A group of industry veterans on Monday launched a national initiative called ‘Hundred Million Jobs’, which aims to create 10 crore employment opportunities in India over the next decade. This initiative has been launched at a time when the country is facing the challenge of inadequate employment generation despite rapid economic growth.

According to the organizers, the campaign was announced by Harish Mehta, co-founder of software industry body NASSCOM, AJ Patel, founder of global entrepreneur network ‘The Indus Entrepreneurs’ (TIE) and K Yatish Rajawat, founder of the Center for Innovation in Public Policy (CIPP).

The founders said that the working age population in India is growing at the rate of about 1.2 crore every year, while traditional employment sectors like manufacturing are not expanding at the expected pace. To take full advantage of the country’s demographic dividend, it is necessary to create 80 to 90 lakh new jobs every year. Although India is among the world’s fastest growing major economies, the pace of employment growth has lagged behind output expansion.

The increasing use of automation and artificial intelligence (AI) has put pressure on entry-level jobs in many sectors, deepening concerns that the gap between economic growth and job creation could widen.

The ‘Hundred Million Jobs’ Mission places entrepreneurship, skill development and labour-intensive enterprises at the center of India’s employment strategy. The initiative aims to make employment generation a key parameter of economic growth, to ensure decentralized, sustainable and dignified livelihoods across sectors. Harish Mehta said that this initiative is a concerted effort to empower entrepreneurs, micro, small and medium enterprises and employers to create resilient and dignified livelihoods for the next generation through better synergy between skills, enterprise, data and policy.

At the same time, AJ Patel said that startups and small industries, which contribute about 30 percent to India’s GDP and are the largest employers, should also expand outside the metros. He stressed that if the country has to create 80-90 lakh jobs every year, the structural barriers that make entrepreneurship viable for the common people will have to be removed.

What was the rule earlier?

Earlier the rule of negative marking was applicable in the UP Police Recruitment Examination. According to the old pattern, the candidate got 2 marks for every correct answer, while 0.5 marks were deducted for every wrong answer. For this reason, the candidates had to solve the questions very thoughtfully. Many times, even after knowing the answer to the question, students would leave it due to the fear that if the answer was wrong, their marks would be deducted. Especially in subjects like General Knowledge and Current Affairs, this fear was seen even more.

What are the new rules?

Now a big change has been made in the rules of UP Police Recruitment Examination. According to the new system, no marks will be deducted for wrong answers of the candidates. This means that now you will get marks in the exam only by giving correct answers and giving wrong answers will not have any negative impact on the score. After this change, candidates will be able to answer all the questions without any fear. This amendment has been made under the Uttar Pradesh Police and Jail Service Rules 2025, which has been approved by the state government. Now the candidates are waiting for the official notification to be issued by the UP Police Recruitment and Promotion Board (UPPRPB), in which complete information related to the examination will be given clearly.

What will be the benefit to the candidates?

• Fear will end, confidence will increase- Now there will be no fear of giving wrong answer. With this, candidates will be able to solve questions with more confidence during the examination.
• Time management will be better- Earlier candidates used to spend a lot of time thinking whether to ask the question or leave it. Now they can solve the questions directly, which will save time.
• Opportunity to solve more questions- Now students will be able to attempt maximum questions. This will also increase the chances of good score.
• Relief in General Knowledge and Current Affairs- Many times the answer in these subjects is not completely certain. Now candidates will be able to answer on the basis of guess also, because there will be no loss if it is wrong.
