Government of India, through a press release dated 24 July 2025, has reported a significant increase in employment generation across multiple sectors, driven by targeted schemes, infrastructure investments, and formalization efforts.

The announcement, made by the Ministry of Labour and Employment, underscores the administration’s continued focus on improving employability and expanding job opportunities, particularly in rural and semi-urban regions.

The data reflects a multi-pronged strategy that includes fiscal stimulus, skill development, entrepreneurship support, and infrastructure-led growth.

These efforts are aligned with the broader goals of Aatmanirbhar Bharat and inclusive economic development.

Key Indicators of Employment Generation: Formalization and Workforce Expansion

According to the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) payroll data, the net addition of EPF subscribers—a proxy for formal job creation—has steadily increased:

  • 2020–21: 77.08 lakh
  • 2021–22: 1.22 crore
  • 2022–23: 1.38 crore

This upward trend signals a growing formal workforce and improved access to social security benefits.

The Worker Population Ratio (WPR), as per the Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS), rose from 47.3% in 2018–19 to 56.0% in 2022–23, indicating broader employment coverage.

Flagship Schemes Driving Employment

The government has implemented several schemes to boost employment generation:

  • Aatmanirbhar Bharat Rojgar Yojana (ABRY): Launched in October 2020 to incentivize employers for new job creation and restoration of jobs lost during the pandemic. As of January 2024, 60.49 lakh beneficiaries have received support.
  • Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY): Offers collateral-free loans up to ₹10 lakh to micro and small enterprises. Over 46 crore loans have been sanctioned as of January 2024.
  • PM Vishwakarma Scheme: Supports artisans and craftspeople with skill upgrades, toolkits, and credit access.
  • PM GatiShakti and PLI Schemes: Infrastructure and production-linked incentives are expected to create 60 lakh new jobs over five years.

Infrastructure and Public Investment as Catalysts

The Union Budget 2023–24 increased capital investment outlay by 33% to ₹10 lakh crore, representing 3.3% of GDP.

This investment is central to job creation in sectors such as:

  • Roads and railways
  • Urban transport and logistics
  • Renewable energy and smart cities

These projects have a high employment multiplier effect, generating jobs in construction, manufacturing, and services.

Institutional Hiring and Rozgar Melas

The government has accelerated hiring through Rozgar Melas, inducting candidates into Central Ministries, Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), and autonomous bodies.

UPSC, SSC, and RRB recommended 1.61 lakh candidates in 2022–23, and an additional 1.03 lakh in the first quarter of 2023–24.

Skill Development and Entrepreneurship

To enhance employability, the government continues to invest in:

  • National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS): Offers stipend reimbursement to employers for training apprentices.
  • Rural Self Employment and Training Institutes (RSETIs): Provides entrepreneurship training to youth aged 18–45.
  • Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY): Targets rural youth for skill-based employment.

These initiatives aim to bridge the gap between education and industry requirements, especially in underserved regions.
