A
VIEWPOINT ON UNEMPLOYABLE ENGINEERS AND UNEMPLOYABILITY
Healthy / strong
manufacturing sector can only help in better fiscal policies. Low skilled /
unskilled engineers can’t sustain a healthy manufacturing sector. This simplest
equation is going beyond the comprehension of the policy makers. Beating around
the bush can never give desired output. We will have to find real reasons for
the universities producing unemployable engineers. Any effort other than this will
continue to bring disaster.
Classroom to classroom teachers / faculty are designing engineering curriculum by sitting in the airconditioned AICTE offices and this is the reason that our universities are churning out unemployable engineers. Being a Mechanical Engineer, I have studied the curriculum for mechanical engineering and I feel pity for our youth and the country. Unfortunately, we have come too far and corrective action may not be possible now. Therefore, keep offering more and more opportunities to ‘make in India’.
‘East India Company’ came on its own and we could ask them to go back but now we are inviting them with a red-carpet welcome. Will we have any authority to ask them to go back? Will there be a possibility for our engineers to work with dignity? Low skilled engineers are produced for serving multi-Nationals.
Minimum monthly dole / allowance can be given only when the country has healthy and vibrant manufacturing sector. Let us be committed to the Nation and build a better future for our next generation.
