A 3-year-old Modi government has a lot to boast about: be it the passage of the GST bill or a consistently high GDP. On the flip side, job creation under the government has dipped to a record 8-year low. There are other worrying signs as well: the agricultural sector grew at a measly 1.2% in 2015-16 while expenditure on education remains stagnant at 3% of the GDP. On this edition of We The People, we ask: does this government have a plan to convert 'jobless' growth into real jobs? How successful have the numerous government schemes like Make in India and Skill India been? Have risky moves like demonetisation actually worked in the government's favour?
