India
will spend Rs. 70,000 crores ( $ 17 billion ) on current Commonwealth Games (
Oct.3-14, 2010 ).
Games
Organizing Committee ( OC ) claims that the games will create 2.47 million
jobs. A beginning has been made by employing some 36 relatives.
But
as of May 2010, some 38 million young Indians are waiting for jobs, having
registered with 900 + State Employment Exchanges.
To
give jobs to all of them, all we have to do is to sanction to the OC, a
provisional expenditure of Rs. 1,076,000 crores ( $ 262 billion ) - with a
stipulation that the actual figure after 5 years must not exceed the
provisional figure by more than 10 times.
They
will lose no time by hiring forthwith, additional 540 far-flung cousins /
nephews etc.
In
India, cousins / nephews have never remained jobless !
