[Assam] (no subject)

People working in Chennai, Hyderabad or Pune are, I suppose, a privileged  
group having the benefit of an English-medium-school education and landing  a 
job in one of the subsidiaries of multinationals. What about those who do  not 
come from well-to-do families, speak poor Hindi or English and unable  to get a 
job either in Government offices or private enterprise. I believe  most 
unemployed belong to this group. 
 
It is also not easy for our young men and women to engage in small trades  
for lack of tradition, training, capital etc. Certains trades need skills at  
various levels, for instance watch repairing, book-binding, jewellery making  
etc. It is almost imposssible for an  Assamese boy coming from the rural  areas 
to acquire any of these skills. it is not so difficult for a Bengali  boy to 
get employment in these areas as some of their friends or relatives are  
already engaged in some such trades.
