Need of Right to Employment Bill
Syed. Ali Akhtar
India has more than sixty five per cent youth population. But question arises, whether India is really looking young? Is India really shining? How to keep India Shining? Many questions come into my mind regarding the future of Indian youth who are facing lot of problems. A large number of educated people in the country are unemployed. Young people are a major human resource for development of any country, key agents for social change, driving force for economic development and technological innovation also.
After taking Professional education, when they are not getting job they commit suicide. Employment is behind the surge in number of students committing suicide. After taking admission in Professional Courses their real expectations regarding job has become high.
National Crime Records Bureau, recently released the data which shows that how suicide cases increased by 26% from 2006 to 2010, in metropolitan cities like Bangalore, Delhi and Mumbai having most victims in that order. While 5,857 students suicidals were reported in 2006, the figure rosed to 7,379 in 2010. It means, 20 students killed themselves everyday in year 2010.
Today, there is a greater link between employability and higher education. We are living in a democratic country and still we are facing such problems. Why we are not raising voice. If our government is able to implement, Right to Education, Right to Information, Why not introducing, Right to Employment Bill. Why Is it not be our fundamental right ?
The Education System in India as already pointed out is not very sound. Our Human Resource & Development Minister, Mr.Kapil Sibbal is trying to change the education system in it’s own way. He has taken several decisions in changing the system, but he has failed . The expansion of higher education has been completely unplanned and chaotic. Educated unemployment on this scale has made investment in human resources unproductive. Here is a need of reforms in the policies regarding Education and Employment.
It is a big irony that the best qualified among the educated people migrate to developed western countries for employment. Question arises why they migrate ? Answer is simple , they are not getting good opportunities in India. Their behavior, though justified from their own angle, results in a heavy loss to the society.
Now the time has come that the government should seriously think about Right to Employment Bill, which can ensure hundred percent employment guarantee and eradicate poverty which will make India really a problem free and prosperous Country.
