‘We Need Jobs’: Twitterati Marks PM Modi’s Birthday As ‘National Unemployment Day’, Here’s Why
The trend which has now gone viral is seen as a mark of protest against the high unemployment rates in the country and to highlight the Prime Minister's failure to create jobs and provide employment.
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is celebrating his 70th birthday on Thursday and wishes are pouring in from all quarters. While many on Twitter are hailing the PM for his initiatives for the nation, a section of Twitterati has marked September 17 as National Unemployment Day or or ‘Rashtriya Berojgar Divas’.
The trend which has now gone viral, is seen as a mark of protest against the high unemployment rates in the country and to highlight the Prime Minister’s failure to create jobs and provide employment.
This week is also being celebrated as a Rashtriya Berojgar Saptahand it will culminate today.
According to the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy, the urban unemployment rate in urban India in the week ending 6 September 2020 was at 8.32 per cent. A Mint report also says that rural unemployment has also increased and reached 7.65 per cent in August compared to 6.66 per cent recorded in July.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi hit out at the Centre over the growing rate of unemployment in India amid the economic crisis and tweeted, “Massive unemployment has forced the youth to call today #NationalUnemploymentDay. Employment is dignity. For how long will the Govt deny it?”
यही कारण है कि देश का युवा आज #राष्ट्रीय_बेरोजगारी_दिवस मनाने पर मजबूर है।
रोज़गार सम्मान है।
सरकार कब तक ये सम्मान देने से पीछे हटेगी?Massive unemployment has forced the youth to call today #NationalUnemploymentDay.
Employment is dignity.
For how long will the Govt deny it? pic.twitter.com/FC2mQAW3oJ— Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) September 17, 2020
Further, using the hashtag, many slammed the government on the high unemployment rate and are asking the government to increase job opportunities for the youth. Many have raised the issue of delay in exam results of SSC and urging the government to make reforms for students.
They also want a complete overhaul in the recruitment process for the betterment of lakhs of aspirants.

Dear PM,* Focus on Growing economy rather than growing your beard.
* Focus on Job ki baat. We are not interested in your 'Man ki baat'.

Sometimes, you have resources but you don't know how to use them.
Same is with Modiji. He should focus on enrichment of Students with skill and employment, he is focusing of religion based petty politics. #HappyBdayNaMo pic.twitter.com/JgMd8YnwJ6
