【Guwahati】Highlighting the growing youth population of the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the 19th January said that India can supply manpower for running the industries across the globe.

○Poor labourers paying price for India's cheap car boom
【Faridabad】In a dingy factory in the sprawling industrial hub of Manesar in northern India, a plastic moulding machine malfunctioned, mangling Visheshwar Prasad Singh's right hand as he made parts for a supplier to the country's major automakers.
"I had no training to use the machine and was asked to operate it one day," said the 51-year-old, who made parts for Ranee Polymers, supplying to Honda Motor Co and Yamaha Motor Co. Doctors reattached his hand, but after 14 months and three operations it remains near-paralysed.
Singh was one of thousands of poor labourers, many temporary, who toil for 12 hours a day making auto parts for as little as $3-a-day to feed India's cheap car boom.

While officials of Amroha Nagar Palika are expecting yet more applications, the state government has ordered the selection process to be put on hold as organizations representing sweepers have protested, demanding the posts be reserved only for the valmiki community.
