| Atmanirbhar Bharat, or a self-reliant India, is among the most prominent stated goals of the incumbent government. Of course, the idea is that the country will achieve self-reliance in a whole host of economic activities. An associated idea, pushed forward by the government, has been to convince people that they should not look towards the government for an official job. At the height of the debate around unemployment in 2018, then BJP president Amit Shah had said in his maiden speech in the Rajya Sabha: “It is better for a youth to earn a living selling pakodas instead of being unemployed”. Five years later, data from the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy suggests that Indians are increasingly doing just that — engaging in self-employment. | | | |
