20 Million Jobs Project

18 million people turn 18 each year in India and we have over a 100 million people surplus in agriculture. Unless we create 20 million new jobs each year, India’s dream of a demographic dividend could easily turn into a nightmare!

We at Takshashila Institution are working on a project to develop and evaluate ideas for an ecosystem that can generate 20 million jobs annually in India.
