AGARTALA, July 11 (TIWN): Tripura Education Minister Ratanlal Nath in defence of his Govt after Tripura ranked up at 2nd topper state in unemployment rate, said that Tripura is a totally different state and the unemployed youths are very active in compare to other states and their registrations numbers are higher more than the actual percentage. According to the Minister, many other states except states like West Bengal, the unemployed youths are not so much active. “Tripura youths searches for jobs and very serious about job opportunities. That means they find out where is jobs, which dept is giving them jobs”, said Minister Nath. Ignoring CMIE data totally, the Education Minister on yesterday claimed that Tripura’s unemployment rate is only 5%

He said, active job seekers are only 1.73 lakhs. The same statement was given by Chief Minister Biplab Deb few hours back of Nath’s statement, proving the Govt trying to start a propaganda machinery.

He said before BJP Govt, the previous Govt did not update data time to time and thus it created huge numbers of unemployment rate.

Nath data exempted the over aged jobless people and other workless people.

Moreover, he claimed that in compare to other states, Tripura’s job seekers are more and that’s why the percentage shown more.

According to CMIE, Tripura is having the 2nd highest unemployment rate with 21.3% whereas Assam is right now has only 0.6% unemployment rate, which is the lowest in the whole country.
