Discover
Massive Brain Drain : Due to a better Standard of Living, better
   prospects, professional environment & the ever present lure of the
   west.
Graduates : They are looked at like young workers in need of money
   and hence are exploited. The work is poor and the supply exceeds
   the demand by far. It disillusions the youth.
Population : The sheer number of people leads to a scenario
   reminiscent of heavy competition, lack of facilities and
   opportunities. This pertains to entrance level jobs and national level
   exams also whether it is engineering or business.
Gross mismatch between input and reward : The hours worked and
   the compensation received force people to look away, job turnover
   reigns high. The youth lose motivation and look for alternatives.
Vision 2012
• The Model of Education
  There must be a shift from education being solely based on
  theoretical knowledge to education being focused on
  professions so that students become more appealing to be
  hired by companies.
• Impetus
  The state and national governments need to encourage
  students to strive for employment, they must resort to
  providing internships or offering basic employment
  opportunities to a certain percentage of students, at least
  building some level of motivation and encouragement within
  the minds of the students.
Compulsory Education to Guaranteed Work

• The government has already strived to make education up till
  the age of 14 compulsory. This coupled by a program to
  guarantee work for one year for each student who completes
  this education would be a great step towards reducing
  unemployment.
• India in all its diversity and numerous functions has enough
  opportunity for the youth, this can easily be exploited by an
  efficient and committed government.
• The economy as a whole is in an inflationary state and is
  always growing. With growth comes demand and automatic
  job creation. This must be seen as a massive opportunity by
  the government which must be plugged.
Empower the Youth

• “As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will
  be those who empower others”. Bill Gates
• Poverty is the biggest killer in India, it is a vicious cycle that leads
  communities into a downward spiral. Even a paltry 20$ per month per
  family member can drastically change their lives.
• The steps that need to be taken are many but they are small steps, and
  this is what will take the country further as a whole. Once you employ
  people and pay them you give them a voice.
• It’s channelizing of energy in a positive manner.
• Dreams are born here, and a man with a dream is one less mouth to feed.
• This will potentially open their door to living a life and give them that
  silver lining they so desperately require.
Business Model
• Set up Employment centers in Delhi & Mumbai to begin with.
• Wholly run by the youth, between the ages 20-24.
• Four branches per city employing five people per branch to
  interact with the youth.
• Set up collaborations with the government, schools and
  universities who wish to join the program.
• A grade based selection of candidates for an appropriate job
  will be undertaken. The better their grades through school
  and university the more opportunities will be offered to them
• Work will be offered in varying fields from manual work in
  public works, to being offered contractual labour and to top
  students to undertake research proposals.
Goals of the Program
• Make the youth understand the satisfaction of earning ones
  own money.
• Reduce unemployment, expand the program rapidly. This is
  imperative.
• Reach is the main goal, designated people to deal with
  schools, the government and NGO’s to maintain a long
  healthy relationship.
• Set up a small council per city who will track employed youth
  on a sample basis.
• Encourage major organizations as part of their social
  responsibility to hold training workshops with a prize of five, 2
  month internships for the best performs.
Effects & Vision
• Increased number of youth going to study.
• Increase in the literacy rate.
• Reduced unemployment.
• Diversify into towns and villages after obtaining a foothold.
• Expand while keeping the fundamental characteristics of
  the company in mind.
• The youth helping the youth, efficient and transparent
  functioning.
• Transparency should serve as a role model of an
  organization that prides itself on the aim of empowering
  the youth.
• Stimulate thinking.
Outcome : Road Map
• Hours 50 hours per week per person.
• Working Hours of the branches 9 – 18.
  Lunch between 13-14.
• Reach : 4 desks Maximum of 10min per individual to assess grades and
  assign work. Grades-> Categories -> Options ->Employer
• Therefore 6 per hour per desk. Each center = 6x4x8=192 people per
  center. Start with 8 centers. Reach of over 1500 unemployed people per
  day.
• At the centers, put them through to the employer and feed in the
  information and contact details to track the employee into the system. No
  monetary element in the process.
• At the back office the data will be analyzed and continuous follow up will
  be carried out.
