New Delhi: Mindful of rising unemployment and poor economic growth, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday emphasised on the need for initiating second generation reforms across all sectors, and directed policy makers and thinkers to put their heads down and work towards strengthening the fiscal scenario.
Experts suggested that rather than spending on opening new hospitals, existing hospitals could be used for creating additional seats for new students, which would help in job creation.
Greater usage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the health sector was suggested along with creation of a health infrastructure fund on the lines of IIFCL, where government and private sector both could contribute monetarily.
This, the experts said, could help in improving wellness centres in tier two and three cities, and lead to more job opportunities. In the education sector, online freelancing was suggested as a stream which could help create jobs in the IT sector, while sectors related to sustainable development were also
identified as potential job creators.
Sustainable development sector could help create “green collar” jobs, education sector experts told the Prime Minister and “teenagers” could be transformed into “greenagers”.
