According to the Periodic Labour Force Survey the unemployment rate in India has a declining trend: 2020-21= 4.2%, 2021-22 = 4.1%, 2022-23 = 3.2%. The percentage of unemployment shown above may appear to be not very high in comparison with other countries. While looking at our large population these cannot be small in numbers. Over and above these when we add the figures of under employed, those unaccounted found in large numbers in the agricultural sector, the youth passing out every year etc into consideration the actual figures may be much higher. We may also keep in mind that there are countries like South Africa with 29.8%, Djibouti with 27.9%, West Bank/Gaza with 25.7% etc have high rates of unemployment. While assessing the employment rate,  the median age too holds significance. Countries with lowest median age are, Niger 15.3, Uganda 15.7 and Mali 16.2. When we take the work force, India is on the best layer of the median age 28.4 (29.8). The median age of Japa...

Our  political leaders when have a large gathering to listen, say, economic development of India is something easily achievable one. We may overtake China in another few years! We will be among the advanced countries of the world! And very soon by political parties' loud speakers we may listen that we are going to be the richest in the world! Speakers continue with their tall speeches and the listeners continue to clap their hand. Our one-way traffic media reports make these great speeches reach as much people as possible. But what is hidden from probably most of the people are: 1) considerable amount of about 1.5 billion population still live below poverty line or close to the line above, 2) a large amount of our population are between illiterates and below matriculation, 3) ours is one of the most unsafe country for women in the world, 4) countless number of people are begging in streets across the country, 5) unknown number of children are unable to attend the school...

There  are many instances of allegations of corruption against government officials, ministers, political functionaries etc in Kerala through news media time and again. In response to this the people as a whole do not react considering that their hard earned money is being swindled by antisocial elements. 'Don't mind, let them have it', seems to be the general attitude of the people.

    The New Parliament of India  For over seven decades India is standing proudly in the world as independent nation. We are among the top layer of the world in GDP. We manufacture plenty of products of international standard and sell among different countries. We have educational institutions and hospitals recognised by many countries. While all-round development is taking place in our country, we do not give adequate attention to refine our democracy. About 1.5 billion population depending wholly on our democratic establishments. Unfortunately our democratic establishments do not take adequate care to restructure our parliamentary democracy as it needs to be. For instance, one with no knowledge of law can be a law minister; an illiterate can be an education minister; a health minister need not hold any medical degree, and so on. We need certain alterations in such fields. For instance, it must be compulsory that a law minister should hold a law degree, healt...

In many people the decision to vote to which party is influenced by their parents and grandparents. The time is changed and the world around us too is changed considerably. Along with that every bit of information is at our reach. We can evaluate each party, their past performance, the charector of their leaders, the fundamental nature of each party, their promises for the future, their efficiency and resources to achieve the promise and such many other aspects.  We should not go for any petty consideration. Our nation should hold the prime significance. Corruption is the deadliest weapon held by many parties. If we do not get out of this all-round corruption prevailing in our country it will destroy the people and country one day. When your vote is a clean one, it should be received by a clean one too!
