The demand for jobs under the rural jobs scheme is anticipated to witness a decline of 27% in the financial year 2025, as per recent reports. This decrease suggests a potential slowdown in the employment generation opportunities in rural areas. The rural jobs scheme was introduced to provide employment opportunities to those in need in the rural sector. The decline in demand may indicate a possible improvement in rural livelihoods or a reduction in the urgency for job creation. However, it is crucial to closely monitor the situation to understand the underlying factors contributing to this decline.
