Kapurthala, November 11
The Department of Employment Generation and Training has failed to generate employment for the youth who had got registered their names for the past many years. Reports said about 10,000 unemployed youth have been registered at the Kapurthala Employment Exchange while only 5 per cent of them got contractual employment.
The total registered unemployed youth include 559 B.Ed degree holders, 546 graduates, 2,239 Class XII passouts, 2,068 matriculates, 530 diploma holders, 798 ITI pass-outs, 2,301 under-matriculates and 803 workers.
Interestingly, the unemployment allowance is meagre and has not been revised for long notwithstanding the fact that the inflation has gone up significantly. The unemployment allowance per month for the blind, deaf and dumb, who are up to under-graduates, is Rs 450 and for those having postgraduate degree is Rs 600.
For other categories, unemployment allowance of Rs 150 per month is being given to those who are undergraduates and Rs 200 monthly for the postgraduates.
What is even more shocking is that there is a condition that unemployment allowance to educated unemployed can only be given if his/her family income does not exceed beyond Rs 1,000 per month.
Buggan Singh, an unemployed youth, said, “I got registered with the employment exchange around six years ago but I have got no unemployment allowance so far due to low family income limit of just Rs 33.33 per day.”
The employment exchange officials were not willing to comment on the matter.
