Visions of creating five crore employment opportunities by 2007, as draw up by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, would not see the light of day unless substantial hard work is executed on the ground. Mr Vajpayee himself is understood to be anxious on the follow-up being initiated by Central departments, state administrations and other agencies involved in the exercise. To begin with, the country's prevailing mechanism of surveys on employment and unemployment as conducted by the National Sample Survey Organisation once in five years, has been struck down as "flawed." In its place, the Government has asked the Department of Statistics to formulate a blueprint on how surveys on employment, independent of the NSS, could be institutionalised.
