Skilled Manpower Shortage in India

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.

Hello, everyone.

At my point of view India, skilled manpower, not a shortage. India's politicians hide the skilled persons (not supported by talented people).

Yes, I do agree with you, education is the factor, we are still not able to provide proper education. Still, there is a huge difference between private and government education all we need to work in this field so that our generations can be well qualified and unforced we will have well educated and trained manpower. And another factor is one who are well trained they not take interest in growth of our country simply they escape to abroad for job etc but they don't think once how they are providing loss to their country. I think they should work for their own country and spread their talent and experience among people so others can also achieve their goals and become well trained. So if we will go this way then I think one day we will be having skilled and best manpower in the world.

I totally disagree with the view that India has shortage of skilled manpower. Because India has a vast numof skilled man power in it. But the real problem is that.

1. Government doesnt using it properly.

2. Placing a right person at right job is lapsing.

3. People who are skilled use it for their business purpose. In order to make profit. And some works for other countries.

In my opinion, the skilled manpower is required in India. The skill is required for the development of organisation. Considering the skill, skill may be of different type, but I'm considering the based on the knowledge. In India the education system is mainly concentrated on the theoretical knowledge. This is not enough for the students, they require practical knowledge also. Then only they can understand easily. When we consider the foreign countries they give more importance practical knowledge, because of that they are innovative, highly talented.

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.

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!

Hello, I would like to add a few words. I am a musician and an entrepreneur from India. From what I have seen, India is filled with people who pay attention to high level learning more than basic and that is the actual problem. Every Indian who is put in a state to compete with a foreigner of the same discipline is out-shined by the peer in minute degrees and that is because the basics not being right. Be it product based or service based or any other form living art.

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!

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.
