My country has a population around 1.2 billion. Most of part of this populations is young popolation making India as a country of young and youth as a national asset. Ideally we should be a superpower and this is dream of every Indian,including our beloved ex President Dr.APJ Kalam. Howvever there are few challenges in this conversion of India from developing country to a superpower.
The youth if get proper education can be a part of productive resorce of a country and the country will prosper on this youth power. The same youth if denied access to education will be become a potential threat to the entire system including high unemployment and poverty. A national sample survey report shows me that if the GDP of India rises at an rate of 6% annually the poverty ratio to the total population will remain same. But the population is increasing, means at 6% growth we are adding poor to our country. It also shows if the GDP of India rises at an rate of 9% annually the poverty ratio will start decreasing smoothly. So to reduce the poverty we need to progress with a high GDP growth of 10%. I Don't want to put further economics and simply want to state that our salaries and expenditure will be grown 10% annually. So everything will be costed 10% higher next year, how one should prepare is the question you have.
A simple answer is add more skills to your development. Increase your income more than 10%. Another survey shows that a good English speaking person has 400% better chances of getting job in India. Do we spend enough energy to learn English ? Why don't we set it as our national goal. If our neighbouring country china is setting ambitious plans to cope this problem with large number of institutes and compulsion to learn English why don't we? If countries like Philippines, Mexico are coming in big way in the area of knowledge process outsourcing where does we stand?
Our software giant Info-sys has best software training programme for the fresh graduates. If just we make educations sector as a profit business, I am sure infosys will not mind to set few more training centres to cater the demand of software industry. Setting such kind of centres in tier-II cities will simply strengthen our economy with knowledge based resources.
English speaking institutes are a matter of high class. Reading English, speaking in English is very rare in our culture. Some leaders will criticise my blog to claiming I am ending Marathi culture,being a Marathi man I have respect for my language and it is a separate issue of preserving and respecting the local language, however we are here to address more burning issue of English. With advent of primary English schools are the fabulous response from our societies to them I will accept we are doing really good steps. But on the same lines our teachers, parents also needs such kind of enrolment And it should be socially accepted that we need to put more efforts to promote the English language to enhance our skills. A compulsion of English speaking certificate for getting passport,driving licence will definitely makes sense. Also the subsidy enhancement will encourage the people to adopt English.
In 2008 govt of India launched a wholly autonomous body called national skills development with public private partnership. The National Skill Development Corporation India (NSDC) is a one of its kind, Public Private Partnership in India. It aims to promote skill development by catalyzing creation of large, quality, for-profit vocational institutions. It provides funding to build scalable, for-profit vocational training initiatives. Its mandate is also to enable support systems such as quality assurance, information systems and train the trainer academies either directly or through partnerships with a objective of "To contribute significantly (about 30 per cent) to the overall target of skilling / upskilling 500 million people in India by 2022, mainly by fostering private sector initiatives in skill development programmes and providing funding."
I want technocrats to contribute here for the kind of skill sets and form of require training so as to move further with this mission.
