After winning the exam battle, youth now have to face the jobs war
After the five-week Gen Z sit-in at Jantar Mantar, the government changed its Education Minister, set up a Nandan Nilekani task force on exams, and promised tougher punishment for anyone tampering with exams. But clean exams only decide who qualifies, not who gets hired. India needs about 78.5 lakh new non-farm jobs a year until 2030. Watch hiring policies closely.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The Economic Survey 2023-24 estimated India needs nearly 78.5 lakh new non-farm jobs every year until 2030.
- Under Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PM-KVY), only 19.1 lakh of 27.3 lakh enrolled beneficiaries were certified over the past three years.
- NASSCOM puts direct IT and IT-enabled services employment at about 59.5 lakh for FY2025-26, but the sector added only about 1.35 lakh net jobs that year.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you run a business, keep an eye on how these job-creation and skilling policy changes affect your hiring and training plans, and check with a qualified professional before counting on any scheme benefit.
