At an event late last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi claimed that the ‘4th Industrial Revolution’ will provide more job opportunities. PM Modi said that India’s diversity, demographic potential, fast-growing market size and digital infrastructure have the potential to make India a global hub for research and implementation. PM Modi exuded confidence that artificial intelligence, machine learning, Internet of Things, blockchain and big data will take the country to “new heights”.
However, PM Modi’s assurance was rejected by Congress which alleged that over one crore jobs were lost in 2018 citing Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE)’s report. The party said that during the 2014 elections campaign, the then Gujarat Chief Minister Modi had promised “Acche Din (good days), which included (providing) two crore jobs every year”.
