One of the biggest challenge which our country is facing today is the educated unemployed/under employed. Number of graduates coming out of the colleges are increasing every year. Competitive exam aspirants increase every year and also average number of attempts an aspirant takes for one opportunity/competitive exams are increasing. Number of job opportunities are not proportionately increasing at even at one third pace of the manner candidates are increasing. Survey reports say that one out of every three graduates upto the age of 29 are unemployed in India. 15 lakhs students pursue engineering degree every year. Only 10% of them get a job of even a slight satisfaction levels. Employers say that fresh engineering graduates are not fit enough to be hired as they lack certain basic skills & technical skills. A million engineers in India are struggling to get placed in an extremely challenging Job market. One fifth of them are at the risk of being unemployed. Frustrated engineers are taking job for which they are over qualified and underpaid. One of the reports also states that India produces 100 times more engineers than it requires as of now, This is really an alarming situation now.
Tackling such a situation requires a well structured approach which not only bring this talent pool of the country on track but also utilizes this manpower for the growth of the country's economy. Time has come when youth will have to come out with best business ideas and utilize the best of this talent pool available and help in resolving this situation. Already we have seen many start-ups coming up providing services and products which are making lives better and at the same time earning huge revenues. Numerous opportunities are there in every field, Its just that one needs to grab those opportunities and convert them into fortunes. One of the smartest brain powers in the world, India will become superpower only when all the youth energy available is utilized to its fullest potential. The problem is we tend to become slaves and expect someone else as our masters to feed us.
