Employment Glass : Half Empty or Half Full ?

For IT / Engineering / Technology Graduates , is the employment glass , half empty or half full ?
For those graduates who keep looking at the following statistics , it would certainly appear , half empty :
 2012 batch of IT/Computer Science graduates…………….. 1,15,711
 2012 batch of Engg / Technology graduates ………………….3,56,570
 Employee Addition in 2012-13 , by
• Software Companies ……………………………………………………( – ) 28 %
• Outsourcing Companies ………………………………………………( – ) 13 %
But for those graduates with “ never-say-die “ attitude , the glass is half FULL !
Using RESUME BLASTER App ( free download from Google Play ) , they are proactively / aggressively , emailing their resumes ( and absolutely FREE ) to 60, 676 Companies / Employers , belonging to following industries , in 665 cities / towns ( including their own ! ):
 Consultancy / Services ……………………. 35 , 987
 IT Software ………………………………………. 18, 023
 ITes ………………………………………………….. 3, 192
 IT Hardware ………………………………………. 1, 888
 Dotcom / Internet …………………………….. 1, 586
They have realized that
 no recruiter has time to search / find their resumes from amongst millions lying in job-portal databases
 Luck does not “ arrive “ at your door-step. You must go grab it !
Who says the glass is empty ?

Jobs for All = Peace on Earth ?

Difficult to prove thru experiment on a global scale
But suppose , either Congress or BJP were to adopt following ONE – LINE manifesto for the forthcoming National Election in 2014 :
“ If you vote us to power , we promise jobs for 80 million unemployed graduates during 2015 – 2020 “
No other promises of Lok-Ayukta , Electoral Reforms , Equal Representation for Women , Independence of CBI , etc etc
No nothing . Just one line !
Will that get them absolute majority ( 2 / 3rd ) in the Parliament ?
Just ask any Jobless Graduate
And here is a simple experiment to prove this
Let the winner Congress Party start distributing in Karnataka , free Smart phones / Tablets / Laptops etc , to all unemployed , duly pre-loaded with RESUME BLASTER App ( Google Play )
All doubts will disappear !
If this promise has brought regional parties to power in UP / Punjab / TamilNadu / Assam / Rajasthan etc , then it is bound to work at the Center !
Gujarat , with the least unemployment rate of just 1 % has brought BJP to power for the third consecutive term !

JobSeeker Resources.

I hope the following list of a few useful web sites will help millions of unemployed ( especially , the undergraduates and fresh graduates ) to deliver / email their resumes to lakhs of Small / Medium Enterprises ( SMEs ).
Or enable them to write to MPs/MLAs of their constituencies what they are doing for providing jobs to 51 lakh graduates coming out of India’s colleges , each year.

HALF – A – WORLD APART

India and America are half-a-world apart but their concerns are the same

In his first Republic-day address , Indian President Pranab Mukherjee said :

“ The young cannot dream on an empty stomach. They need jobs “

In far away America , President Barack Obama spoke :

“ Jobs will follow, wherever they find talent; whether to Kolkatta or to Cleveland “

This how American Bureau of Labor Statistics ( United States Department of Labor ) reports :

As far as India is concerned , here is what National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) reports :

·     India’s unemployment rate fell to 6.6% in 2009-10 from 8.2% in 2004-05. The general perception is that unemployment in India is high, but the actual numbers seem reasonable. That’s because self-employment accounts for about 60% of India’s employed population.

·     Given the lack of viable employment opportunities, a large number of Indians opt for self-employment. And a big chunk of this includes low-paying activities like hawking magazines and flowers at traffic signals.

·      Casual workers — who get jobs at times and remain unpaid at other times — account for 30%

·     Only 10% of the working population are regular employees.

·      Given the scarcity of opportunities, higher youth unemployment shouldn’t come as a surprise.

Apparently there is a mismatch between NSSO survey and

·     Indian Population Register, according to which India’s population is growing at 15 million / year

·     Ministry of Labour , according to which 42 million youth are registered with 966 Employment Exchanges , all over the country

·     Ministry of Human Resource , according to which , some 3.5 million students graduate from Indian colleges each year but only 10% find jobs

When will our politicians realize that it is  JOBLESSNESS  which is the root cause of all militancy / aggression / violence / conflict / protest etc in our society ?

If they did , they would stop crying hoarse about corruption and make “ JOB  CREATION  “ , their ONE POINT manifesto , for 2014 National Election !

And the political party that does, will get absolute majority in the Parliament  !

Are UPA / NDA listening ?

Hemen  Parekh

Jokepal is better than “ No Lokpal ‘ !

It is about time that Anna and Kejariwal appreciate the facts of life , viz:

Ø It is far better to have a bird in hand than two in the bush !

Ø “ Ideal “ is what you work towards, but rarely achieve

Ø Whenever there are two parties to a dispute , a “ Compromise “ is the only possible solution

Ø You cannot “ take and take “ ; you must “ give and take “

Ø You never know what will work and what won’t

Ø In a parliamentary democracy , laws cannot be passed on streets. To be able to change the laws – or introduce new ones – you must first change the law-makers

Ø No human is “ All-knowing “; Even Gods made mistakes when they assumed human form

Ø After waiting for 30+ years , people are tired of any further waiting for a Lokpal - no matter with or without an independent CBI

Ø For people’s sake , please “ Wait and Watch “ , without pre-judging

Terrorists with a Religion ?

If none of the religions – whether Hinduism / Islam / Christianity / Buddhism / Judaism / Jainism – or any other , preach violence , then what is the religion of the terrorists ?
Obviously , their religion is , Terrorism
Rama – Krishna – Mohammed – Jesus – Buddha , Moses , all taught us to,
? Love each other
? Live – and let live – in peace
? Never hurt another human being
Mahavir ( Jainism ) went so far as to say,
“ Never hurt any Being – not just human being – be it through Thought , Speech or Action “
Why are our religious leaders not counselling our political leaders – and public at large – about these basic tenets of all the religions ?

Raining Cards ?

Some 70 years ago , I had only one card – the Ration Card
I was using it to buy , either wheat or bread or war-disposal biscuits from a Shivaji Park ration shop in Mumbai
Now I have,
 Driving License Card
 Senior Citizen Card
 Voting Card
 Credit Card
 PAN Card
 Aadhar Card ( UID )
Apart from sundry cards issued by private / commercial companies and NGOs
As if this was not enough , Central Government of India wants me to carry one more card !
National Population Register ( NPR ) is all set to issue,
 Resident Identity Card ( RIC )
It will contain demographic and biometric details of the owner and will be issued to 820 million adult Indians at a cost of Rs 5,552 Crores
I believe only those holding RIC will be entitled to receive subsidized food-grains under the Food Security Act
How about a card to replace all the above-mentioned cards ?
