India needs 20 million jobs a year but budget speeches have had very low mention of jobs. The state elections are afoot in some big states but jobs are a big focus among the voters. The finance minister mentioned creating 60 lakh jobs over 5 years in this year’s budget and has also increased investment in some sectors that could help create jobs. While this is a start, it is woefully inadequate in a country that needs 20 million jobs a year. Sridhar Krishna speaks to Anupam Manur, Aarushi Kataria and Sudisha Mishra to evaluate the impact this budget has on jobs.Follow Sridhar on Twitter: https://twitter.com/sridhar_kriFollow Anupam on Twitter: https://twitter.com/anupammanurFollow Aarushi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/aarushi_katariaFollow Sudisha on Twitter: https://twitter.com/sudishamishraSuggested readings: 2022 in Numbers: The Big Numbers to Focus On by Ira DugalBudget 2022: What do the Budget 2022 Numbers Tell Us? by Ram SinghCapex Hike to Social Sector Cute: The Story of Budget 2022 by MintUP Election 2022: Here Are the Issues Shaping Votes in Uttar Pradesh by DNAUP Polls: Priyanka Stresses on Jobs During Door-To-Door Campaigning by Hindustan TimesSamajwadi Party Vows to Make Farmers Debt-Free by 2025, BJP Promises 3Cr Jobs by Namita BajpaiCheck out Takshashila’s courses: https://school.takshashila.org.in/You can listen to this show and other awesome shows on the new and improved IVM Podcast App on Android: https://ivm.today/android or iOS: https://ivm.today/iosYou can check out our website at https://www.ivmpodcasts.com
