Well, Sir, some Hon. Members mentioned the problems of the State Governments resources. I must say that in this matter the Government of India is very much aware of the problems of the State Governments. And, besides whatever taxes are shared with the State Governments under the award of the Finance Commission, etc., really speaking, on the basis of their plans, certain central assistance is also given to them. Hon. Members must have noted in my speech that the Central assistance that we propose to give for the next year’s Plan, is higher than what was given last time. Besides this, in the case of certain backward States, large sums are being provided. I do not want to read that particular part of my speech again, because Hon. Members may have read that large sums were provided for certain States whose financial position was rather difficult. And, looking, to their financial problems special provisions were made in addition to what was granted by the Finance Commission. The Hon. Member, Shri Mahavir Tyagi, who was on the Fifth Finance Commission will know that. In addition to that, we have gone to the help of the State Governments in their difficulties and their troubles. Very large sums have been given in particular cases and, apart from that, some provisions are being made for the next year also. Of course, the special grants are made in consultation with the State Governments and they have agreed upon a certain pattern, which will be a sort of tapering pattern, in the remaining years of the Plan. My main point is that it would be wrong and unjust to say that the Central Government is completely indifferent to the problems of the State Governments. It is not so. Naturally the Central Government will have to be in touch with the problems of the, State Governments even in the future. Most of the implementation of the agricultural plans, for example, has to be done through the State Governments. So, the performance of the agricultural plan particularly which has such an impact on the question of, unemployment.

Shri Akbar Ali Khan : Education.

Shri Y. B. Chavan : Education, among other fields but, particularly, unemployment. The whole country is concerned about it, and when I say unemployment I am not merely referring to rural unemployment but also to the question of educated unemployment which is also very, very important. Sir, the present mandate particularly reflects the urge of the young for progressive economic policies and progressive social policies. Really speaking, it is the young who have spearheaded the present mandate in the last election. Therefore, we have to look after them and try to solve their problems. Naturally, that will be our first priority. How we do it, how we manage it, how we make a beginning, is the question.

Even in that field we have to get their cooperation and we look forward to it. In the case of unemployment, I quite agree that Government cannot create all the jobs, but Government certainly can help the process by more investment which will create new forces in economy so that it creates more jobs which can be made use of by the younger generation. That, really speaking, is what we have to do and that is the purpose of enlarging the Plan expenditure and properly utilising the provisions that are already made. One Hon. member, I do not know why he made that charge said that unemployment is not taken note of. It is not so, Sir. We have taken note of it, though, really speaking, it is a Vote on Account for the coming few months.
