Opinion | Modi 3.0: Time for a Cultural and Agricultural Revolution to Create Jobs

    Share on

Artificial intelligence is already changing the job scenario in the services sector. The largest job engine for engineers in the IT sector has delinked top-line growth from new jobs. The agriculture sector is severely impacted by climate change, loss of soil productivity, and water crisis, leading to low margins for farmers. Low margins mean it no longer supports the same number of people on the farm. The combination of climate crisis changing the biosphere and AI changing the work sphere is a meta-crisis.

Policymakers must acknowledge the new paradigm of a meta-crisis. When the job engine faces headwinds, they cannot be addressed by just tweaking existing policies. New thinking is needed to address the impact of this change. The last 12 months have been the hottest in the last 100 years, impacting agricultural production and incomes. The policy has yet to respond to this change.
