CJI Surya Kant Raises Concerns About Academic Qualifications of Graduates in Black Robes
In a recent statement, Chief Justice of India (CJI) expressed concern over the challenges faced by youth in securing stable employment. He remarked that many young individuals feel marginalized in the professional landscape, likening their situation to that of cockroaches—ubiquitous yet overlooked. The CJI highlighted that while some young people engage in media, social media, and various forms of activism, they often resort to criticism of established institutions and authorities as a means of expressing their discontent.
This aligns with broader discussions regarding youth unemployment and the difficulties faced by young people in entering the job market, particularly in a rapidly changing economy. As of October 2023, the unemployment rate among youth remains a pressing issue, with many advocating for systemic reforms to enhance job opportunities and vocational training. The CJIs comments underscore the importance of addressing these challenges to foster a more inclusive and supportive environment for the younger generation.
