Short Summary: India, with its massive population of over 1.4 billion (143 crore), has a much smaller group of people who actively spend on non-essential goods and services, according to a report by Blume Ventures. The venture capital firm's report said that only about 130-140 million (13-14 crore) Indians form the country's "consuming class," meaning they have enough disposable income to buy beyond basic needs.
It's called jobless growth. Look it up.

Only service growth can be of low employment growth and not manufacturing, agriculture and infrastructure. Our government is pushing infrastructure growth like anything. We build 37 k.m. High way everyday. Construction activities are happening at a very rapid rate. 10 crore people are given loan for self employment. Employment is generated at a very rapid pace. A BIMARU state like UP which had unemployment rate in double digit has an unemployment rate of 3% today. Things are moving in right direction at a very rapid pace.

Just pure Godi media propaganda about employment figures which is doubted even by independent Indian sources,

Claims have been made that the Modi government has manipulated unemployment figures, with critics arguing that the actual job creation has not met expectations. Surveys indicate a significant portion of the population believes the unemployment situation is serious, contrasting with government assertions of job growth.

Your wishful thinking is not a reality. Our EPF (employee provident fund) Accounts have doubled in last 11 years. We have very good agencies which generates very reliable DATA. We do not need certification from you. For you, a random video on India is more reliable than IMF report/DATA. So your wishful believing has only one use. That is to entertain you. It does not serve any other purpose.

Your problem is that you do not read what you post. Bellow Paragraphs are from your posted articles.

According to the central bank’s report, released on 9 July, the overall employment rate rose from 3.2 per cent in 2022-23 to 6 per cent in 2023-24, meaning the country created more than 46.7 million jobs in that time.

In total, the number of employed people increased from 596.7 million in March 2023 to 643.3 million in March 2024. Most of the new jobs, 18.5 million, came from agriculture and allied sectors while 4.8 million appeared in construction, The Times of India reported.

India's incredulous data: Economists create own benchmarks
By Manoj Kumar

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Economists and investors are increasingly showing that they have little or no confidence in India's official economic data – presenting whoever is elected as the next prime minister with an immediate problem.

There have been questions for many years about whether Indian government statistics were telling the full story but two recent controversies over revisions and delays of crucial numbers have taken those concerns to new heights.

The government itself has admitted there are deficiencies in its data collection.

A study conducted by a division of the statistics ministry in the 12 months ending June 2017 found that as much as 36 percent of the companies in the database used in India's GDP calculations could not be traced or were wrongly classified.

Last December, the government held back the release of jobs data but an official report leaked to an Indian newspaper showed the unemployment rate had touched its highest level in 45 years.

Economists and investors are now voting with their feet – by using alternative sources of data and in some cases creating their own benchmarks to measure the Indian economy.

Many economists said they were stunned when the government upwardly revised GDP growth for 2016/17 to 8.2 percent from 6.7 percent.


Even those close to the government have said the lack of accuracy in the official data makes it much more likely that authorities will miss major swings in activity and be unable to react quickly to head off a crisis. It is also a problem for investors who may be misled into thinking the economy is more robust than it really is.

The opposition and other critics have said Modi suppressed jobs data and "massaged" economic growth numbers in an attempt to show that his government has done better than the previous administration.

Some investors have been burned by believing in India's high growth story.

P. C. Mohanan, former acting chairman of the national oversight body for statistics, who resigned to protest government interference over the release of the jobs figures and back series data on GDP, said the government hasn't allocated the resources it needs to measure activity given the growth in the economy.

Gita Gopinath, the International Monetary Fund’s chief economist, told an Indian TV channel last month the IMF had raised the issue of "transparency" with Indian officials in data collection and, in particular, measurement of the GDP deflator - the adjusted inflation rate used to estimate real GDP.

There are two names comes in forefront who disputes Government data. Both were saying very good about economy when they were in Government. They are Arvind Subramanium ex economic advisor of Indian government. Other name is Raguuram arjan ex head RBI. Both were US agents. Both were in highest economic bodies of India. Since when they are kicked out for favoring US, they keep bluffing all the nonsense. In one quarter when India's GDP figures were poor (4.5%, yes, 4.5% is very good for other countries but not India), he told it a Hindu growth rate. When the figure turned out to be 7.8%, he disputed the data.

Now you have talked about IMF economist, Now let me quote IMF reports about India. Let us see whether you are able to agree with it or not. Your cherry picking will expose you otherwise.

India has eliminated hunger poverty say IMF.


Form IMF directly,

Now you can counter these news of Wb and IMF by searching a BS video from you tube which says that India is a backward economy, India has hunger, India is worse than Africa and Somalia etc. We have some very good well-wishers like you who continues to fabricate unrealistic negative news to please people like you. The fact of the matter is that our progress is outstanding. What we have done for our people has no parallel in whole world ever.
