Even though India has been experiencing high economic growth rates over the last two decades, the e employment creation has been a major problem.
The concerned data reveal that even though Indian economy was fortunate enough to experience high growth rate, it has miserably failed to provide employment to the Indian masses. So fundamentally something is wrong with our growth strategy. So is the case with our employment strategy.
As such, in this paper, a humble attempt is made to provide an alternative strategy based on Gandhian model of development as advocated by the experts on employment. Therefore, first, we present data on the miserable situation of unemployment in India and later we argue for this alternative strategy of employment generation.
