Skilled Manpower Shortage in India

Good one. When we talk about the skilled manpower n India we must concentrate on some key points. Our educational upbringing and our prejudices about the opportunities in India. We are best in software (look to quick heal software). We are the best in management skills. We have done researches from kamasutra to asus. So we are having a potent manpower but if we are lacking somewhere it is in the effective utilization of the commodity we have got.

Hi friends,

In my point of view, our country is one of the youngest country in the world because of large population. But our talents are not utilized by our country so they are moving to the foreign countries.

So India should encourage our talents for development of country.

Hii friends, we all know that India have huge talented hard working and youth man power as compared to other countries but I think that these Indian youths don't get proper opportunities and moral support to prove themself and to improve there skills so they prefer to migrate to foreign countries where they get recognition and best opportunities to flourish themself and to increase there skills.

Besides these foreign countries provide proper platform to talented youths to showcase there skills and they value those skills and not only that they constantly motivate there citizens and help them in all possible ways.

So I think we all Indian citizens should get united and we should be made aware about the importance to be skilled and should support each other to develop our skills.

Indian government should provide best possible competitions and opportunities to skilled manpower and should concentrate more on practical approaches then theoretical one.

Hello everyone,

Let's face it we inherited our modern systems from the British who were interested mainly in ruling the country efficiently and make wealth for their home country, Britain. So our educational system, in Western model, was designed by the British rulers to create a legion of 'babus' - essentially clerks - who would assist the Brits in effectively administering this country. The Brits were not interested in our ingenuity, creativity or sense of enquiry. They were not particularly interested in developing a scientific temper in their Indian subjects because all technology was profitably imported from Britain. It made sense for the Brits to make us literate but not necessarily well educated and enlightened. For genuine education one had to cross the seas and seek enlightenment in some English school and university. No wonder most of our Indian intellectuals in the 19th and 20th century were 'English Educated' from abroad.

Unfortunately, after Independence, we continued with the same education system we had inherited. Our system lays over emphasis on cramming theory; practical application is very much given the short shrift. Think of what happens to a child in school, if he or she is fortunate enough to be in one; from an early age we are taught to learn by rote, we are discouraged to ask questions lest we embarrass the class teacher! Our education systematically kills our curiosity and creativity. We are forced to learn a whole lot of outdated rubbish which has very little practical value only because it is in our syllabus.

Having studied in one of India's premier institutes - IIT - I can tell the difference a good education does. Our schools and colleges worships mediocrity. Who is to blame? Our educators - they are fossils from another era. They are more interested in perpetuating the old system to preserve their august position. How many of them open the windows of their mind to see where the rest of the world headed?

After Independence we did start some world-class educational institutes such as the IITs and IIMs which recognised and rewarded merit (and not how much money you can fork out to enter to these hallowed portals) but short-sighted politics has started dumbing-down the standards to a lower common denominator level.

It is the native intelligence of Indian students that is our saving grace. We are an innately intelligent people compared to many and therefore, it is no wonder that we thrive when we find a place where our talent is recognised and encouraged to flourish.

We will continue to churn out 'unemployable' educated people and bemoan the lack of skilled manpower till we sweep out the antiquated education system of ours. Countries that allow young people to question the status quo and find a better way tomorrow obviously progress.

To unleash the tremendous potential young Indians possess we need to forthwith update our education system and get rid of those who are comfortably enjoying their lofty sinecure as framers of our education policy. That will change our fossilised institutions and allow bright talent to shine. That will change the managers who run our industries by making them more creative and less servile to the past. That will change India.

According to my opinion Skilled Manpower Shortage in India is not correct because Swami Vivekand said "Everyone Have Power TO Do Anything", So we can't says that the People are not skilled if they got a chance to prove there self then everyone will be ahead. In NASA out of 11 people 7 are Indian.

Yes at some places where education can't reach at that places the people are not well educated but it does not mean Skilled manpower is shortage in India.

Hi, friends all your people has said from your point of views about manpower shortage in India. In our country most of the people are hard workers. People are working for daily wages. Because of they have to work for earning the income. Now a days technologies has improved even though man need to be operate the machine. There is need for man. So as we are the Indians we should be accept the manpower without man there will not be a proper work environment.

Hello friends,

Probably in India there is less skill because of illiterate people & poverty. Still India is developing in the field of Sports, Education. India has manpower but not skilled they are uneducated. But be proud to be an Indian.

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.

Hello everyone.

We know that recently MNCs recruited students of IIT with a package of 1.2 crore rupees.

This proves the capability of people in India. The thing is we are lacking of resources which mould the youth to desired shape by making them skillful. Education became a business in India which is boon for youth making them lacking of skills.

Though there are highly skillful people in India their number is not comparable to population in India. So I agree with the fact that India is in shortage of skilled manpower.

In India there are lot of resources and lot of manpower but this manpower is not well skilled. This is due to lack of practical knowledge. We have to concentrate on the practical knowledge during our education program.
