Central Government: 22 Crore Applied, 7 Lakh got Jobs, 9 Lakh Posts Still Vacant -Subodh Varma

-Newsclick.in

Modi had promised the creation of 2 crore jobs every year during the 2014 election campaign.

Two questions asked recently in Parliament elicited answers from the government that reveal the horrendous state of jobs and vacancies in the Central government. One of the questions (#1803 answered on July 27) asked how many people applied for jobs in the Central government and how many actually got permanent jobs. In reply, the minister of state in the ministry of personnel, public grievances and pensions – who is also the minister of state in the Prime Minister’s Office – replied that between 2014 and 2022, a staggering 22.06 crore applications for jobs were received by the Central government out of which 7.22 lakh persons were recruited. That means about 0.3% of recruitment, or 3 out of every 1,000 applicants, were successful.

Another question (#463 answered on July 20) asked about the total number of vacancies in the Central government. The same minister replied that as of March 1, 2021, there were 40.35 lakh sanctioned posts in the Central government out of which 30.56 lakh posts were filled. That means about 9.79 lakh posts were lying vacant.

How are these two replies given in Parliament to be interpreted? The most logical interpretation is that even after recruiting 7 lakh people, the government is still keeping over 9 lakh posts vacant.
