There are a lot of people who say that India is suffering from the
shortage of skilled manpower. These people say that there are not enough
skilled people to take India to a whole another level of economic and
global success. Is it true? If yes, then, it is a matter for concern for
the Indian government and the nation as a whole. If after being the
second most populous country in the world, India does not have enough
skilled man power, it is a matter of serious concern.
The fact is that India is suffering from the shortage of skilled
manpower. According to a lot of surveys and researches done in the last
one year, the statistics have proved there are so many different sectors
in India like the Information technology, construction, mining etc. Not
only this, the country is facing skilled manpower shortage in the field
of media and film industry. It is reported that the field will require
about three lakh professionals in the next ten years. Given the present
scenario, this number would not be available in any case. The reports
have shown that there are a significant number of departments where
there is an absolute necessity of skilled manpower. The question that
arises at this point is why there is a shortage of skilled manpower in
India. There are so many reasons that could be attributed to it. Here
are a few:
1.The education system in India is not the kind that aims to
produce skilled labors. The education system of Indian lacks a targeted
approach to study. The good part about the education system of most
other countries is that in these nations the education system is
extremely targeted. The problem with India is that there is absolutely
no lack of human power. However, the problem arises when it comes to
meeting the demand for skilled labor. In the Indian education system,
the education is not given with some skill or career prospective in mind
and that is where the problem begins to occur. Most of the companies
that hire employees spend time and money in training them first, which
itself, is a major hindrance in the field of employment.
2.Yet another problem with the Indian education system is that of
brain drain. A major chunk of the students who pass out from the
universities and other institutes, go to foreign countries. The salary
that these students get in foreign countries is almost thrice or four
times more the salary that the students get in India. Thus, in order to
earn more money, a major portion of the talented lot of the country
migrates to other countries for selfish interests. The problem of brain
drain and migration has played a very integral part in the shortage of
skilled man power.
3.Lastly, there is one more reason for the lack of skilled manpower
in India. To start with, education has become extremely expensive these
days and thus, a lot many people, a major portion of the Indian rural
population and the population which lives below the poverty line, are
unable to get educated. Whatever education that they get is hardly
vocational in any sense. Thus, even when these people, they do get
educated, they are hardly skilled in any sense. According to a survey
conducted by the Nasscom, of all the graduates that pass through
universities each year, only 26% are suitable to seek employment.
The lack of skilled labor can create innumerous problems for a
nation. If there is no adequate labor class in a country, the country’s
GDP and economic progress will incur heavy losses. The statistics have
proved that the shortage of skilled manpower in India is not a myth but a
reality. There are still so many things that the Indian Government can
do to improve the situation before it gets worst. Here are some of the
suggestions that might help the curb the shortage:
1.About 70% of the Indian population still lives in the villages.
The people in the rural areas do not get proper education. One can find
the most number of cases of drop outs in these areas only. The
government should make a special effort to provide education to people
living in rural areas. More and more education plans needs to be
implemented. Apart from this, vocational training should be made a part
of the mainstream education system and should be used as much as
possible.
2.The government of India should also make efforts to stop the loss
of the entire talented crowd to foreign countries. The government
should strive to create employment within the country so that students
do not have to go far and wide. Apart from this, government should
encourage investments within the country. This will lead to the
construction of more and more white collared and highly paid jobs and
thus, the Indians would not have to seek jobs outside India for a good
salary.
The fact is that of the total population, two third Indians are
below the age of thirty five and are capable of becoming good manpower
or human resource. Thus, though India may be suffering from a shortage
of skilled labor right now but it is a problem that can easily be dealt
with. All the government needs to do is take a few smart steps to
promote vocalization of education and increased investment within the
country.
