Today, one of the most daunting realities of the Indian economy is the steadily rising number of unemployed youth. According to an International Labour Organisation report, the number of job-seekers in the country will be as high as 17.6 million by the end of 2017, while another report indicates that we need to create a whopping 100 million jobs by 2022, for a whole new brigade of graduates. On today's episode of Heads Up, we are joined by a very special panel of employment experts to discuss how India can overcome the challenge of unemployment and create more job-ready individuals.
