00:33 by Anisha Reddy from Outlook

00:35 Nearly 2 crores young voters will cast ballots for their next government this year.

00:41 One of their major issues, unemployment.

00:44 In December 2023, on the 22nd anniversary of the militant attack on Parliament,

00:50 two young men jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the visitors gallery

00:54 while two others sprayed yellow gas, almost in sync,

00:58 and shouted slogans like "Tana Shahi Nahi Chalegi" outside the Parliament premises.

01:04 Their actions, which got them booked under the country's most stringent anti-terror law,

01:10 were meant to be a form of protest, albeit unusual, against unemployment.

01:16 Youth unemployment has been one of the major talking points in state and central elections.

01:22 Prime Minister Narendra Modi had promised to create 10 million jobs a year

01:26 when he came to power in 2014.

01:29 With the Lok Sabha elections approaching again, the spree of announcements has begun.

01:34 Be it the Congress's Pehli Naukri Pakki or the BJP's Modi Guarantee,

01:41 these promises come in the backdrop of rising joblessness among those in the age group of 20-24,

01:49 which grew to 44.49% in the October-December 2023 quarter

01:55 from 43.65% in the July-September 2023 quarter,

02:01 according to the latest Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy data.

02:06 "Election promises look good on paper mostly because they go into oblivion after elections,"

02:12 says Aratrika, convening body member of the All India Students' Association Karnataka and a college student.

02:20 Amit Bhosale, professor of economics at Azeem Premjiv University in Bangalore,

02:25 says that such announcements of recruitment drives and job reservations

02:30 indicate the real hunger for government jobs.

02:33 But they are strategically announced before every election cycle.

02:37 For this and more, read the latest issue of Outlook.
