Indian PM Modi claims 8 crore jobs created in 3-4 years based on RBI's India-KLEMS database.

Indian PM Modi claims 8 crore jobs created in 3-4 years based on RBI's India-KLEMS database, but the data doesn't measure employment directly; it uses employment data from Periodic Labour Force Surveys (PLFS) and population projections from Economic Survey (ES) and Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW). However, the database does not update or correct older population estimates after 2022. Experts will discuss potential industrial job creation opportunities, policy reforms, and measures to improve employment opportunities and employability at a national workshop for state legislators on employment hosted by PRS Legislative Research.
