Skilled Manpower Shortage in India

I believe that there is a slight shortage of manpower in India. This makes us reflect on various factors, the prior most being the education system of our country. Are we really targeted to produce best of the engineers, doctors or lawyers? Or are we drawn to make more money in this education system? Until and unless we don't improve our education system to match world level, we will face such difficulties. Education also starts from home, so not only students but parents should be counseled to, so that be the right guide for their children who are going to become the future of our country.

In my opinions, India doesn't have a shortage of skilled manpower. Because I don't think teachers are not properly guided student are not properly motivated and all that. But the country like UK, USA, etc lure the Indian talented people by offering them better package and facilities than the Indian companies so India's talent are grabbed by abroad country by giving a little bit more than offered in India. People's thinking towards Working in abroad give more responsibilities, status. They prefer to work in abroad than India that's the reason the India have the less skilled manpower.!

I think it's not correct. We are having best-skilled person. But the thing is that our management is not giving them the dignity which they deserve. For eg some foreign company would come take away those skilled people. And they start working with them n feel more comfortable than here. Skilled people start working for other nation and help them to develop that nation. This is happening because they offer more salary package than here. So, in a nutshell, please provide them that advantage here. So that they will work for our nation and become an asset for our country.

Thank you.

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.

We have manpower but still lack in skills. Main reason is our education system. Same weightage and scope must be given to practical knowledge. In India, what it happens if you have a 9 or 10 CGPA in your marksheet, then you are considered as most talented. Now ask those students to practically operate something, most of them will fail to do so. Now, we can understand that how come to a student from Japan of the same age is far technologically advanced in comparison to ours. It's only because of their much practical exposure. So, our system to some extent needs to be changed.

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

Ya! that's true in the prospective of INDIA.

We should be concerned on creating human skilled force as today India is the YOUNGEST of all the nations.

These young brains should be used for our nation. Main reason of that is low educational infrastructure, increasing of population and poverty.

India is following the USA in its educational policies. US do not want Indians to be educated because Indians are taking away the jobs of Americans. So we should change are pattern and proceed like JAPANESE educational policies which is based on developing SKILL BASED Education.

I am totally disagree with this because at that time manpower of India increasing day by day. In sports, education, etc. Just for example in cricket more than 70% players are younger and they show their own talent all over world. In chess V.Anand.

In whole world if you can't see the Indian people and you want to seen then go on cricket maximum people are Indian. Why? because they have ability to go out of the world and show talents[any field].

That's my point of view related manpower. And at the end I would like to say |in few years India on top in the field.

There is a shortage of skilled manpower mainly because of our education system.

* The syllabus is usually outdated and has no connect with what is being applied in the industry.

* The teachers focus on concepts. The students don't understand them and hence mug up the answers before the exams with the sole intention of passing the exam.

* Application of the concept is not taught and when a student asks a doubt from outside the prescribed text book, more often than not he is told "This is out of syllabus and will not come for the exam". This is the problem.

Hello friends.

In my opinion India didn't have a shortage of skilled manpower but the thing is that here every one wants to become engineers, doctor, etc in which today everyone competing and at the end the result is only 10 % students were become engineer and doctor.

The thing is that everyone going for this only in which there is probably less chance. In my opinion student should do some thing unique to get the success in their life.

At last I want say that "People don't know what they need until you give it to them" just think about it.

Thank you.
