Skilled Manpower Shortage in India

INDIA is a country with lots of great minds and manpower. But everything is going in vain because of the lack of practical education which helps develop greater skills in man. Practical education alone cannot improve skilled manpower there are other reasons also which has to taken care of. If the people of India are skilled in proper manner there is no doubt that India would soon be a developed country. This is the responsibility of our government and each and everyone of us.

The government should give opportunities so that the intelligence and talent of our countrymen will be seen and it will not be wasted.

Hello everyone!

To the best of my knowledge today India's literacy is more or less 70-72%. Since India is a country of huge population, it reflects clearly vast number of people are still uneducated. We can't anticipate skilled job from them. MNC's demands are well qualified employee with perfection for the manpower strength in the company. India seems lagging in this sector. There are deficiencies of institutions also, which could produce skilled manpower in quick successions as compared to japan, US etc.

Our government introduces plans which could give guarantee employment (like NREGA) , but thing which Indian economy needs pretty badly today is the source from where they could gain skills. The plannings of the government are totally flawed. They don't make a well established successful Indian, instead they are making labors with a pathetic job. Government isn't providing opportunities to learn and growth, but they are enhancing those schemes which could help them to stand in center and states. Every politician know this fact pretty well, but they has to indulge in their own life also. The situation how economy suffering from crisis, doesn't bother to upper echelon bureaucrats including politicians.

I obey with you. Really skilled manpower shortage in India due to less knowledge in practical things. Just think once on rural areas without any training some people create wonders in technology who told them to how to do it, no one. They put their theoretical knowledge into practical things. Thus why they did it right. So, in our education system stress is high that's what the problem to think freely, whenever that stress is goes on then our education system trained skilled manpower. Then we escape from shortage of skilled manpower.

Hello Everyone.

We live in a country of 1.2 billion population and still we have shortage of trained, skilled and practical people. What a shame for us. But think who is bringing such circumstances. Of course our sure guess will go to our Government responsible for this education system. Yep they are but what about us. I think we are more responsible for such result more than our concerned authority. Suppose today you get placement offer from two companies during your study at college in final year. Lets say one is from India and other from US. Where will we choose to go? Almost 95% of people will choose to go abroad unless they have some their personal issues. Reason being is that they provide us far better environment, a comfortable life and salary that most of us shake hands with them. What benefit did our nation get from you then?

You will awkward to know that HRD ministry spends about 400 crores out of which only 50 crores is taken from students as fees every year in IITs. And Sarcasm is that it is spent for serving to nations other than India.

It is also true that our education system is not that much updated as per the current scenario. We Indians are rich in theoretical part but we can't even bulb a light by connecting wires together such is our practical skill today. The reason behind this all is our corrupt politicians who are taking no interest in bringing change to it is not a topic that will bring ransum to them.

So what we are required is to discuss these issues with our concerned authority right from the grass root label, i.e. University label which can further increase the attention of our national authority. And at the same time Each of Everyone of us should take oath that we are going to contribute something to this nation No matter where we go or from what field be belong.

It is frank that the India contain a huge of Manpower. But India is unable to use it.

Now a days most of employes anxious to say ' I am working in US ', ' I am in LONDON '. Just think once where he is from. He is from India itself. So please use our manpower for our country to improve.

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".

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!

What is the impinging problem now?: whether lack of skill or lack of industrial development in accommodating the vast workforce. Consider a Country like Japan after 1945 went for mass recruitment and selection process from schools and colleges. It was on the job training (OJT) that trained, shaped and molded the vast manpower according to its need. TO my mind it occurs that still India needed a rapid expansion of industrialization. If everyone can drive cycle, car and use computer within one month there there is no need skill at all. Given a chance everyone can perform better.

In INDIA has more knowledge people. In this country need a lot of opportunities and providing good salary in our country. In INDIAN people to avoid go to foreign countries for job. We need more hardworking to get job in our country. In our country has also a lot of opportunities for working job.

Nowadays INDIA has a second place among the population. Then also we need more improvements in our skills. The skills are not developed by school and colleges. If we need more skill developments then we try to improve that.

I am concerned about the shortage of skilled manpower in sectors that depend on ITIs and the likes. Till some time back, there were institutes, inferior to ITIs but which were developing youngsters some skills for some trades. It was in a way productive. However now they are changing their lines as they say that no more youngsters are coming for such trades. Reasons are many. Salaries are DISPROPORTIONATELY lower for them compared with what their friends with some higher qualifications earn. So naturally an aversion to be an worker is developing. Second, the charges by even by such second rung institutes have become unaffordable for those who are interested. The net result is industry is suffering. I can bringin AC industry as an example. There are answers, but as long term vision is lacking at higher levels, no initiative is coming through.

My suggestion is for various associations/bodies/technical groups/non profit NGOs must initiate free training, or training with stipend during training from affected trade companies, and also fix a sort of minimum remuneration for them as they come out.

If this is not attempted immediately, the future of at least such trades look very bleak to me.

And I am not an AC mechanic, but a qualified AC engineer running my own branded dealership business, getting affected day by day!
