AGARTALA / NEW DELHI, June 7 (TIWN): CNBC has reported that Modi may need some help from state govts to curb unemployment problems where states like West Bengal even though having low unemployment rate but various states in India are being chased by high unemployment rate, disturbing the economic situation heavily. “India needs to do more to foster job creation, which can happen only with better policy making by the central government and at the state level”, reported CNCB. But national as well as international analysis of unemployment rate always sidelines states like Tripura which is populated only by 36 lakhs people. The cries of unemployment are highest in Northeast Indian state Tripura which has almost no industrialization due to geographical location, however, Govt is now taking initiative to boost tourism to promote employment just like states as Goa. Hence it can be a long-term project but youths need immediate relief from unemployment which was promised by BJP before coming in power like 50,000 Govt jobs to be given in first one year. At least 7 lakhs unemployed youths are in Tripura, who had voted for BJP in 2018-Assembly Election.

But. Govt of Tripura instead of giving immediate relief by appointing youths in Govt depts and keeping pre-poll promise up, rather cancelled various recruitments which assisted to push the unemployment rate at higher.

The most concerned matter is that Tripura’s unemployment rate which was 24.6% in April month according CMIE report, in May month it has shot up to 30.2%. Under the previous Leftist Govt also unemployment rate was highest but it was limited at 11%. According to May, 2019’s data of CMIE Chandigarh, Haryana’s names come in the unemployment list after Tripura at 18%. Tension also erupted as amid massive unemployment ongoing in Tripura, Govt of India has released data that the unemployment rate is increasing at the national level without a pause and 6.1% which is indeed highest in last 45 years. However, with the new cabinet formation usher of hope is there that there will certain solutions in coming days. The GDP rate has fallen below China. According to Central Statistics Office (CSO) it has been revealed that GDP growth during 2018-19 fiscal stood at 6.8 per cent, lower than 7.2 per cent in the previous financial year.
