The recent notifications regarding vacancies for street cleaning/peon/porter jobs in Uttar Pradesh (UP) evoked tremendous response reflecting on the prevailing unemployment situation in the country. It is a serious matter when applicants for such menial jobs are doctoral degree holders, engineers, lawyers, MBAs and postgraduates and graduates. For instance, MBA/B Tech/doctoral degree holders were among 17,000 candidates who applied for 114 posts of sweeper in Amroha Municipal Corporation in 2015. In September 2016, for 368 posts of peon in UP Secretariat, among 23 lakh candidates 150,000 were graduates, 24,969 were postgraduates and 255 were doctorates.
