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.

Digital census was conducted for the first time in Pakistan and on this basis it was found that the unemployment rate here is at its peak. 7.8 percent of the youth do not have jobs, that is, about 1 crore 87 lakh youth of the country with a population of 24 crore 15 lakh are facing the brunt of unemployment.

A newspaper named Pakistan Observer has touched this painful pulse of the country. This report exposes helpless Pakistanis and careless rulers. Describing the system as helpless, she says that this unemployment rate does not care about those Pakistanis who are NEET. NEET means being deprived of education, employment and training.

One-third of Pakistani people are suffering from unemployment

It has been told in this article that the unemployment crisis is deeper than it appears. One-third of Pakistanis aged 15 to 35 are currently facing the brunt of unemployment. According to the published report, the number of ‘working age population’ i.e. the population of working age is also not less. Of the 17.17 crore people who are capable of working, 11 percent do not have any job.

The article says that the ‘NEET’ group includes those who have stopped looking for work altogether, are involved in unpaid or unorganized enterprises, or are stuck in family businesses whose production capacity is not significant.

Structural unemployment is increasing in Pakistan

The article also details the miserable condition of Pakistani women. According to the report, the female labor force participation rate is also quite low. Not only is there a problem with NEET, but the low participation rate of half the country’s population has made the situation even more worrying.

These declining rates clearly indicate that the skills of the labor force are not keeping pace with the economy and hence structural unemployment (structural unemployment in which the skills of the employer and the person looking for employment do not match) is increasing. The Pakistani educational system has also been held responsible for this, which is following the old pattern.

Inclination of youth towards government jobs

The Pakistani government is not able to make the students skilled as per their demands. Vocational training is also limited, on the other hand educated youth are more inclined towards government jobs. Government jobs are very less in relation to the population and competition is also strong. While some get jobs, many are left empty handed and thus the number of educated unemployed is also increasing.

The unemployment rate has increased to about 8 percent in 2025, in which the total labor force is 8 crore 51 lakh 80 thousand and the number of unemployed is 68 lakh 10 thousand. The report says that the employment rate is about 52.2 percent, which indicates that almost half of the working age population is either unemployed or facing the problem of underemployment (not getting a job as per qualifications).

The impact of floods devastated small businesses and local job markets.

Inflation, foreign exchange crisis, the impact of floods of 2022 and recently 2025 have devastated small businesses and the local job market. The World Bank’s Post-Disaster Needs Assessment revealed billions of dollars in losses and millions of people falling back into poverty. The report recommends thoughtful policy making and warns that if this is not done, it could cause long-term economic damage to the youth and the country.

The article not only talks about the economic loss due to unemployment, but also points towards bigger problems arising from it. Due to unemployment and lack of money, marginalized youth are forced to migrate, then become criminals or become part of extremist networks, posing a serious threat to the security of the country. The psychological impact that appears in the form of disappointment and frustration is very deep and harmful.

Youth trafficking and bonded labor in Pakistan

Youth from some backward areas of the country are trafficked for bonded labour. Not only this, they are forced to beg or pushed into sex trade. The coal mines of Balochistan have become a horrific symbol of this exploitation, where workers die due to lack of basic safety equipment. These tragic incidents are rarely reported in the media and reflect the complete failure of the system to protect youth.

In the end, this news talks about the failing society of Pakistan because of its rulers. The report says that in some madrassas and on social media, agreements are made to give respect and status to the youth who are forced to live a miserable life and then weapons are handed over to them. Youth waving weapons become a symbol of fear in the society and this is what fails us as a society, because the Pakistani system is not able to give them the purpose which is necessary for the progress of the country.

Amidst the Bihar election campaign, former Congress President Rahul Gandhi addressed a large public meeting in Aurangabad on Tuesday. In the rally, Rahul made sharp allegations against the Modi government at the Center and said that the Modi government has sold all the government companies of the country, everything has been given to industrialists like Adani-Ambani.

Rahul said, “No matter how much you study, the paper gets leaked two days before the exam. We do not want such a Bihar.” He said that today two Hindustans have been created in the country. One of the billionaires and people in suits and the other of the poor, farmers and laborers. Taking aim at PM Modi, the Congress leader said, “Modi ji goes to the weddings of billionaires, dances and sings with them. Have you ever seen him hugging a farmer? Have you seen him holding the hand of a labourer?”

Congress leader targeted PM Modi

The Congress leader said, “If the Constitution is not saved, only Modi, Adani and Ambani will be left in the country. The rights of everyone else will be snatched away.” He said that the government’s insurance schemes have now become a new way of taking money from farmers and giving it to private companies. Taking a personal dig at the Prime Minister, he said, “Modi knows that he ordered separate clean water for himself to bathe in Chhath and the common Bihari had to bathe in the rotten water of Yamuna.” During this, Rahul said that our aim is to create employment in Bihar, open the doors of banks for the youth and not just for Adani-Ambani.

What did Rahul Gandhi say on INDIA alliance?

He promised that if the INDIA coalition government comes to power, new world class universities like Nalanda University will be built in Bihar, where foreign students will also come to study. Rahul said, “Demonetization and wrong GST took away employment from the youth of Bihar. Today the situation is such that people are making reels because there are no jobs. In Bihar, Modi ji snatched the land from the farmers and gave it to Adani. Amit Shah says that there is no land to set up industries in Bihar, but land is always available for Adani.”

In a huge public meeting held in Sonbarsa before the assembly elections in Bihar, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra made a scathing attack on the NDA government at the Center and the state. Directly targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said that BJP leaders always talk about the past and for this they insult Nehru ji and Indira ji. He told PM Modi to create an insult ministry, so that you will not need to prepare the list yourself.

Priyanka Gandhi sarcastically said that if the Prime Minister wants, he can also prepare a list of insults to her family so that she does not have to work hard. He said that Modi government does not talk to the youth of the country on employment and education. He further said, “If any youth asks questions, he is declared a traitor.”

Priyanka spoke on the youth and farmers of Bihar

Priyanka Gandhi expressed concern over the increasing migration in Bihar and said, “The youth of Bihar have to go to other states for employment because there is no employment here. Earlier people used to earn from farming, but now farmers are not able to get the right price for their crops. This situation shows the failure of the government’s policies.” He said that Narendra Modi has given the country’s big industries to his industrialist friends.

He said, “Narendra Modi has given the country’s big industries to his friends. Adani was given Bihar land at Re 1 per acre, but common people have to take loans to get land, which is never forgiven. Loans worth thousands of crores of Modi ji’s friends are forgiven.”

Priyanka Gandhi told the women that PM Modi and Nitish are talking about giving Rs 10,000 before the elections, but the question is where was this money earlier? Weren’t women struggling earlier? He said take money from them, but don’t vote. Don’t get trapped in their false promises.

Vote cutting and attack on public rights

Priyanka Gandhi alleged that the NDA government is snatching people’s votes. He said, “Votes of more than 65 lakh people have been canceled in Bihar. This means that their rights have been taken away from so many people. Vote theft is a big conspiracy against the people.”

A poster made a dispute outside the Congress office

Congress state president Ajay Rai is shown as Laxman, who is seen standing with Rahul Gandhi. Party workers say that this poster symbolically reflects the public’s anger against the current situation and the policies of the BJP government. He believes that just as Lord Rama had ensured the victory of religion over unrighteousness by killing Ravana, in the same way the Congress will work to end the problems of the people.

Congress fighting against unemployment

Aryan Mishra, who put up the poster, said that Rahul Gandhi is the real Ram of today, who is fighting against evils like inflation and unemployment. He also said that the Congress is the power that can eliminate the current political dictatorship.

A glimpse of the Congress’s aggressive attitude seen in the poster

Different reactions can be revealed from opposition parties to put political posters on religious festival like Dussehra. However, Congress supporters believe that such symbolic posters convey better messages to the public and keep the party’s thinking clearly. This poster put up in Lucknow has not only connected religious symbolism to the political message on the day of Dussehra, but has also shown a glimpse of the Congress’s aggressive attitude in the electoral atmosphere.

The White House on Saturday released a ‘factories’ and supported President Donald Trump’s new and controversial decision. Under this, a huge fee of US $ 1 lakh (about 88 lakh rupees) will be charged on the new H-1B visa petitions. The administration says that the move aims to save American employees from replacement from foreigners and secure American employment.

According to the factory, the share of employees working in the IT sector on H-1B visa was 32% in 2003, which has increased to more than 65% in recent years. At the same time, unemployment rate among American students studying computer science and computer engineering has reached 6.1% and 7.5%, which is double the graduates of other subjects. Between 2000 and 2019, the number of foreign Stem (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) was doubled, while the total stem employment increased by just 44.5%.

This year a large scale trimmed

The White House also mentioned some companies, which trimmed thousands of American employees, while the recruitment of H-1B employees increased. A company was approved 5,189 H-1B visas in 2025, but this year it fired 16,000 American employees. The second company received 1,698 H-1B approval, but removed 2,400 US employees in July. A third company has trimmed 27,000 US employees since 2022, while 25,075 H-1B visas have been approved.

The White House said that President Trump has been given a mandate to the American public to give priority to American workers and they are constantly working on it. According to him, all the new jobs have been received to American -born employees since Trump took over, while most of the employment went to foreign employees during Biden.

According to the latest data, 72% of Indians were found in around 4 lakh H-1B visas issued between October 2022 and September 2023. Following this order of Trump, anxiety and nervousness spread among Indians living in America. Many people canceled the plan to go to India at the last moment, while many people present in India started trying to return to America.

Fees will be applicable only to new petitions

However, the administration later made it clear that this new fee of $ 1 million will be applicable only to new applications. Older visa holders will not have to pay it and those who are already out of America will not have to pay any additional fee on re -entry. This rule will be applicable from September 21 and the petitions filed before it will not be affected by it.

In Pakistan, common people are struggling due to inflation and unemployment, while the country’s army has transformed itself into Pakistan’s largest business empire. According to the IANS report, Economic Policy and Business Development Think Tank (EPBD) released by Wealth Perception Index 2025 has included a list of top 40 business groups in the country.

The dominance of military related companies can be clearly seen in this list, as well as the first dollar billion billion companies were identified for the first time.

Army under billions of dollars control

According to the report, according to foreign estimates by 2025, the annual value of business expansion of Pakistan Army is in tens of billion billion. This amount is shocking for the country, which is constantly facing poverty and economic crisis. At the top of the list is Fauji Foundation, an estimated price of $ 5.9 billion, while nine other military affiliated companies cost more than $ 1 billion.

‘Not limited to defense just’

Army’s access is not limited to arms only. Institutions like Fauji Foundation, Army Welfare Trust and Defense Housing Authority (DHA) are active in areas like banking, agriculture, manufacturing, real estate, education and retail. These institutions get tax exemption, special rights on government land and regulatory security, which keeps them different from normal market competition. In this way retired and active officials have extreme control, while civilian business is facing difficulties.

Poverty versus tanks and fighter aircraft

Despite being dependent on the IMF, Pakistan’s army continues heavy expenditure on tanks and fighter jets. In contrast, ordinary families have a problem of increasing unemployment and declining income. Pakistan’s per capita income in 2025 is $ 6,950, which is much less than in neighboring countries. According to the World Bank’s 2025 report, Pakistan’s 44.7 percent of the population is living below the poverty line of $ 4.20 per day. Apart from this, 16.5 percent people i.e. about 39.8 million people are living in extreme poverty, which was 4.9 percent earlier.

The Fauji Foundation with a wealth of about $ 6 billion is equivalent to some medium -sized Indian companies such as Apollo Hospitals and JSW Energy, but it is still much smaller than big companies such as HDFC Bank ($ 145 billion) or Tata Group ($ 436 billion).

The political stir has intensified due to the October-November assembly elections in Bihar. This time the war is being fought on two fronts – through rallies and trips on one land. At the same time in the second social media field. Everyone is fighting war in their own style at their own level.

Political parties know that in today’s time every class – youth, women, elderly and children – are using social media on mobile. Therefore, digital campaign has become an important weapon in the election campaign. Parties on Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter) and YouTube are sending their message to millions.

How many followers?

BJP has 11 lakh followers on Facebook and 7 lakh followers on X. JDU has 9 lakh followers on Facebook and 3.11 lakh followers on X. At the same time, RJD has more than 13 lakh followers on Facebook and more than 11 lakh followers on X.

New style of campaigning in elections

Parties are not limited to speeches and posters only. Now they are tightening each other using rap songs, AI technology and Bollywood dialogues. Efforts are being made to heat the atmosphere by making reels and sharing viral posters.

Fierce on issues

The BJP is surrounded by RJD and Congress on issues of familism, corruption and jungle Raj in Bihar. At the same time, the grand alliance is targeting the NDA for unemployment, migration and promise.

Experts and leaders’ opinion

Senior journalist Santosh Yadav believes that this time social media will become a big means of election campaign. He said that “Prashant Kishore’s party is the most active. BJP-JDU is ahead, while RJD is also holding fast.”

At the same time, BJP spokesperson Kuntal Krishna said that “We want to tell the youth how Bihar was under the rule of RJD-Congress. Therefore, we are resorting to social media.”

RJD spokesperson Ejaz Ahmed claimed that “We have kept public issues better on social media. We have got widespread support from the voter rights journey on the ground.”

This time the election is clearly showing that along with rallies, digital war will also be an important way for victory.

Whereas, 9.3 percent of the people said that the removal of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir was the most important achievement of the last 11 years of the Modi government.

What is the biggest failure of Modi government?
