Detailed Solution

The factors responsible for unemployment are rapid growth of the population, over-dependence on Agriculture and slow pace of infrastructural growth.
1)      The rapid growth of population: our population has been continuously rising. Although the population increased from 361 million in 1951 to 1027 million in 2001, work possibilities did not grow at the same rate.
2)      Overdependence on agriculture: More than 60% of our population still relies on the primary sector for a living, even after more than 50 years of independence.
3)      Underdevelopment of cottage and small-scale industry: Seasonal and covert unemployment issues in our rural sector. This is a result of the cottage and small-scale industries' underdevelopment.
4)      Underdeveloped industries: The industrialisation process is slow due to lacking capital and other necessary inputs. Because of this, the industrial sector has been unable to create enough jobs for unemployed workers.
