Nearly 9 lakh registered as unemployed in Uttarakhand

Dehradun tops the list with over 1.8 lakh people listed as unemployed

The number of unemployed in the state is reaching nine lakhs. It includes about 5.53 lakh men and 3.45 lakh women unemployed. Most unemployed are registered in Dehradun. According to statistics, the number of women unemployed registered in Dehradun is more than male unemployed.

There are 94,582 female unemployed and 88,364 male unemployed registered in Dehradun. The Congress is preparing to raise this issue of unemployment in the Winter Session of the Assembly, which is being held in Gairsain.

Unemployment in the state has been a big issue for the elections. Unemployment is a big reason behind the biggest problem of the state- migration. Young people especially are migrating from the mountainous region of the state in search of employment. To counter this, the government has constituted a new department under the name of skill development and employment.

Apart from this, the government has made several schemes to connect the youth with self employment. Despite this, the number of unemployed is still on the rise. Now the Congress is going to use this issue as a political weapon. Leader of the Opposition Dr. Indira Hridayesh, while providing the data of the unemployed registered with all the districts, said unemployment in the state is increasing constantly. What is the government doing to provide employment to the unemployed? Nothing has been done in the name of skill development. If there is less space in government jobs then the government will have to provide employment to the youth in other areas.
