Tripura: Chief Minister of Tripura Biplab Deb has a new advice for the youngsters in the country who are looking for a government job: Start a paan shop or breed cows.
He urged the youngsters to “set up paan shops instead of running after political parties for several years to get government jobs and waste vital time of their life.”
He said if the youngsters had took such a step a bank balance of `5 lakh would have been a reality by now for them.
The Chief Minister urged the youngsters to become self-employed by starting various projects in the animal resource sector, with bank loans under the Prime Minister’s Mudra scheme. Apart from paan shops, “milking cows,” is also another option according to the CM.
“Every household should have a cow. Milk sells at `50 per litre; instead of being jobless for 10 years, if these people sold milk, they would have had a bank balance of `10 lakh by now, the Chief Minister said while speaking at a seminar organised by the Tripura Veterinary Council.
Deb said any unemployed youth, with a minimum of `75, 000 borrowed from the bank and little effort, can easily earn at least `25,000 per month but the hurdle is the “culture that has grown in Tripura during the last 25 years.”
He said “narrow-minded” ideas like graduates cannot opt for farming or start poultry are the reasons behind unemployment.
During a TV interview in January, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had rejected criticism that his government has failed to create jobs. Modi had said that a person selling pakodas is also employed.
Deb April 27 landed in another controversy when he made some adverse remarks against former Miss World Diana Hayden.
The following day he said civil engineers are better suited for civil services as compared to mechanical engineers.
