No dearth of Central grants, yet jobs in Gujarat take a hit: Data

New Indian Express  

AHMEDABAD: Job creation under the Prime Minister’s Employment Generation Scheme has been declining, despite increased subsidies and average central government grants to Gujarat over the past three years, the Rajya Sabha was recently informed. In the pandemic-affected year of 2021-22, the scheme created 33,144 jobs in the state, which dropped to just 24,000 in 2023-24, raising concerns over the effectiveness of the programme in sustaining employment growth. This subsidy supported 4,143 units and created employment opportunities for approximately 33,144 youths, the Ministry of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises stated. However, despite a subsidy increase to Rs 32,124.58 lakh in 2023-24, the number of assisted units further decreased to 3,000, with only 24,000 jobs created.
