When industrialization takes place in the agri-sector, tractors, ploughers, seeders, harvesters replace farm labor and there is large scale unemployment. When computerization takes place in urban organizations, there is job loss for so many workers; no need of typists, stenos, clerks,peons and other office staff. Now, both have taken place and at this point there is going to be very very large scale unemployment. Government is compelled to make welfare schemes for meeting the basic requirements of the people.....water,food,electricity,housing etc etc.And schemes like NREGA did not help as the number of people is too many. And providing ID cards(based on bio-metrics) to individuals for availing government schemes was dropped half way. The quality of life of the majority of the people is very very poor. This kind of condition cannot last very long. There will be reduction of population..due to..malnutrition, lack of hygienic conditions etc. People may revolt against the government which does not work. Because of rising inequalities, conflicts will emerge as class conflicts or one group against the other or as laborers against the overlords or industrialists. Until this conflict is resolved, there will be postponement or delay in improvement of educational infrastructure(schools and colleges) and health facilities(hospitals and health care centers) Among the most urgent issues are the needs of the people---employment. Can government provide it or can it give unemployment benefits for its people? No. Future of government is shaky....
