Question

Suggest some measure to create more employment in India

Answer 1

How to create more employment. 

1. Diversification of Agriculture : 

More than 60 % our workers are employed in agriculture but our farmers are producing only limited crops. There is need to diversify agriculture. Farmers should be encouraged to adopt pisiculture, horticulture animal rearing etc. along with cultivation of crop. 

The government can spend some money or banks can provide a loan, to construct wells or other irrigation facilities to irrigate the land. A dam can be constructed or canals can be dug to irrigate many farms. This could lead to a lot of employment generation within the agricultural sector itself reducing the problem of underemployment 

2. Cheap credit :

Most of the farmers depend on informal sources of credit. Government should encourage the commercial banks to provide loans to the farmers at cheaper rates. 

3. Provision of basic facilities : 

Our rural areas lack basic facilities like roads, transportation, banking, market etc. The government should invest some money in these sectors so that Indian village can be linked to other market. This activity can provide productive employment to not just for farmers but also other such as those in services like transport or trade. 

4. Promotion of local industries : 

Promote and locate industries especially the cottage and small scale industries in semi rural areas where a large number of people may be employed. 

5. Improvement in Education & Health : 

Most of the Indian villages lack education and health facilities. A study conducted by the planning commission estimates that nearly 20 lakh job can be created in education sector alone. Similarly. We need many more doctors, nurses, health workers in rural areas. 

6. Tourism or regional craft industry, or new services like IT require proper planning and support from the government. Study by the Planning Commission say that if tourism as a sector is improved, every year we can give additional employment to more than 35 lakh people.
