AGARTALA, June 3 (TIWN): Tripura’s massive unemployment developed as serious problem as 7 Lakhs unemployed youths 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 spiked high as Tripura ranked 4th highest employment in country. According to the recent Govt data released the total number of unemployed youths nearly 7 Lakhs. Tripura’s lameduck Chief Minister acting like a dictator due to 22 years CPI-M rule, as CM is least bothered about the fates of 7 Lakhs youths so Manik Sarkar has chosen to appoint a retired tainted IAS officer S.K.Panda to head all important ‘National Skill Development Mission’. Manik Sarkar quite successfully turned Modi Govt’s noble mission of ‘national skill development’ by appointing useless tainted officers so that Tripura’s unemployment problem spikes further high. As of 31st January 2016 data released by Tripura Govt, total number of unemployed youths remain at 7 lakhs approx.

 ( 3.75 Lakhs educated unemployed and 3.16 Lakhs uneducated unemployed).

Due to CPI-M Govt’s visionless policies, lack of planning, lack of private sector industries, nepotism and rampant corruption in Government Departments, alarming rise of unemployment in Tripura, which shows the lack of progress in 22 years rule.

As per the Economic Review reports of 2012 to 2015, Tripura ranked from 2nd to 4th places in unemployment, Kerala is in fourth position in unemployment level among states, with an unemployment level of 9.9 per cent. The three other states ahead of Kerala in unemployment levels are small states, namely Goa (17.9 percent), Tripura (14.1 percent) and Sikkim (12.6 percent).

However, if the unemployment levels are taken according to the current daily status (CDS) approach, Kerala is in the second position with 14.3 per cent behind Tripura (17.2 per cent). The report indicates that among the Indian states, the unemployment level is high among communist ruled states Kerala and Tripura.

Even though comrade Manik Sarkar and his boot-licker Ministers, Bureaucrats try to paint a rosy picture of Tripura’s so called ‘Golden Era’ but Tripura’s economy, unemployment further nose-dived to darkness.
