Former Haryana Minister and MLA from Tosham Kiran Choudhry described the employment situation in Haryana as dreadful and distressing. She expressed disappointment over the fact that as per the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) survey in August, Haryana has the highest rate of unemployment in the country at 35.7 per cent.

Referring to Haryana CM’s refutation of the survey, she stated that the state government has been forever in a denial mode. She pointed out that the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) data on which the government spokesperson has relied had used a sample size of 2,607 persons in 2019-20 whereas CMIE had used a sample size of 5,874 this year.

“The sample size and diligence exercised by the CMIE are rigorous as compared to NSSO. It will be ridiculous to claim that there are no unemployed persons who are non-matriculate in Haryana. There are lakhs of dropouts who are unemployed. Their number is never on the radar of the official dashboard.” — TNS
