# 2030 तक भारत से बेरोजगारी खत्म होने का दावा: सच्चाई

यह दावा पूरी तरह सच नहीं है। सरकार ने AI, मैन्युफैक्चरिंग, स्किल इंडिया और मेक इन इंडिया जैसी योजनाओं से रोजगार बढ़ाने का लक्ष्य रखा है, लेकिन बढ़ती जनसंख्या, ऑटोमेशन और स्किल गैप जैसी चुनौतियां बनी हुई हैं। विशेषज्ञ मानते हैं कि बेरोजगारी कम हो सकती है, पर पूरी तरह खत्म होना संभव नहीं।
