employment-orientated schemes like Jawaharlal Nehru Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM),
Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), Swarna Jayanti
Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY), Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY) etc.
resulting in employment generation both in the organized and unorganized sectors
across the country. In addition to the above the overall expansion of the Indian
economy and enhancement of GDP growth over the years have significantly contributed
for enlarging employment throughout the country and reduction of poverty. Vocational
training and empowerment of people through education enables greater employability
of our people.
