New Employment Opportunities in India

There would be lots of new employment opportunities in the next three months in almost all sectors in the country, including finance and real estate. This is the estimate of global staffing service firm manpower.

The firm believes that in the coming days, most employment opportunities will be in Indian companies. This means the country has recovered from the shock of economic recession and the country's growth rate is moving ahead in the right direction.

Positive Signs
With the help of government stimulus packages, industrial production has increased with demand. The increase in demand for consumer goods has helped in dealing with recession, and employment opportunities have increased the most in Indian companies with improvement in automobile, IT, and BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) sectors. This proves that economic recession has become a thing of the past for the country. IT (Information Technology) and BPO sectors have also proved this by providing employment to most number of people.

The commendable aspect here is that these sectors have achieved this despite the United States not fully recovering from recession, and its discouragement to outsourcing. More than half the business of these sectors is done with the United States. In the coming days, there are signs that employment opportunities in service, finance, insurance, and real estate sectors of the country might increase by four percent in comparison to the previous quarter. After the third quarter of 2008, for the first time employment opportunities in Indian companies are going to grow so rapidly.

Major Sectors
In the coming quarter of April to June, there would be lots of job opportunities in services, finance, real estate, construction, mining, and manufacturing sectors of the country. In 2009, Indian companies made lot of recruitments during October to December 2009.

This recruitment drive was led by IT and BPO sectors. In this quarter, 638,000 more people got employment in comparison to the same period in the year. After having recovered from the jolt of recession, IT companies have made bumper recruitments.

Recovering From Shock of Recession
The peculiar thing during this period was that 91percent new recruitments were made by the export sector. This means that the country's export sector has recovered from the shock of recession, and it is back on track.

To keep the train of development of trade and industry running fast, it is necessary that policies and the atmosphere are conducive to the same.

President's Message Gives Clear Direction to Real Development

The Republic Day message, given by Indian President Pratibha Patil, carries a special message for the people. The message assumes significance not only for being a formal and traditional message that the president delivers on the eve of every republic day to the people of the country but is also indicative can also serve as a beacon to reach the goals of construction of a new India.

Development and Progress
Expressing grave concern at the spiraling price rise, she stressed the need of another green revolution in the country to ensure availability of food grains. In fact, the painful sky rocketing prices of essential commodities, particularly of food articles, have cast its shadow on the jubilations of the republic day. That pain is being felt by the president of the Republic of India also because she represents the country. There is no gainsaying that ensuring availability of food articles, poses a huge challenge to the country. To face it, we can no longer depend on the sweet will of nature and seasons. To meet the challenge, there indeed, is the need for another green revolution as she has suggested. Clearly, until effective initiatives are made at the official level, the thought expressed by the president cannot be translated into a reality.
Maintaining that the next ten years would be very decisive for the country, the president said that every Indian would have to show complete responsibility, discipline, and wholeheartedly work with the great spirit of cooperation and with a sense of purpose. In fact, we have set our target to become a developed nation by 2020 and have also identified some goals to achieve the target. She referred to the same.

Employment Opportunities
India has come out of the global economic meltdown courageously and creditably. The international community, too, has lauded India for its endeavor. The fact remains that in spite of the worse-ever situation, employment opportunities in the IT sector have increased in India. As against it, unemployment has become rampant in the United States and hundreds of banks there continue to go bankrupt. However, in the midst of progress, many of our weaknesses, too, have come to the fore.
We have failed to reach expected local of development despite having expertise and skills. We have failed to eradicate corruption, which is eating into the vitals of the country like a malignancy. Even more tragic is that corruption that is rampant in the government administration, is fast spreading into the corporate sector as well. A survey conducted recently revealed that 83.4 percent of the management at the lower level in the corporate sector and 90.1 percent at higher level indulge in irregularities and corruption.
There is no need to explain what role the corporate sector plays in industrial and economic progress of the country. Similarly, the responsibilities devolving on the bureaucracy for this purpose are quite clear. Also, it is well known what significance the political leadership has in taking the country along the path of progress and development. If germs of corruption get embedded into these vital sectors, it would adversely affect the graph of the progress indeed. Since we have failed to achieve the desired standards of progress as yet, we need to pay greater attention to it during the next ten years and we would have to work with the dedication and sense of responsibility that the president has called for.

Line of Action
President Pratibha Patil has rightly asserted that we would have to work hard to carry India to the peak of development and progress clearly, and that task remains unfulfilled until the common man living even in far-flung areas of the country become a partner and a receiver of that progress. The fruit of development should reach the lowly of the lowliest and the poorest of the poor. She has also stressed the need of developing the standard of research. In this connection, if we take a look at Europe and the United States, it becomes clear that those countries have achieved progress by attaching greater importance to the research sector. It is one of the reasons behind the brain drain from our country while other countries are befitting. To improve the standard of our research, we would have to utilize the skills and brains of these people, and become a developed country.On the whole, the presidential address does not only set the line of action for the government, but is also a message to all sectors of human endeavors and all fields of national development. There is need to understand the message and act upon it by every citizen.
