According to the CMIE’s latest data, the highest rate of unemployment was registered in the state of Haryana with 30.6 per cent.

India’s gross unemployment rate rose to 7.80 percent in June as per the latest data from the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy’s (CMIE).

The maximum decline in employment opportunities was seen in rural areas, in the agricultural sector with the unemployment rate in rural India jumping up to 8.03 per cent in June, which was 6.62 per cent in the prior month.

According to the CMIE’s latest data, the highest rate of unemployment was registered in the state of Haryana with 30.6 per cent followed by Rajasthan at 29.8 per cent, Assam with 17.2 per cent, Jammu and Kashmir at 17.2 per cent and Bihar at 14 per cent.

CMIE managing director Mahesh Vyas told news agency PTI, “This is the biggest fall in employment during a non-lockdown month. This is basically a rural phenomenon and seasonal. The rise in unemployment in the agriculture sector is due to seasonal factors. It is most likely to be reversed in July when the sowing begins and every year the employment increases a bit in kharif.”

He further added, “while 13 million lost jobs during the reporting month, the count of the unemployed increased by only 3 million. The rest exited the labour markets as the labour force shrunk by 10 million.

“The fall in the rate of employment is mainly related to the informal market and it’s most likely to be a labour migration issue, the rest exited the labour markets as the labour force shrunk by 10 million . It is alarming that June 2022 saw a fall of 2.5 million jobs among salaried employees.

“June further revealed the growing risk of salaried posts. The government shrunk the demand for armed personnel and opportunities in the private equity-funded new-world jobs also started to shrink. The rain god cannot save these jobs. The economy needs to grow at a faster pace than it may in the near future to save and generate such jobs,” he was quoted as saying by PTI.

The economy of India need to grow , this is not a good sign for nation’s development.

Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra on Tuesday said that Kaali, for her, was a meat-eating, alcohol-accepting goddess.

Kolkata: Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has unfollowed the official Twitter handle of the TMC after her party clarified its stance on the comments made by Ms. Moitra for her comments on Goddess Kaali.

She was responding to a question at the India Today Conclave East 2022 on the row over a poster depicting an actor dressed up as the Goddess smoking a cigarette.

However, Moitra still follows  TMC supremo and Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee.

Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra on Tuesday said that Kaali, for her, goddess Kali was a meat-eating, alcohol-accepting goddess.

“When you go to Sikkim, you will see that they offer whiskey to goddess Kaali. But if you go to Uttar Pradesh, and if you tell them that you offer whiskey to the goddess as ‘prasad’, they will call it blasphemy,”  Moitra added.

TMC put up their statement in the form of a tweet that said “The comments made by @MahuaMoitra at the #IndiaTodayConclaveEast2022 and her views expressed on Goddess Kali have been made in her personal capacity and are NOT ENDORSED BY THE PARTY in ANY MANNER OR FORM. All India Trinamool Congress strongly condemns such comments.”

The poster of the documentary film at the center of the row recently went viral on social media with several people saying that the poster was an insult to the Hindu goddess and hurt religious sentiments.

“The comments made by @MahuaMoitra at the #IndiaTodayConclaveEast2022 and her views expressed on Goddess Kali have been made in her personal capacity and are NOT ENDORSED BY THE PARTY in ANY MANNER OR FORM. All India Trinamool Congress strongly condemns such comments,” the tweet put out by the official handle of TMC read.

Social media users have responded furiously to the documentary poster for Leena Manimekalai’s film because of how Goddess Kali is depicted. A police complaint against the filmmaker offended religious sensitivities.

First Delhi and now UP police have filed a Fir against  Manimekalai.
