As I watch movies when I am interested or free to watch with my friends, when I complete watching movies I will rate movies what the others do, but more than rating I will take some important points from the movies which may be rated as worst by me. That taken important is helpful for me in upcoming days and it is helpful in my day to day life of mine.
I am a practical guy more than theoretical, I believe in perfection and uniqueness for which I need practical as well as theoretical knowledge. Theoretical knowledge is only a base on which practical things has to be done. According to my belief, Uniqueness is a base to get the perfection in work what we do and the level self-belief will play THE major role in to get the perfection in anything.
The self-belief will comparatively reduce your time off work, you will be faster than previous in your work and your work will get THE perfect result.
So it's important to give more preference to the PRACTICAL side than the theoretical, importance on once self-belief, preference to skills more than qualifications and percentages of any individual which I think will reduce the manpower shortage in India to a more than a certain extent.

Hello guys,
Yeah, I accept with you @Arun Kumar, in India, the chances are not given for the talented. Those who have more money and recommendations get the government job easily as compared to the others. In this case, one cannot blame only on reserved people because there are more people who have more talent even though his mark is low. Reservation is government's policy and problem. The problem here starts with the education system. Because they are taught to only score more marks just by memorizing and the concepts are not taught in most of the schools and even in colleges.
And the next thing is even though one scores well in government exams. Their seats are occupied by the people who gives money. And another reason is people are thinking that only if we go abroad like US, Canada. They can lead a happy life. That is a completely wrong aspect,
So coming to the conclusion that if the politics in every field and if there is a change in education system we can show more talented people than any other countries because those who work in NASA 75% are Indians don't they have talent! and google CEO Sundar Pichai is an Indian. As Indians, we must be proud to say this.

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.

My Dearest Friends, with huge love and affection, I seek to submit as follows:
It is now worthless to talk about past bad practices and people. Bad people are not bad really because they want to be so. It is very very difficult for an individual to remain good in adverse atmosphere.
My point is that we should all together decide to bring a change. It is a matter of just resolving to align our dreams for our motherland India. It is the time to decide to throw away the shackles of inactivity, negative attitude, laziness and individualism.
Let us resolve to contribute to positive attitude in the society. We should firmly stand by our visionary Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in all the schemes he has initiated such as Make in India, Swachh Bharat, Digital India, Ek Bharat-Shreshth Bharat, Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao and many more. I feel extremely fortunate to see India getting such an immense leader who has already conquered the world attention.
The simple way to contribute solidly is to perform each of our small or big activity most perfectly and encourage friends to do so I wish everyone to join hands to make our nation proud of us!

I Feel that the reasons behind the SHORTAGE OF SKILLED MANPOWER in India are.
1. Poor Education System.
2. No Technological &Financial Support.
And finally these things leads to.
3. Brain Drain.
We don't forget great persons of India Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam or Ambani brothers but remember they had their opportunities and some financial and technical supports from other well developed nations. Also remember that behind the number one Businessman in the World, Bill Gates there are THOUSANDS OF INDIAN HANDS.
We compare and Compete with the different educations systems between states but fail to compare with that of other countries. Countries like Japan, UK. Provide Practical Education whereas we people are still BOOKWORMS.
The root cause for this shortage is the poor educational scheme and lack of opportunities and solution to this problem is in the hands of Government of India.
In last 5 years increasing the colleges and university's. But student have not taking the proper education. So every college and the university's taking care of student to provide proper and quality education.

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.
I too have a question that Indian people are lack in their practical knowledge?
NO, the indians are not lacking in their knowledge, they have immense knowledge but the way of educating the people is in a wrong way, many foreign countries are coming to India to recruit a talented Indian people to their companies, this shows that indians were skilled but the government of India is not utilising in a proper manner, if the Indian government launches schools and colleges in every nook and corner of the country then all the peoples in inaccessible areas also educated, and in this we can overcome our shortage of skilled manpower in india, our education system should be changed, our education system should be in a practical oriented, during their schooldays itself they should have been teached how to implement their technical skills in their practical life.
I finally finish my speech by saying that.
"INDIANS ARE THE MOST SKILLED PERSONS BUT OUR GOVERNMENT DOES NOT CREATING A GOOD WAY OF EDUCATION SYSTEM HOW TO UTILISING THAT SKILLS".

It's really a fantastic discussion point. If we talk on about SHORTAGE OF SKILLED MANPOWER in India. Actually, I agreed of this point because the factual picture I saw. There is a huge scarcity of practical knowledge in engineering colleges and others institute have it also. Totally it goes to our government who give them iso certificate proves that you are able to open institute But our governments never come to see the environment of education. Skilled manpower should be increased, it's so simple to step if it took seriously by the government.
# stop to give permission for open less facility of colleges.
# innovative projects should be permitted.
# In every college must be allowed each day 2 hrs practical knowledge,
# As we know that IIT college's start lot of society like painting, debate, GD, photography, etc like that All private colleges must have opened.
If we take an example of Indian person who defacto did top notch work in India and out of also. Robustness education will be made better manpower skilled.

Hi guys,
According to me, I think our country has plenty of manpower but scanty of skilled ones. I'm saying that we have a plenty of manpower because a lot of people come from a low-income background so, they choose to do construction jobs of building infrastructures, which contributes a lot to develop the nation but when most of them lack the expertise, then there is a danger for lives and property, leave alone the investment. I think the government as it is implementing new policies for India to reach greater heights must also include and focus on this area as well! There are no less skilled and educated engineers to help India have a promising future at digitalisation and infrastructure but all they could do is create new ideas and schemes execute them etc. But building it and make those ideas real and come alive are done by the labour. Without them, it is nearly impossible to make those plans/ideas successful! Hence a skilled manpower is a necessity for a country, a developing country like India!
Thank you.

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.
