less than two years. The salary offered is alittle over Rs.13,000 per month. According to reports, these jobs are far too few compared totheir demand. They lead to highly corrupt recruitment practices, including bribery andpolitical alignment.The Union Ministry for Human Resource Development (MHRD) does not routinely releasethe figures of school-passed students from states, especially those passing Class X andClass XII examinations. In the state of Gujarat, 14.03 lakh students had enrolled for state-level board examinations in 2021. In Maharashtra, the number was close to 20 lakh,including 3.7 lakh students from Mumbai. The number of such candidates in West Bengalwas over 10.79 lakhs. India has as many as 28 states and eight union territories.The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) figures are, however, easy to find out. In2022, over 20.93 lakh students had appeared for CBSE Class X board examinations alone,of whom 19.77 lakhs — or 94.4 percent — passed. The pass-out rate in most states isabove 90 percent. During the Covid-hit period of 2020-21, state education boards decided to ‘pass’ all examinees. Few really care to know what this massive number of school-passedboys and girls have been doing after leaving their schools and how many of them have beenlooking for jobs and with what results.According to MHRD, the country’s student population in higher education grew by 800,000 in2018-19, compared to the previous year’s counts, taking the absolute number of suchstudents to 37.4 million. Every year, nearly 1.5 lakh medical students pass out and get theirMBBS degree. While some go for post-graduate studies, others join mostly the public healthservice or private hospitals and nursing homes. However, engineers are not so lucky.Unofficial reports say that 20 to 33 percent of qualified engineers are either jobless orengaged in sundry work. Nearly, 1.5 million engineers passing out every year run the risk ofnot getting a job at all.Recently, Raghuram Rajan, a professor of finance at the Chicago Booth School of Businessand former Reserve Bank governor, said the high unemployment rate in India is a realdanger, especially for the lower-middle-class, as it creates room for "entrepreneurialpoliticians who cater to these divisions" rather than focussing on actually enhancing jobs. Heexpressed concern over India’s jobless growth and said tensions could grow in India ifminorities including Muslims and women are not part of strong, sustainable and - Kapilkumar M.
