Part of it is true, but the way it was said gives a wrong picture.

    youth unemployment rate (15-29), PLFS 2023-24, MoSPI

    pib.gov.in

    The Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS), run by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI), shows the youth unemployment rate for ages 15-29 fell from 17.8% in 2017-18 to 10.0% in 2022-23, and was 10.2% in 2023-24. The Worker Population Ratio for youth rose from 31.4% in 2017-18 to 41.7% in 2023-24. The Press Information Bureau records that paper leaks and malpractices have occurred in various parts of the country, and Parliament passed a law to curb them.

    • The Periodic Labour Force Survey shows the youth unemployment rate for ages 15-29 fell from 17.8% in 2017-18 to 10.0% in 2022-23. [6]
    • The Worker Population Ratio for youth rose from 31.4% in 2017-18 to 41.7% in 2023-24, indicating more young people in employment. [5]

    [5] YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT RATES IN INDIA Lower Than Global Levels — pib.gov.in[6] Decline in Unemployment Rate for Youth Workers and Labourers — pib.gov.in[9] Press Release:Press Information Bureau — pib.gov.in

    The claim that the government made the youth unemployed over ten years is contradicted by official PLFS data, which shows youth unemployment falling and youth employment rising. Paper leaks did occur, but the record does not show the government leaked them. No source supports the allegation that reservations were snatched away or that the government does not want to give government jobs. The claim mixes a true element with unsupported and contradicted assertions, so it is misleading.
