Dr. S.
Radhakrishnan:
"Our opportunities are great but let me
warn you that when power outstrips ability,
we will fall on evil days. We should
develop competence and ability which
would help us to utilize the opportunities
which are now open to us. From tomorrow
morning‐ from midnight today‐ we cannot
throw the blame on the British. We have to
assume the responsibility ourselves for
what we do.?”

EDUCATION LEVELS
Good academic skills, no real industrial applicability
Rigid educational structure, not coping up with time
Bar for being an educator low, and not followed truly
School dropout rate 56.8% by time of reaching 10th
Solution
Course on par with current industrial trend every five years
Check candidates that apply for being an educator, for ample education level,
and in some cases, their industrial experience
Free schooling to be provided at least upto the level of 10th class and nominal
cost after that
Some volunteer organizations such as “Prayaas”(our college initiative) have
undertaken a responsibility to teach school children

OVERQUALIFICATION
NCandidate may like a field above all else, however an opening may not be present
Where openings are present, level required may be lower than possessed
There are times when candidate may not like to work below his skillset
Also employers are wary of hiring overqualified candidates
Solution
Ample job opportunities need to be created
Better matching of candidates with jobs
More industries need to be started to appease the needs of the candidates
Career counselling institutes to be started

LACKING SOFT SKILLS
Candidates who possess soft skills, more employed
Certification only provides factual knowledge, not the true skills
Earlier courses paid no attention to soft skills, so earlier people at a disadvantage
Only 5% labor force in age group 19-24 estimated have formal training
Solution
Soft skill development to be emphasized
Creation of institutes specializing in imparting these
Providing soft skills to the ones who didn’t receive any training in them
Knowledge of how to showcase your certification skills

How to impart
Medium: English
Period: 3 months to a year(extreme cases)
Both online and in-class content
Curriculum: Ask about the needs from industrialists
Special focus on soft skills, computer, basic mathematics
Introduction of formal courses at a later stage
Industrial support would be forthcoming exponentially to the quality
Internal recruiting of volunteers that passed out
Placement support: Invite various firms to see the level of students and recruit, and also provide
internships

CHALLENGES
• Funding by UN, help of other NGOs, and some
self-start capital
Difficult to make govt
officials and industrialists to
see the importance of
funding the operation
• Better publicity & national test to check their
level, send report
People would not be
forthcoming to acknowledge
their dearth of soft skills
• Better publicity and provide a certificate of
achievement
Low involvement of people
as volunteers
• Have good tie-ups with companies & invite them
to see the quality
Placement is a big issue
• Ask industries what they would like to see in an
ideal candidate and build up on that
Curriculum fit to industries
