Poverty and unemployment are the two most challenging socio- economic issue for India. Poverty and unemployment have their close association with economic growth. Productive employment creation could be considered as the most important weapon to cater the problem of poverty. However, there are two-way causal relationships between unemployment and poverty reduction. People are poor because they are unemployed and vice-versa. Therefore, we needed bi-modal strategy for the reduction of poverty and unemployment. Unfortunately, we are failing continuously to reduce desired poverty and unemployment. Recent experiences indicated that while economic growth is just a necessary condition for poverty reduction because it depends on pattern, source, and strategy of growth and its distribution. Productive employment has a critical role in that context. Some countries of East and South East Asia (ESEA), e.g. the republic of Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand have their successful story of high rates of growth along with higher rates of poverty reduction thanks to productive employment in 1980s and 1990s. Therefore we need such an innovative and indigenous growth pattern, policy, programme, income distribution and will power to reduce poverty and give job to every Indian to sustain and increase their livelihood. This study would be based on secondary data which collected from various authentic sources such as RBI bulletin, CSO, and NSSO.
