ndia has been posting high growth figures on one hand, while on the other; it is recording an increase in unemployment rate. The growth of the country is not being able to absorb the growing labour force. In this paper, we develop a two-sector macroeconomic model that serves us two purposes.

Finally it charts out a sustainable development strategy for the country.
