## ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT

## (SHRI RAMESWAR TELI)

(a) to (f): The data on Employment and Unemployment is collected through Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) conducted by the Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation  (MoSPI)  since  2017-18.  The  survey  period  is  July  to  June  of  the next year. As per the latest available Annual PLFS reports, The estimated Worker Population Ratio (WPR) on usual status for persons of age 15 years & above was 46.8%, 47.3%, 50.9%, 52.6% and 52.9% during 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21 and  2021-22  respectively,  which  shows  that  employment  in  the  country  has increasing  trend.  The  State-wise  estimated  Worker  Population  Ratio  (WPR)  and Unemployment Rate (UR) on usual status for persons of age 15 years & above since 2017-18 are at Annexure I and Annexure-II.

The estimated percentage distribution of  workers on usual status  by  broad industry division during 2017-18 to 2021-22 is given at Annexure-III.

The  'Make  in  India'  initiative  was  launched  on  25th  September,  2014  to facilitate investment, foster innovation, build best in class infrastructure, and make India a hub for manufacturing, design, and innovation. It is one of the unique 'Vocal for Local' initiatives that promoted India's manufacturing domain to the world. 'Make in India' initiative has significant achievements and presently focuses on 27 sectors under Make in India 2.0.

As per the latest available Annual PLFS Reports, the estimated percentage distribution of workers in usual status in Manufacturing Sector has been increased from 10.9% in 2020-21 to 11.6% in 2021-22.

Employment generation coupled with improving employability is the priority of the Government. Accordingly, the Government of India has taken various steps for generating employment in the country.

Investments in Infrastructure and productive capacity have a large multiplier impact  on  growth  and  employment.  The  budget  of  2023-24  proposed  to  increase capital investment outlay steeply for the third year in a row by 33 per cent to Rs 10 lakh crore, which would be 3.3 per cent of GDP. This substantial increase in recent years  is  central  to  the  government's  efforts  to  enhance  growth  potential  and  job creation.

The  Government  of  India  has  announced  Aatmanirbhar  Bharat  package  to provide stimulus to business and to mitigate the adverse impact of Covid 19. Under this  package,  the  Government  has  provided  fiscal  stimulus  of  more  than  Rupees Twenty Seven lakh crore.  This  package  comprises  of  various  long  term  schemes/ programmes/ policies for making the country self-reliant and to create employment opportunities.

The  Aatmanirbhar  Bharat  Rojgar  Yojana  (ABRY)  was  launched  with  effect from 1st October, 2020 to incentivize employers for creation of new employment and restoration of loss of employment during Covid-19 pandemic. The terminal date for registration  of  beneficiaries  was  31.03.2022.  Since  inception  of  the  scheme,  till 11.03.2023,  benefits  have  been  provided  to  60.3  lakhs  beneficiaries  under  the scheme.

The  Government  is  implementing  Prime  Minister  Street  Vendor's  Atma Nirbhar Nidhi (PM SVANidhi Scheme) since June 01, 2020 to facilitate collateral free working  capital  loan  to  street  vendors  to  restart  their  businesses,  which  were adversely  impacted  during  the  Covid-19  pandemic.  As  on  13.03.2023,  42.21  lakh loans have been disbursed under the scheme.

The Government of India is encouraging various projects involving substantial investment  and  public  expenditure  on  schemes  like  Prime  Minister's  Employment Generation  Programme  (PMEGP),  Mahatma  Gandhi  National  Rural  Employment Guarantee  Scheme  (MGNREGS),  Pt.  Deen  Dayal  Upadhyaya  Grameen  Kaushalya Yojana  (DDU-GKY)  and  Deen  Dayal  Antodaya  Yojana-National  Urban  Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NULM) etc. for employment generation.

Further,  the  Ministry  of  Skill  Development  and  Entrepreneurship  (MSDE)  is implementing the National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS) and Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) to enhance the employability of youth.

Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY) was launched by the Government for facilitating self-employment. Under PMMY, collateral free loans upto Rs. 10 lakh, are extended to micro/small business enterprises and to individuals to enable them to setup or expand their business activities. As on 24.02.2023, more than 39.65 crore loan accounts sanctioned under the scheme.

The Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes is being implemented by the Government with an outlay of Rs. 1.97 lakh crore, for a period of 5 years starting from 2021-22 which have potential for creating 60 lakh new jobs.

PM  GatiShakti  is  a  transformative  approach  for  economic  growth  and sustainable development. The approach is driven by seven engines, namely, Roads, Railways, Airports, Ports, Mass Transport, Waterways and Logistics Infrastructure. This approach is powered by Clean Energy and Sabka Prayas leading to huge job and entrepreneurial opportunities for all.

Besides  these  initiatives,  various  flagship  programmes  of  the  Government such as Make in India, Start-up India, Stand-up India, Digital India, Housing for All etc. are also oriented towards generating employment opportunities. All these initiatives are expected to collectively generate employment in the medium to long term through multiplier-effects.
