Prayagraj, or the erstwhile Allahabad, tops this unemployment list with an unemployment rate of 8.9%.

It’s no mere coincidence that Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj has the dubious distinction of being the city with the highest unemployment rate in the country. Government record shows that a whopping 1.5 lakh unemployed youth are in the queue of those hunting jobs which are few and far in between.

The National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) in its recent report had listed the rate of unemployment in 45 cities that have a million or more residents. Prayagraj, or the erstwhile Allahabad, tops this unemployment list with an unemployment rate of 8.9%. This NSSO’s Periodic Labour Force Survey for the period July 2017 to June 2018 was released by the government on May 31, 2019.

The status of unemployment in Prayagraj can be gauged from the fact that at present around 1,47,561 unemployed are registered with the Regional Employment Office, Prayagraj. These includes 1,19,663 men and 27,878 women. However the list of individuals bagging jobs is very brief. One factor, officials say, is the fact that a large number of government recruitment drives are stuck in litigations while in the private sector, mere 337 have managed to bag a job, records of the Regional Employment Office, Prayagraj shows.

Assistant director of Regional Employment Office, Prayagraj Ratnakar Asthana conceded that low count of youths who have found jobs here but shared that the office organised four ‘Rozgar Melas’ or employment fairs just this year already and the 337 youths who bagged jobs have succeeded by getting employment through these very fairs. The latest of these fair was organised on August 29 in which well known firms like Eureka Forbes, Swiggy, Pukhraj Healthcare and NIIT participated and selected 143 unemployed individuals for jobs.
