Lesson
8.12 Job Creation and Its Management

FACTS “Good Management is the art of making problems so
to Understand interesting and their solutions so constructive that
everyone wants to get to work and deal with them.”
- Paul Hawken

The creation means identifying new areas of business and creating job opportunities.
To do any job one should develop knowledge and skills. Once a job is created, one
should not need to depend only on the government for employment. Self-employment
can create many opportunities to groom in one’s life.
Read the news-story published in a newspaper explaining how the situation of Jyamire
changed after the creation of employment.

Five years ago Jyamire was a very backward village. There were no good
transportation, facilities of electricity, communication was poor and
drinking water facility was not available. There were no market facilities
nearby the area. There were some tea shops and merely two or three grocery
stores in the village. In every afternoon local youths of nearby villages used to
get together there for having snacks and tea. The shopkeepers also managed
carrom-board and ludo so that the youths could have entertainment. After
sometime, it turned into a kind of gambling. Not only the unemployed youths
but also some farmers and job holders used to gather there during their free
time and involve in drinking alcohol and gambling. The shopkeepers were
busy to sell their products and happy to gain more profit. The situation
of Jyamire was getting worse but no one was aware about it. The poverty
rate was increasing which resulted in beginnings chaos, quarrel, theft,
robbery, kidnapping, insecurity and dispute in the society. No one in the
neighbours had peace of mind. Some educated youths of the village decided
to do something to change the situation. They started searching employment
but due to the lack of technical knowledge and vocational education they
didn’t get jobs. They thought to do their own business but it required money
to start own business. The local cooperative society gave them soft loan.
Then the youths involved themselves in skill oriented training operated by
the local government.

After the completion of skill-oriented training, educated youths became
skillful. Some of them started their own business and some of them employed
in government offices and some were engaged in private companies too. In
this way, they got employed. Jyamire has been transformed into a small
town in place of village. The educated youths made other unemployed youths
to adopt skill through training and knowledge. They also realized their
past mistakes and committed themselves to involve in any job. Then they
started various income generating activities like dairy farming, vegetable
