Challenges of Productive Employment Creation in India

I have new article on the institutional governance issues faced by employment sector in India. 

"The COVID-19 pandemic has paved a holistic structure for the implementation of a set of policies and programmes through the States with the help of technologies for reporting systems for all infected persons, tracking them, etc. At the end of the day, some status reports are put out for the public and it helps everybody from global monitoring agencies to the local public to be informed about the status of diseases spread. 

We need a similar or better-improved model through technology-driven governance structure for transparent decision making along with accountability for every other sector, especially the public healthcare system, modernisation of primary health centres, district hospitals, insurance policies of governments, etc. 

Similarly, we need to reinvent the entire social sectors such as the education and skill training sector as well as the labour and employment sector with a more robust mechanism to fulfill the aspirations of youth and educated graduates for finding livelihoods and employment opportunities, and to make their dreams come true in a more blended way. Are our top policymakers paying attention to the ground realities and the dismal situation of the employment sector? Only time will!"
