AGARTALA, Oct 3 (TIWN): In a shocking development, Tripura's unemployment toll has raised at near 40% in September'2018 month. When in August month tension had increased with 9% hike in unemployment rate at 28.60% but this month it reached at 39.10% (40%) i.e. more 12% hike than the August month. Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy has released the date of statewise, where Tripura not only tops in unemployment rate but also 18 % more than the second topper state in unemployment Chhattisgarh (22.2%). Established in 1875, the BSE is Asia’s first stock exchange has released the data. According to BSE, In November 2017 unemployment rate was 8.19% in December 2017 13.25 % in January 2018 (Pre-Election time) the unemployment rate was 20.09 % which raised in February (election month) 30.33 %, then worst at March with 15.16 %, April 13.64, then in May 23.93 %, June 22.82 % but July it slightly downed at 17.98 % but led disaster in August with 28.60 and finally it now at 39.1% almost 40%. With a major shame when Biplab Deb's Govt continues to claim about so called "Acchee Din" the reality is horrifying and it's also a proof that suppressing media voice can not suppress national data.
Tripura's top-ranking is however continuing from last few financial years. However, the ruling govt has alleged a total collapse of state economy in the last 20-30 years where govt job was kept as the single option for livelihood. In this situation, how far the new govt will be able to invite industrialists and manage foreign investments in state, it’s the most challenging job for the govt.
Moreover, with the increasing graduates years after years the unemployment tolls are raising further, but existing recruitments were cancelled by the Govt.
Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb has remained firm to his remarks after paan-shop and cow-breeding controversies and on April month he said, “The attitudes towards earning have to be changed. Because the left govt couldn’t change the attitudes among youths, thus they created around 7 lakh of unemployed youths in the state. Job doesn’t mean to work in a corporate sector. Tripura Govt is now working to provide 3000 jobs in 100 days. So, govt is trying to change the attitude of the youths towards livelihood”.
However, attitude of youths yet to be changed as Biplab Deb wants but Unemployment tolls are spiking high & high eveny month, which indicates State Govt Malfunctiong under Biplab Deb.
