reasons and concerns”

although the service sector contributes 55% to GVA FY-2024 but lags in job CREATION.
- In agriculture research where ₹ 1 investment including Education pays off ₹ 13.85 still faces farmers’ strikes due to a lack of policy implementations at groundwork.
2. PLFS’s latest report is 2024 — a significant proportion of working women in low-paying, hazardous, and informal jobs.
Solutions:
A “Socialistic” economic approach is necessary, Policy implementation should be on farms not on paper. ex. monitoring crops and seeds availability as per the soil, water irrigation at the time, and easy access to loan availability without a burden of payoff.
- Progressive Taxation- TAX collection and Distribution should be demand-driven.
2. skill-based education is the key to prosperity rather than a mugging up old age education system.
3. Social Safety Nets- Railways, Roads, and infrastructure should be proper to connect the marginalized sector in terms of affordability, accessibility, and approachability.
4. International Labour Organisation Report- around 83% of youth are still unemployed in India which raises a question about government policy implementations
