Dear Divas Vats, Greetings of the day! As of November 2017, 5.52% of Indians were unemployed. In a country whose population is more than 1 billion, this is a number that should keep all the State and Central Governments awake at nights. Employment is necessary to ensure that millions of families in India don’t sleep hungry, reel under debts, or live a life of deprivation. The situation is critical and the Governments can’t sit back. Since the day AAP Government took oath on 14th Feb 2015, it started working on the transformation of Night Shelters, Mohalla Clinics, Government Schools, and Anganwadis (pregnant women and infant care centres). AAP Government's stand has always been crystal clear - it is a government’s responsibility to not just lend support to needy citizens, but also to make those citizens self-reliant, independent, and capable of living with dignity by themselves. This is every citizen's right and providing for it is every Government’s responsibility.  Therefore, in the last 3 years, Delhi Government organized about 6 Job Fairs to facilitate jobs for Delhi's educated youth. In these job fairs, a total of 25,000 candidates were offered jobs by about 300 participating private companies. The Government also follows up with these companies to review how many individuals were hired and follows up again after three months to see whether the employees are still working at these organizations. The stories of the lives that have been impacted is our real reward! The people impacted include those who have responsibilities to fulfil and families to feed. Not every youth has the privilege of pursuing higher studies. Some have to start financially supporting families right after high school. Such opportunities enable them to stand on their feet and become YPA (Young Performing Assets). This is just the beginning. There are miles to go and millions of more lives to impact. AAP Government is organizing the next job fair on 15-16th February at Thyagaraj Stadium in Delhi and is expecting to help thousands of more young Indians get jobs. Partnering to build our Young Performing Assets, AAP Outreach   PS: We keep you informed from time to time about AAP government's work for citizens of Delhi.

Yes. This is cool. I am subscribing to AAP's updates too ;)

At least there is space for conversations on issues that matter. 

# I was thinking what does employment mean in India. Quick googling told that a employable person having 30 days of work in a year is considered employment. 

[Divas Vats]

Assuming it is Shashank.

Considering 30 days of work as employment is like 10% electrification of a village is eligible for the records to say, that the village is electrified.

I agree with you Divas, what an engaging email. One of the very few  emails I read through.

I just recently went on a learning journey to understand Indian History and Politics, some very interesting perspectives came about. 

One particular one being from the director of Sewagram in Gujrat saying that a lot of positive social reform like Sati Abolition was possible because of British Raj.

Anyhow, thanks for sharing Divas. Indeed insightful to engage in these conversations. 

Also 30 days of employment :O  That's crazy.

Some arguments can begin with 'Atleast'! ;)

Atlas 30 days of employment is happening. We will get to 60 and 200 soon.

No Ajay 350 days would be too much. 

Work is not the only meaning of life, if not chosen :p

Dear YA,

Can you please share the link which mentions 30 days? I want to read more about it. 

Thanks :) 

[Divas Vats]

Shashank,

I disagree with 30 days of work being considered as employment. Employment fundamentally aims to help an individual at least fulfill his basic needs to sustain a dignified living. With the meager minimum wages, one can't even survive. It can also be used by the state institutions to fudge the figures, much like the GDP. The 5% GDP of 2011 is 7% of 2015. What values in actuality GDP adds or doesn't add is a separate discussion altogether. It misleads people who take things as told.

MNREGS has 100 days of work guaranteed for an individual which can be a benchmark to what it takes to ensure for people to survive.
