India’s employment landscape has seen notable growth, with the addition of 4.67 crore jobs in FY24, according to data from the Reserve Bank of India’s India KLEMS report. This increase marks a significant rise from the previous fiscal year, indicating positive trends in job creation despite challenges posed by varying estimates of unemployment rates from private surveys.
With employment growing by 6 percent in FY24, up from 3.2 percent in FY23 according to RBI data, there is optimism regarding the creation of 80 lakh to 90 lakh new jobs with a 7 percent growth rate, significantly contributing to India’s ongoing employment needs estimated at 1.1 crore to 1.2 crore jobs.
This recruitment drive by India Post not only offers substantial employment opportunities but also underscores the postal department’s role in providing essential services and contributing to economic growth across the country.
