India unemployment assumes two phases. The first phase reveals the unemployment among the

educated. Every year the colleges turn out a great number of scholars who have to join the large band of

unemployed. The second phase of the problem reveals the unemployment among the farmers. In most

parts of the country the farmers could utilized only half of the year with the farming. The remaining period
