It is a good luck that Sixth Five Year Plan (1980-85) has given due consideration to provide these facilities under the scheme of self-employment. Similar steps have been proposed in Eighth Five Year Plan.

Re-orientation of Education System: As regards the problem of educated unemployment in urban areas, India should reconstruct and overhaul the education system according to the changing environment of the country. There must be vocationalisation of education. Proper education should be imparted to the younger men who will be in position to start certain cottage and small scale industries of their own choice especially at village level.

Population Control: There is no second opinion to say that population in India is rising at a very high speed. Unless this problem is not checked, the problem of unemployment cannot be solved properly. Efforts should be made to raise the agricultural and industrial production. Therefore, special drive should be made to make the programme of family planning a good success especially in rural and backward regions of the country.

Creating more employment opportunities in the rural areas through intensive farming, greater irrigation facilities, extension of community projects, organiza­tion of co-operative farming, development of village industry and settlement of agricultural labourers on the reclaimed land. Emphasis should also be laid on the development of small-scale and cottage industries to relieve the pressure on land. These not only help in creating employment opportunities but also check the rate of migration.

The present education system needs a thorough overall check to meet the chang­ing pattern of demand not only through re-orientation but also by diversifying the courses in the field of commerce, trade, banking, insurance, technical and managerial personnel so that the adjustments of demand and labour in various occupations become easy. Development of small-scale and village industries can increase the rate of employment. For this, the government should guide the small-scale industries in finance
