The Modi government has taken a big and revolutionary step for the youth troubled by unemployment in the country. The Central Government has approved the 'Employment Linked Inscent (ELI) Scheme' in a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, which aims to create a large scale employment opportunities in the country. This scheme is especially for those youth who are going to work for the first time and who do not have experience.
The way the Modi government announced the PLI (Production Linked Incentive) Scheme to promote manufacturing during its second term, similarly this time the ELI scheme has been implemented to increase employment. Under this employment scheme, the government targeted to provide employment to more than 3.5 crore people in the next two years. For this, the government has fixed a budget of Rs 1 lakh crore.
To promote employment, the government has taken this step before the Bihar assembly elections, where the opposition coalition on the issue of employment is busy in creating a political negative. In such a situation, the Modi government is considered to be a strategy to neutralize the opposition issue in Bihar as well as to keep youths from all over the country.
Modi government's employment scheme
The Modi government has taken historical steps towards increasing jobs. Under the ELI scheme, the government will be given an incentive amount of up to Rs 15,000 in two installments for the first time. The first installment will be given 6 months after joining the job, while the second installment will be given after 12 months. This incentive amount will also be given to employees with salary up to Rs 1 lakh. Companies will also be encouraged for 2 years separately to create more and more jobs. For this, 3 thousand rupees per employee will be given every month.
The government will give this subsidy directly to the companies, so that they can hire more and more new employees. Overall, this scheme is especially more beneficial for those youth who have recently come in employment or who became unemployed after epidemic. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnav said that the special focus of this scheme is on the manufacturing sector, so that maximum employment can be generated there. Apart from this, the government will also help to keep someone on the job for a long time.
Jobs will come out in the country
The Modi government's ELI scheme will provide great relief for the youth looking for jobs for the first time. Companies will get encouragement to keep new people on jobs and will boost both employment and social security in the country. Better opportunity for youth deprived youth due to speed and development and lack of experience in the manufacturing sector.
The government has set a target of creating more than three and a half crore jobs in two years under this scheme, out of which the target is to give jobs to around 2 crore youth for the first time. To provide subsidy to companies, a budget of one lakh crore has been approved, through which the focus of companies will exercise more and more jobs. In this way, if new people get employment, companies will also get encouragement by the government.
Modi's strike on opposition issue
The opposition has been surrounded on the issue of employment since the Modi government was formed at the Center. Has been reminiscent of the promise of giving two crore jobs in a year. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Aam Aadmi Party convenor Arvind Kejriwal to RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav have been surrounded by the Modi government on the issue of unemployment. At present, the problem of unemployment has been a major issue for the opposition to surround the central government. The issue of rising unemployment in the country has been giving weapons to the opposition from north to South India and East to West India to attack the government.
Among those who want a government job, there is a large number of youth of Bihar. In the last few years, a government job in India has been a big election issue. In such a situation, the question arises whether the promise of providing employment scheme being launched by the Central Government can take away the issue of unemployment from the opposition, because the government has given jobs to two crore youth in two years. StrategyHas made
Will there be a political friendship in Bihar
In Bihar, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, during the 2020 assembly elections, had a bet to win a political game by promising to give jobs to 10 lakh youths when the government was formed in Bihar, due to which Nitish Kumar lost sweat to save the government. Due to BJP's performance, the NDA government was formed and Nitish's chair was left. This is the reason that in the 2025 assembly elections, the political fabric is engaged in weaving the opposition on the issue of employment. From RJD to Congress, they are busy in surrounded by Nitish Kumar on the issue of employment.
The anger of the youth has also been shown on the streets many times due to increasing unemployment in Bihar. There have been demonstrations on the demand of youth of Bihar, people have to do even migrate in another state in search of employment. The 2020 election made it clear that the issue of employment would prove to be decisive. To break the political chakravyuh of the opposition, the Modi government has staked the ELI scheme just before the Bihar assembly elections. In this way, the promise of giving two crore jobs every year in its first term, it is now a strategy to implement it.
What will be the bet of Modi government
Analysts believe that due to demonetisation, flaws of GST and problems arising from Corona, the government's promise of providing employment could not be fulfilled. But the question is that the approval given from the cabinet of employment scheme now, how successful will they be able to remove unemployment. Experts who keep a close watch on the employment situation in India believe that big basic steps will have to be taken to increase jobs in the country.
According to which the Modi government has approved the ELI scheme to increase jobs, the government will transfer a one -month salary to their bank account for the first time. This will reduce the burden on the working companies. This will encourage them to give jobs. This amount will be transferred to three installments which will be up to a maximum of Rs 15,000. The youth is likely to benefit from this scheme, but experts say that only inauguration will not increase employment.
The economic condition of the country deteriorated due to the Korona epidemic. Industries were given special tax incentive to increase recovery and employment in the economy so that they give jobs to people, but it did not happen and the industries did not expand. The demand in COVID and then the country had reduced considerably. Industries felt that their investment would be stuck, so the money should not be invested at the moment. In such a situation, where would the employment grow?
Economic matters say that there are short term measures to increase employment. To increase employment, the scope of manufacturing will have to be increased. Education and skill development and healthcare will have to invest large. This is the basic step. It is difficult to generate employment on a large scale without them, but it is not impossible. In such a situation, the ELI scheme is definitely being considered a big step towards new job creation.
