Later today, the Union Minister for Railways, Electronics & Information Technology and Information and Broadcasting, Sh. Ashwini Vaishnav, during his interaction with the media, stated that the Prime Minister of India has always emphasised on Act East policy and a very important milestone is being achieved today in Assam with the commencement of construction of this facility. He mentioned that this project was approved by the Union Cabinet on 29th February, 2024.
The programme for development of Semiconductors and Display Manufacturing Ecosystem in India was notified on 21.12.2021 with a total outlay of ₹ 76,000 crore. In June, 2023, the Union Cabinet led by Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi had approved the proposal of Micron for setting up a semiconductor unit in Sanand, Gujarat whose construction is progressing at a rapid pace.
About the semiconductor unit
The Union Minister mentioned that this unit will be set up with an investment of ₹ 27 thousand crores and is expected to generate 15 thousand direct and 11-13 thousand indirect jobs. While highlighting the importance of the Semiconductor industry as being a foundational one, he said that employment opportunities in various upstream and downstream industries will be created.
The proposed capacity of this unit is 4.83 crore semiconductor chips per day. He also pointed out that this unit will be the site for development of indigenous advanced semiconductor packaging technologies including Wire Bond, flip chip and I-SIP (integrated system in package) technologies and all these three major technologies which will be deployed in this plant are being developed in India.

Intel Announces Plans to Reduce Workforce by 15000 job Cut
In an internal memo shared with Intel employees, CEO Pat Gelsinger unveiled plans to reduce the tech giant’s workforce by more than 15%, equating to around 15,000 positions, as part of a comprehensive cost-cutting strategy. Gelsinger cited the need to align the company’s cost structure with its new operating model and address underwhelming financial results and outlook.
The company aims to achieve $10 billion in cost savings by 2025, with the majority of the workforce reductions expected to be finalized by the year’s end. Gelsinger acknowledged the challenging nature of these decisions, emphasizing the company’s commitment to maintaining a culture of honesty, transparency, and respect throughout the process.
Gelsinger outlined the rationale behind the drastic measures, highlighting the disparity between the company’s revenue growth and workforce expansion as unsustainable. Additionally, he emphasized the imperative to streamline operations, automate and simplify processes, eliminate bureaucracy, and expedite workflows as identified in the Employee Experience Survey.
The CEO identified key priorities integral to Intel’s transformation, including driving operational and cost efficiencies, simplifying the company’s portfolio, reducing complexity, optimizing capital and other costs, suspending the stock dividend to focus on sustained profitability, and maintaining growth investments.
Despite acknowledging the tough road ahead, Gelsinger emphasized the necessity of these changes to pave the way for a new era of growth and innovation at Intel. He reaffirmed the company’s commitment to its IDM 2.0 strategy, focusing on process technology leadership, expanding manufacturing capacity, becoming a leading-edge foundry, and delivering AI Everywhere.
Gelsinger concluded by emphasizing Intel’s crucial role in powering the world’s increasing reliance on silicon, highlighting the significance of the company’s endeavors in remaking itself and contributing to shaping technology and manufacturing capabilities for the future.
The announcement precedes a scheduled All Company Meeting where employees are encouraged to engage in open and honest discussions about the company’s future trajectory.
In light of these developments, Intel also intends to introduce a companywide enhanced retirement offering for eligible employees and an application program for voluntary departures in the coming week.
Intel’s leadership remains committed to steering the company through the transformative changes ahead, driven by the ambition to serve customers and propel the business forward for years to come.
With the global labour market amidst a ‘disruption,’ and constantly being reshaped by the fourth industrial revolution, the Economic Survey 2023-24 tabled in Parliament by Union Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman, recognizes that India would also not remain immune to the transformation caused by it.
REQUIREMENT OF JOB CREATION UNTIL 2036
The Economic Survey 2023-24 notes that Indian economy needs to generate an average of nearly 78.5 lakh jobs annually until 2030 in the non-farm sector to cater to the rising workforce.
Annual requirement for non-farm job creation during 2024-2036
The Survey mentions that there is a scope to supplement the existing schemes of Production Linked Incentive (PLI) (60 lakh employment generation over 5 years), MITRA Textile scheme (20 lakh employment generation), MUDRA, etc., while boosting their implementation.
AI: THE BIGGEST DISRUPTOR
While attributing the biggest disruption in the future of work to the accelerated growth in AI, the Economic Survey 2023-24 says that India, with its vast demographic dividend and a very young population, is uniquely situated as AI poses both risk and opportunity. A particular risk is the BPO sector, where GenAI is revolutionising the performance of routine cognitive tasks through chatbots, and employment in the sector is estimated to decline considerably in the next ten years.
In the following decade, however, gradual diffusion of AI is expected to augment productivity.
But given the affinity of India’s population to work with technology, as seen with the digital public infrastructure, proactive interventions by the Government and industry can position India as a key player in the AI age, the Economic Survey notes.
MAKING THE MOST OF AI IN INDIA
Highlighting the need for research and development in this sector, the Economic Survey 2023-24 mentions a policy brief which suggests a need for an Inter-Agency Coordination Authority for AI which would act as a central institution guiding the research, decision-making, policy planning on AI and job creation.
The Government has launched several initiatives to ensure an AI enabled ecosystem and to connect AI to the youth of the country. Some of these include ‘Future Skills Prime’, ‘YUVAi: Youth for Unnati and Vikas with AI’ a national programme for school students and ‘Responsible
AI for Youth 2022’. A budget of ₹10,300 crore has been provided in 2024 for the India AI Mission, a significant move to strengthen the AI ecosystem.
A SHIFT TOWARDS GIG ECONOMY
According to NITI Aayog’s indicative estimates based on national labour force survey data, in 2020–21, 77 lakh (7.7 million) workers were engaged in the gig economy and as per the Economic Survey 2023-24, the gig workforce is expected to expand to 2.35 crore (23.5 million) and form 6.7 per cent per cent of the non-agricultural workforce or 4.1 per cent of the total livelihood in India by 2029–30.
The Survey mentions that the significant contribution in the Indian context and globally has been the creation of effective social security initiatives for gig and platform workers. The Code on Social Security (2020) marks a significant advancement by expanding the scope of social security benefits to encompass gig and platform workers.
CLIMATE CHANGE AND GREEN ENERGY TRANSITION
Recognizing the climate change as a hard reality of the present times and projections pointing towards an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, the Survey mentions its concomitant outcome as the possible lossof jobs and productivity.
Another aspect of climate change is the efforts to mitigate its impact by adopting green technologies and transitioning to greener energy alternatives. This trend is leading to businesses witnessing a strong job-creation effect driven by investments that facilitate the green transition of businesses and the application of ESG standards.
INDIA’S CORPORATE SECTOR ON RISE
The Economic Survey says that India’s corporate sector’s profitability is at a 15-year high in FY24 with profits quadrupling between FY20 and FY23.
It mentions that businesses have an obligation to themselves to strike the right balance between deployment of capital and deployment of labour. In their fascination for AI and fear of erosion of competitiveness, businesses have to bear in mind their responsibility for employment generation and the consequent impact on social stability.
AGRO-PROCESSING AND CARE ECONOMY FOR QUALITY EMPLOYMENT
The Economic Survey 2023-24 says that India can utilise the range of products on offer by its different agro-climatic zones and productively engage the sizeable rural workforce, comprising women who seek remunerative part-time employment and educated youth who can be technically skilled to handle small to medium scale agro-processing units.
There remains ample scope for shifting MGNREGS labour to more productive and less fiscally straining ventures. Low value-addition in agriculture and rising demand for diverse and local food products also provides a good opportunity for India to create more jobs in this sector. There are also more avenues for captive demand of agro-processed output and the sector can benefit from the synergies between the multiple existing programmes such as Mega Food Park, Skill India, Mudra, one district-one product, etc., for labour, logistics, credit, and marketing.
The care economy holds great importance for a young country like India, which has both demographic and gender dividends to reap. Highlighting the need to prepare for future care requirements of an ageing population, the Economic Survey 2023-24 says that defining care work is the first step towards acknowledging care as ‘work’.
It mentions that India’s care needs are slated to expand significantly in the next 25 years, as an ageing population follows the ongoing demographic transition while the population of children stays relatively sizeable. By 2050, the share of children is estimated to decline to 18 per cent (i.e., 30 crore persons), while the proportion of elderly persons would rise to 20.8 per cent (i.e., 34.7 crore persons). Thus, compared to 50.7 crore persons in 2022, the country would need to care for 64.7 crore persons in 2050.
Recognising the disproportionate burden of care on women being consequential to the low Female Labour Force Participation Rate (FLFPR) across the world, including India, the Survey also lays emphasis on ensuring equal opportunity for females by decoupling gender and unpaid care work.
The economic value of developing a care sector is twofold – increasing FLFPR and promoting a promising sector for output and job creation. The Survey mentions that in case of India, direct public investment equivalent to 2 per cent of GDP has the potential to generate 11 million jobs, nearly 70 per cent of which will go to women.
Senior care reforms in India
The care responsibility associated with an increasingly older population necessitates formulating a future-ready wholesome elderly care policy with the Survey mentioning the care economy as a top-tier entry in India’s to-do list for becoming a developed nation by 2047.According to the Asian Development Bank report, utilising this ‘silver dividend’ of untapped work capacity of population aged 60-69 years is estimated to increase GDP by an average of 1.5 per cent for Asian economies.

TCS Hiring : The country’s leading IT company Tata Consultancy Service (TCS) will appoint 40,000 freshers. This hiring will be campus based. This means that the company will do campus selection.
