Hello PM @narendramodi, I will ask you some out-of-syllabus questions on jobs in this thread.
1. You had set up a committee under former Niti Aayog V-C Arvind Panagariya in 2017 to ascertain the right mix of statistics on jobs. Why haven't you made the final report public yet?
1. You had set up a committee under former Niti Aayog V-C Arvind Panagariya in 2017 to ascertain the right mix of statistics on jobs. Why haven't you made the final report public yet?
2. The Panagariya panel had said household surveys are the best for mapping jobs in India and the NSSO's latest survey will fill the statistical vacuum. Why haven't you published the NSSO periodic labour force survey 2017-18 report despite all approvals in place?
3. The NSSO report, which hasn't been published yet, showed unemployment rate at 6.1% - a 45-year high in the series. By hiding the report, do you take all the blame for rising unemployment?
4. Chalo, let's forget abt the NSSO report. The Labour Bureau had also produced an annual household survey report for 2016-17 which showed unemployment rate at 3.9% - a 4-year high in the series. Why hasn't it been made public, despite the Labour Minister's approval in December?
5. You said Mudra loans led to job creation. But can't job creation happen even when the unemployment rate is rising? A rising unemployment rate doesn't mean no jobs were created at all. Is there any data apart from the NSSO & LB reports that gives info on unemployment?
