Skilled Manpower Shortage in India

Hi Friends, here I am sharing my views regarding "SHORTAGE OF SKILLED MANPOWER IN INDIA".

I agree that India is in short of skilled manpower but not manpower. There may be many reasons for this our educational system, government policies, lack of technical and financial support and last but not the least we ourselves.

Our Educational system is completely theoretical and outdated i.e., of no practical knowledge. All of us know the well-known saying that "Today's Child is Tomorrow's Citizen", but Today's child has no creative mind to become an architect of his life. So how would he be a responsible citizen tomorrow?It is not the child's mistake alone but ours' impractical systematic studies in our country. What is the use of gaining many degrees without any practical knowledge or any research?

So without the basic and fundamental step how could we expect for brightening future. No innovative projects are being undertaken by universities to boost up the skill of students. As a student if one gets involved in technical and non-technical workshops, interactive programs and ongoing projects, it would be a wonderful practical gain. If everyone of us utilize our time in a full-fledged way to learn something that really improves our skills, we become productive manpower.

Apart from it, government should provide support to it's citizens in every possible way to make every Indian productive.

Hi All,

It is a harsh reality that we Indians lack in skilled manpower and what we have is not enough and not being utilized properly. Probably now it is time to change our study patterns and develop them in a more constructive manner. Our Government of India should now start a crusade (Set of rules/laws to be followed strictly) from 3rd or 4th grade and beyond where we get to know our hobbies or our likings towards something constructive (sports, dancing, singing, liking towards pets plants, pets, carpentry etc. ).

Equal importance should be given to the vocational activities, because we as humans tend to develop a difference between our likings and dislikings from our early age. Definitely our interests change as we grow but we will have a lot of options to decide from the practical exposure. We never forget our projects, experiments and maths problems, do we? This is because these are the kinds of practical knowledge in which indulged our minds more and more until we have solution.

Just try to remember a small experiment where we distilled water from impurities by using tubes, water, heat and finally vapour. Can you ever for get it? You might forget the names of the chemical reactions but you would never forget how distillation process works. Our single practical experiment has a vital impact on our mind due to which our understanding grows to the wider perspective of how things work.

Today the need is not just to be educated but how skillful you are? It is like our education system makes us educated but not qualified. To qualify we should have specialized skills.

I hope my thoughts are reachable to the right personnels as it will help our education standard and society to grow more. I have a lot of thought that keep popping in my mind but do not have the right people to share with.

Please give your comments if you like or dislike my thought as this might bring out a lot of change that can help us to make our nation grow strong. It is only this time to find out solutions to our problems instead of just discussing and cursing our government for our present situation.

ITS NOW OR NEVER!

I agree with the statement "Skilled manpower shortage in India". Because of our education system, lack of financial support and migration of skilled people in India.

Education system: Our education system gives more importance for theoretical knowledge than practical knowledge. In previous days exam means an assessment through which the lecturer can understand the ability of a student. But, nowadays exam means a competition. So, students are trying to get more marks than learning subject.

Financial support: There are many students in India who have the ability to study. But, they are unable to continue their education because of lack of financial support.

Migration: There are some skilled people in India. Some of those are migrating to other countries because of lack of opportunities in their country.

So, the should give financial support to the people. Addition to that, the government should provide a good platform for young people to prove themselves.

THANK YOU.

As India is developing country it is not the issue. We have best skilled manpower in the world when compare with the other country which are developed. The problem is that our expectations are more as compare to any other thing as a example if a person is skilled in something but the expectations of his are not satisfied he will go to other country to get more wages.

"BILL GATES '' also said that if we stop employing engineers from India. There will be another MICROSOFT born in India.

Hello Friends,

From my point of about "skilled manpower shortage in India" is that India has got skilled manpower but after people doing graduation they fly to developed country like USA, UK because here in India there is less money being paid as compared to other developed country like USA when they go to other country they do settle there. NASA has got 30% of people are from India, Microsoft has got 20% people are from India, in every sector you will see Indian are working in whole word because of their skills. India has got such skills that they can do any work depend upon the demand.

In India, graduate student who wants to do research on some specific topic they think that they will not able proceed research here because of lack of proper education system, lack of infrastructure, lack of good mentor so, they have go to the other developed country like USA.

In India, our education system have following drawbacks:

1. Lack of infrastructure.

2. Lack of good teacher in government school.

3. In our education system we concentrate more on theoretical knowledge, and we ignore practical knowledge.

- When you will go in any industries you will see that only 20% of theoretical knowledge are implemented so, I think we should concentrate more on practical knowledge.

4. Lack of proper guidance.

5. Government ignorance.

As we know India has population of 1.26 billion and second largest populated country in the world after china. So, India has got lot of manpower but they are less skilled. In India, labour is very cheap many foreign company Walmart, Apple, Microsoft, Google, BMW, Audi are investing in India because they got there job done in.

Less cost and they pay less amount to India because here employment is less there is competition among people so, they are ready to work even at less salary.

- Government should open new research centre, concentrate on industries, improve education system, good infrastructure, pay more to employee so, they will not leaves our motherland.

Thank you.

My opinion is that the country is stuck with reserved talents then how could it get deserved talents?.

Yes, unfortunately, it's the truth that India lacks skilled manpower. Not only me but the survey conducted by reputed authorities also say the same. Now coming to d cause, we must accept that it's not students but it's d education system who is creating this problem. Our education is 80% theoretical and 20% practical based. No one wants to mug up the notes but they are forced to do so because marks obtained in theory exam is the criteria for evaluation of knowledge in India. Encouragement to improve your skill lacks here, almost 85% students collect n mug up d theoretical notes without any prior knowledge of its actual implementation. Last but not d least if we are talking about the people working in abroad then we should not avoid d fact that 90% of them are from IIT's & IIM's where skill development is the priority this indeed shows the need of skilled based education in other institutes also. And now govt has also started skill-based education platforms this indeed clears that there is a shortage of skilled manpower so they are working on it.

Hi friends.

Yes I too think that there is a shortage of skilled manpower in India. I agree with this. The way of teaching here is only based on theoretical, without doing practically we can't understand anything. For e.g a person who got 1st rank in undergraduate and after some days if you ask him/her anything generally related to their studies, they can't able to explain it, they might forget those thing (due to lack of experimental studies).

Institutions also having the goal to get good rank, so they concentrate in theoretical studies and also they will boost up their mark, etc. Apart from this peoples are there, who is very talented, high skilled person they are like to go to spread their skills in luxurious country. We can't blame them, because when any innovative idea or anything given by person, we won't accept it, will see the cost or possibilities, etc. So they prefer to move into acceptable country.

The main thing is our Indians are having good grasping power and too we are good hard workers. So this is the reason we are grantly invited by developed countries. And so we are influenced by their facilities and leapt into their country.

Hi friends.

I am Sachin Sehwag.

I am of the strong opinion that the shortage of skilled manpower in India is due to that most of the students are not practical in India. the main aim of student is to get good marks in exam for admission in good college. india can achieve skilled manpower by making the students practical. and it is the responsibility of government to take a look at education system. skilled manpower can be achieved by making good educational facalty.there is a lot of manpower in india but we have to make it skilled manpower by improving education system

India is having the best talent in the world as we know indians has established milestones in abroad. But the Q. Is why not in India? The one possible answer could be lack of opportunities, second could be less money or third could be lack of appreciation and so on. But if know the answer then why we are not providing these things to the Indian talent. So another thing comes out planning system or poor.

So we will have to work out on these factor and then we will be able to conclude that INDIA is having the best and skilled manpower for India.
