Skilled youth are the future of the country

The beginning of the robot revolution, which was predicted earlier, will now be premature due to the spread of the corona virus.  The latest report of the World Economic Forum (WEF) has also said that the nature of billions of jobs will change by the year 2025.  Billions of jobs are being changed as a result of the rapid increase in automation and digitization.  Due to this, up to ten crore new jobs will be created.
 The good news is that due to artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, more jobs will be created than the number of people who will lose their jobs.  However, it is most important for the youth to be ready with the skills to grab them with both hands. The WEF analytical report means that the plans of the countries of the world need to be accelerated to the extent of necessity.  Twenty sectors such as satellite services, electric vehicles, innovative antibiotics, ed tech etc are expected to change the world in the near future.  To what extent will India benefit from such expansion opportunities?
 Last year, UNICEF projected that by 2030 the country’s working-youth population would exceed 96 million, the highest in the world with 310 million graduates.  However, only half of the total applicants will have the skills required for employment.  Studies show that the number of people who lack the skills for the job is increasing.  It has also been suggested that there is a need for immediate corrective action. However, the slogan of the new National Education Policy is that ‘Quality Education is the right of the student’.  It is good to hear, the broader agenda of mobilizing human resources to maximize their contribution to the country’s development is yet to emerge as the main agenda of the governments.  Launched the ‘Skilled India’ policy with an aim to convert 40 crore people into highly skilled resources till date.  The Center itself admitted that only 24.17 per cent of those who were trained in the first phase of the ‘Skill Development Scheme’ during 2016-2019 could get employment. The fact that out of 72 lakh trained candidates, only 15 lakh were in employment.  can come.  This proves beyond doubt that the Skill India target has been badly missed.  Both the Telugu states have recently signed an agreement with American company Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to improve the talent of 80,000 students by next year.  He has collaborated with Microsoft and National Skill Development Agency to equip one lakh young graduates with digital skills. In India, where more than a third of the country’s population is in the age group of 15-24 years, it is urgent to mold them into skilled human resources.  is not possible, a special system which periodically assesses the number of skilled human resources required in each sector over the next five to ten years, says that such system should be created and suitable based on its research and recommendations  Curriculum should be designed. Priority should be given to basics of language, maths and science up to secondary level, moral education and character development should be limited and priority of studies at college level should be employment and skills, while many companies do not have jobs  The reasons for giving are attributed to non-availability of properly qualified skilled workers. It is a viable strategy to allay the plight of postgraduate and doctoral candidates competing for modest jobs.  If education is turned into a powerful tool to meet the emerging employment requirements from time to time, then the country will be able to move ahead and lead with multifaceted development.
