AGARTALA, March 9 (TIWN): Unemployment stands as serious problem in Tripura as young graduates have no place to search jobs other than enrolling names as CPI-M cadres in party offices. With the increase in number of pass out students, the number of unemployed is also raising high. The unemployed youths of the state, from nursing department placed deputation to Health Minister Badal Chowdhury on Wednesday at Mantri Bari road demanding jobs in the state for their livelihood. A total of 20 students under nursing department from GNA nursing institute placed deputation as they are not recruited for the jobs. Failing to get jobs under the regime of CM Manik Sarkar, the unemployed youths met Health Director followed by Deputy Director over the same issue.

Further the agitated youths placed deputation to Health Minister Badal Chowdhury but did not get assurance from the minister.

Tripura has third highest unemployment, 2013’s report says.

Tripura is a state, which has no proper industry where people can run their livelihood; neither has it had any proper source of income.

In few states people often carry out their livelihoods by tourism, but at Tripura all the source of income has been closed with the negligence role of the state govt.

So govt. job has left as the only way, but here govt. is engaged to depriving the youths, alleged one of the youth.

Therefore, the duty of the government should make every possible effort to solve unemployment problem if not, the state will face serious problem in the near future.

The Manik Sarkar government has failed to give employment to lakhs of unemployed youths during his 15-year rule. How many more years will it take to give jobs to the youths?

Although the state govt. has failed to provide jobs to the qualified youths of the state, govt. with its full strives is setting up the State University to provide “Quality education”.

On August 7, Tripura Legislative assembly tabled the report of the Select Committee on Maharaja Bir Bikram University Bill, 2015 aiming to provide quality education in the state.

Inputs are increasing, but what are the outputs of education here? Day by day many degree holders are expanding, as expanding unemployed too.

In this situation state govt. has brought another plan to create more crisis of job by setting up a State University. Every year from this University many students will pass out. So including state and Central University a large number of students would pass out every year and suffer from jobless situation.

Unemployment is a serious problem in the state. Lack of industries, vocational/skill development training institutes, and absence of government policies are some of the reasons which is leading to growing number of unemployed youths.
