Hello, friends.
I think one of the reasons behind this starts from the school itself. It is due to our typical parent's mindset that their son/daughter should be joined in very good result producing schools/colleges and secure good marks. But they don't know how it's going and end up and what impact it has on the child. The child starts to follow his/her parent's dreams than his/her own dream.
The other reason is the poor education system being followed by the Indian government. Because India is lagging behind by about 50 years comparing the other countries. Now it's a high time that government should take a proper step and change it now itself or else in the upcoming years the situation will be even worse.

Hi, skilled manpower shortage in is mainly by the government because of the poor peoples are joining in the government schools only so government want to increase their good education systems like decrease in theoretical papers and increasing the practical knowledge and in India there is many skilled persons but they have less chance to prove their knowledge in India.

Hello, everyone, it's the right thing India has a shortage of unskilled labour. Due to the lake of the good education system, this is happening, there are many institutions in our country but that institutions are not maintaining their standards, institutions must and should take about the skills of students. Institutions have to improve practical knowledge. The education system has been becoming commercial day by day. Due to lack of education quality, unskilled students are increasing.

Guys, after reading so many arguments I came to the conclusion that the main cause of shortage skilled manpower in India is the facility of the education system. But is it so? It is the only reason? It is equally fault of us, of not thinking about it and moving with the crowd with thought. But answer me till when, there must be an end. Today we the student are not at all worrying about the concept and practical use of knowledge rather mugging the data (so called bookish language) just to get marks. But tell one thing what are you gonna do with this marks?What, securing good? Age in our Indian study boards then what. Skilled manpower is lacking in our country and it will be the main problem until we the today's generation and the coming generation will not take an essential step towards it. So now rather talking about cause and effect of a shortage of skilled manpower we should discuss about its solution.

As per my view, there is an issue of lack of skilled manpower in India. There are various reasons behind this situations.
1. Our education system: totally based on theories as if there is no need of practical knowledge and after college, when we start our job searching process we suddenly realize we know nothing about our subjects itself.
2. Job opportunities: Job opportunities are fewer as compared to job seekers.
3. Reservations: These are the blunders. The advantage of not deserving candidates over deserving candidates.
Due to these reasons and lack of guiding, Brain drain is becoming popular, because job seekers need to earn their livelihood and they are getting better opportunities outside India.

As per my view, there is skill manpower shortage in India. It is very irony that being a country if 2nd largest population in the world, there is shortage. If you can see interview of top CEO's of reputated companies they also agree for the same. Skill cannot be developed only by getting degree. We have to improve ourself to such extent that required by organisation. Most of the educated person in India only have their respective degree but they don't know proper communication, body language, good english, good technical/respective job knowledge. Recently the Dehli metro chief Er.Shreedharan told that only 10-15% engineering graduates are able to doing job. We should think about why he said this. There is lack of proper communication, body langauge, good english, technical skill in btech graduate holder. I am giving just an example. This type of gap is present almost all field. If govt wants to improve this situation, govt should do start work from ground level. Most if the children still start their education from govt school only. Govt should provide good communication, enhancing team leader property, good body langauge, skill along with basic education. Colleges, universities should improve these by doing various activity. In engg colleges, these things are must because in engg colleges, most of the engineer who passed out are not able for doing job. So, Govt should increase institute like ITI, DIPLOMA, COMPUTOR COURCES for improving young talent and enable to them for doing worm in their respective field.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I don't think so that India is less skilled manpower why because of India have good and more skilled manpower but what happening is due to lack of industrial and employment opportunities.
Indian skilled persons are going to abroad and there they are doing well. For example Satya Nadendla CEO of Microsoft.

I don't think that Indian education system is to be blamed for the lack of skilled manpower in India because it's not only education matters, also have equal importance in sports also only skilled people can excel we have good eg as PV Sindhu, Virat Kohli, Saina Nehwal, Sania Mirza, etc.

Yes it real facts, it's true.
Every year there is opening for 10 lacks job, but in these, they selected only 100 or 200 candidates due to lack of knowledge.
In India, there is many peoples have talent but not good communication, poor body language, no English etc. There is a lot of things we to change because the company needs a good personality person, good communication with good knowledge.

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.
