Chief Guest, Shri Gopal Rai said that the need of the hour is to formulate a national employment policy to solve unemployment, the country is facing the dreadful crisis of unemployment. Our country is currently experiencing a severe unemployment issue. Even with advanced degrees, young people are knocking on doors for work. Instead of generating new employment, over lakhs of government positions are vacant, and youth, on the other hand, are being lathi-charged. The whole world stands witness to the repression of aspirants of the RRB & NTPC exam by the government. Now, even if the hiring is taking place, it’s done on a contract basis with minimum wages so low that it is difficult for workers to live a dignified life even after working overtime. Instead of creating new employment opportunities in the private sector, the sword of retrenchment is hovering over the heads of the people. Similarly, the nation’s farmers have been compelled to fight for a law establishing a Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops. The government has no plan for strengthening women’s economic power, although they make up half of the nation’s population.

Our governments have yet to formulate policies to address the problem of unemployment that should have been in India following independence. That is why, even after more than seven decades of independence, our country has yet to formulate a “National Employment Policy.” Already beleaguered by unemployment, the corona has exacerbated our economy’s predicament. In the current times, the challenge of unemployment is not limited to the populace of villages but has spread over megacities, as well. No one has escaped the ravages of unemployment, regardless of caste, religion, language, or region of residence, whether female, male, or third gender.

For the past several years, the predicament of unemployment and economy has perplexed most of the nation’s organizations, including students, youth, labourers, farmers, and women, but the central government has refused to listen. In such a situation, it is imperative that all organizations work together to launch a national anti-unemployment movement.

Shri Gopal Rai said that without any exception, all the organizations are struggling in different ways regarding unemployment issues and economic problems, but the central government doesn’t pay any heed to this concern. It is the need of the hour that all the organizations together should initiate the National Movement against Unemployment.

Over 200 prominent organizations of Students, Youth, Teachers, Trade Unions, Farmers, Women, LGBTQ+, Journalists, Dalit, Tribal, NGOs, etcetera attended the National Employment Conference and formed a Sanyukt Rojgaar Andolan Samiti (SRAS). All the members of SRAS vouched for associating other organizations across the country in the employment movement.

From 1st May to 26th May 2022, an Employment Parliament will be organized in every state of India like the Employment Parliament held at Jantar Mantar in Delhi last year in which all the struggling organizations there will be involved, the details of which are as follows:
