If government jobs are the best-paying and best-regulated jobs in the country, doesn’t it make sense to have more of them? Goa’s governor saw a salary rise from Rs 13.20 lakh per annum in 2015-16, to Rs 28.2 lakh in 2017-18, i.e. Along with this were discretionary grants of Rs 20 lakh, up from Rs 5.45 lakh in 2014-15, i.e. Two lakh jobs paying what salaries? Employment conditions in the private sector are so poor and unregulated for most employees that many prefer contract jobs in the government, hoping to one day become permanent.
