As Narendra Modi government and opposition fight over 'jobs crisis' in India, another surprising news has come from Uttar Pradesh where over 93,000 candidates including Phd holders, post graduates have applied for peon jobs that have an eligibility of Class V.According to a ToI report, 3,700 PHDs holders, 50,000 graduates, 28,000 PGs have applied for 62 posts of messengers in UP police. The post requires a minimum eligibility of Class V.The selection for the job requires just a self declaration that the candidate knows how to ride bicycle. However, considering the large number of over-qualified applicants, the department has now decided to conduct a selection test for the posts that have been lying vacant for last 12 years.According to a official, the department is thinking include basic reasoning, few questions to test general knowledge of the candidates and some basic mathematics to test the basic skills of the candidates in the selection exam. "The job is like that of a postman's and the person has to deliver police telecom department's messages from one office to the other," a police department official told ToI.Besides job surety, 'high starting salary'is one of the reasons why the post has attracted so much attention. The starting salary for the post is Rs 20,000 per month.While one act of job desperation cannot explain the big picture, it certainly can point at the problem of jobs in the country. Recently there were reports that over 2 crore youths applied for nearly 1 lakh jobs in Indian Railways , while over two lakh candidates applied for 1,100 constable jobs in Mumbai Police earlier this year. The candidates include doctors, lawyers and engineers.Similarly, in Rajasthan, 129 engineers, 23 lawyers, one chartered accountant and 393 post graduates were interviewed for jobs of peons.
