Government is now open with some schemes to run the government in a much more efficient manner. The youth should grab such opportunities, come forward, and be a part of government so as they could make some better innovations than before.
The government are providing numerous employment opportunities through implementation of various major projects like, NREGA and many such projects. Other than these facilities, the government is also providing financial held to the industrial sectors (group and individual both) to grow their business and open employment opportunities for the youth. Due to this system of employment and self-employment is visible. Ashok Singh, Congress General Secretary of Maharashtra state in an interview mentioned some more points and gave a fair idea on what Congress is planning further.

Q. Previously, you were with Rashtriya Janata Dal. What made you leave RJD and join Congress party?
A: The strategy and working pattern of Laluji, inspired me so, I joined RJD. Nevertheless, at the same time, there was a thought in mind regarding Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. Reason for their remembrance is that, both belong to family of Late. Rajiv Gandhi Rajiv Gandhi was the youngest Prime Minister of our country. He gave hilarious heights of success to our country. His ideology and strategy are still in existence and used by Rahul Gandhi. Rahul is following his father’s footsteps. His father was the youngest individual to lead India and took it to the peak of success. He was a live example that a youth can do anything, we just need to put some efforts. Now his son, Rahul Gandhi is following the footprints that Rajiv had left behind. He is keener to provide chance to youth to emerge with Congress and bring success in our country, bring changes in Indian society.

Q. You are indulged in Business also. Being connected with the Commercial activities, how you manage to spare your time for political activities?
A: First, I became a son, then a husband. I think I have played well in terms of responsibilities. Till now, I was serving for my family, now I want to understand my responsibilities towards my country and serve for my country. Politics is the only way through which I can understand the needs of my people and serve them undue. Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi are my ideals.

Q. Right now, you are involved in Construction Business. You are also providing employment opportunities to the people through your construction business.
A: This is a good question. In my construction business, I have over 500 employees working with me including labours, technicians and other people. Employment is provided in one or the other way and in one or another section. We assign labours to bring cement, mud sacks, water, plumber and many more. In this way, we are responsible for the daily bread and butter of many families. We are planning to expand our business with a good turnover so that we could employ more people.

Q. Is your Construction working for government also?
A: Of course, yes. Recently, we have constructed a guesthouse in Bangalore. This is an example that we are spreading our business to the corners also. This is definitely done with the help of government.

Q. Being a General Secretary of State’s Employment and Self-employment department, what kind of facilities are made available for people.
A: I motivate all the educated people to move towards self-employment by providing them suitable opportunities. Providing them help, when in need, gives me immense pleasure. We help them get all those facilities that are provided to them by the governmental authorities. Moreover, if we come with the opportunities where we have different class and standard of working and need people as per the working standards we inform the people about such opportunity and help them grab these standardized opportunities. We have achieved success in such tasks.

Q. In terms of serving to people through, what will be your next step and why?
A: As of now, there are many more issues pending here. Firstly, my committee and I will meet those needs and then we will think on how to proceed further. If party gives me any chance to serve for the people, I will definitely use that opportunity and will serve at my best. One thing that I would like to say is politics does not have any limits in rise and fall. IF you perform your work truly and honestly, then your work is noticed by your superiors and is even praised. Only thing you need is patience. We want to serve the society, not politics. I think an individual who understands human vision, he can fulfil his duties and responsibilities.
