Prime Minister Narendra Modi replaced both Central Ministers in charge of employment.
India will be the world's biggest labour force by 2027 and one of the fastest paces of economic growth country in the world. However, the Employment of People increases the Functionality of the Government.
Questions are raising about Modi's ability to fulfil his 10 Million Jobs every year campaign pledge with less than two years to go before he faces reelections. Few were shocked when he revamped his cabinet on Sunday, replacing Skill Development Minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy with Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and Labor Minister Bandaru Dattatreya with Jr.Finance Minister Santosh Kumar Gangwar. Mr Pradhan has successfully implemented Modi's pet projects, including offering clean cooking gas to the poor.
"There's been a complete failure when it comes to jobs creation and skilling," said Nilanjan Mukhopadhyay, a political analyst and author of a biography on Mr Modi. "The reshuffle is a clear indicator that Mr Modi is aware of the political risks this can create in 2019."
To be sure, there's demand for the skilled. India's government estimates the country will need an extra 110 million workers across 24 sectors of the economy by 2022, compared with the 105 million who will enter the workforce.
What's missing though is that only 5% of the current employees possess the required skills and it's a time running behind the Clock to train them all. Lack of funding and shortage of qualified trainers are among the reasons cited for the delay.
