While we deal with the question of unemployment, our attention goes to the question of the educated unemployment. This educated unemployment, I need hardly add, leads to create frustration and to have such a frustration in our nation is to be sitting on a live volcano. Educated man-power in India currently accounts for 10 per cent of work force in the age group of 15 to 59. The number of educated applicants on live registers of Employment Exchanges was 11.16 million in 1983 and 12.53 million in 1984. I must here suggest that a beginning somewhere has to be made. Take up the question first of these educated unemployment and extend the right to work as a legal right, first even to this particular group in our economy.
Here also, when talking about a vexed problem for generation of employment we may see among the educated unemployed, certain classification. In 1984 Matriculation unemployed on the live registers of Employment Exchanges were 7.30 million, Higher Secondary pass including Intermediates were 1.97 million. At least somewhere, the point I am emphasis is, we must make a beginning. If we cannot extend this right to work to the entire population of ours, then we may identify certain sectors, certain groups to begin with and grant that right to them. At the same time have proper policies to see that in those particular groups at least we are marching towards the concept of employment.
While talking about the educated unemployed we have of course the scheme for self-employment. Banks and Government agencies, here I must say, lead them to a new avenue of employment while drawing up scheme for helping the educated unemployed, bank loans are granted, but I may take this opportunity to point out that a large number of cases of under-financing and delayed financing occurs in the case of helping these educated unemployed.
