AGARTALA, Oct 10 (TIWN): According to CMIE report published for the September month, 2019 India’s urban area’s unemployment rate is 9.9% whereas rural unemployment rate is 6.7%. More suffered state is among all Indian states is Tripura whose unemployment rate is now 31.2%. Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) has revealed its monthly data for Indian unemployment rate for September-2019, listing Tripura at the top position in unemployment rate with 31.2%. Indian national unemployment rate is 7.3% and among 29 states, Tripura has bagged the top position this time. Tripura constantly has remained at the top position in unemployment rate, although in August, 2019 it dropped in the second position with 26.4% but this month it jumped at top position with 31.2%. Delhi is now in second position in unemployment rate with 20.4% and Haryana is 3rd with 20.3%.CMIE data has generated tension further when Tripura like many other states is reeling under economic crisis.

If Central BJP Govt could fulfill the promise which it made before the Election about employment generation including 50,000 Govt jobs per year, the situation could be different and better.

National unemployment rate of India is much higher than World Unemployment rate and highest unemployment rate of India of last 50 years.

According to ILO the unemployment rate is only 4.95% at the world level and India’s unemployment rate is 7.3%.

BJP Govt before voted to power in Tripura promised in written document that it will give 50000 govt jobs within one year of the Govt formation but the Govt only could gave around 1400 jobs reportedly along with thousands of terminations. However, State Govt has motivated entrepreneurship and invited investors with the slash of corporate taxes. Tripura Govt also started single window system for ease in business and loans were sanctioned at a huge number to youths who chose to be job creators.
