Youth is the strength of a country. Is the current education system effective enough to provide the youth with a good employment opportunity? The answer would be no. Even after the government has deployed various skill enhancement programs, most university guidelines are not flexible enough for students to handle both the skill development programs and their studies. National reports suggest that most engineering students in India are not employable. This occurs because every student is studying their syllabus clearly, but most of them don’t know how to apply it. Only those who know how to implement the concepts are selected by companies.
Over the years, our government has provided skill development programs through vocational higher secondary schools and job-based courses in industrial training institutes. But undergraduate students are not getting many opportunities, thereby lacking industry-relevant skills.
The government has to ensure proper implementation of the skill development programs and increase more opportunities for college students, which can go along with their day-to-day study schedules. Unemployment is a big problem we are facing today as a nation. Proper plans should be introduced to eradicate unemployment. Various industry relevant skills are to be trained to college students.
