National Unemployment day

Week-long celebrations in the name of 'Seva Saptah' were launched by BJP from Sept 14-20 in view of PM Narendra Modi's birthday. PM Modi has turned 70 today, i.e. September 17. A majority of people on Twitter have lauded PM Narendra Modi's efforts in curbing COVID-19 across the country, handling the India-China situation among other things.

Recently, WHO had also praised PM Modi's timely and tough decisions in view of coronavirus and had said that India is in a better position than other advanced nations. But, on the other hand, a certain segment of netizens on Twitter have marked September 17 as National Unemployment Day and the trend has gone viral. The hashtag Rashtriya Berojgar Diwas or National Unemployment Day marks as a protest against the high unemployment rates in the country and to highlight the government's failure to create jobs and provide employment.

As per the National Statistical Office (NSO) report, India's April-June quarter GDP contracted by 23.9 percent, the first contraction in more than 40 years. The number of unemployed people are likely to grow not just because people are failing to find jobs, but also because several already employed are likely to lose their jobs, because of the economy and lockdowns imposed due to COVID-19.
