Its unfortunate but equally true. As we all know only 20% of Engineering & Management degree holders get a suitable job matching their qualification. To say, in our country where Engineering colleges & B-schools have mushroomed over the last few years as commercial establishment and not as seat of learning and skill development, the companies don't find these colleges worth visiting & recruiting the students from. Its really very unfortunate because the students join these colleges after paying good amount of fees only with a dream of getting good learning experience to qualify for getting a job particularly through campus selection. The poor guardians equally suffer a lot in the whole process. Our HRD ministers at the centre and in states together with regulatory bodies like AICTE must look into this aspect seriously and initiate urgent measures to correct this sordid situation.

It had to happen and this trend would deteriorate further. 24x7 our life is shaped in consonance with mother earth's movement round the Energy God, Sun. Morning to noon to evening to finally night, our daily routine is positioned accordingly. But, the Indian corporate culture has created so much of mess in the name of LPG (Liberalisation, Privatisation & Globalisation) that our social and personal life has become excessively stressed for little cogent reasons. Every body, even those who don't understand fully the meaning of GDP talks in terms of this term. And GDP is, as experts know, is one indicator of any country's development. Now the time has come when, we must start talking about the QUALITY OF LIFE of our all countrymen instead. To talk only of GDP growth and derive plesure & pride is nothing but an abuse for 850 million people of this country who are compelled to survive on a daily income of Rs. 20/- only. Now, think of the 540 million plus youth force of the country, the highest in the world, to whom if the power that be provides the right opportunity for learning and earning, they can do wonders for themselves and for the country. Our whole planning & execution machinery must focus their attention on these basic ground realities to save the country from impending disaster in many ways.

                                        Will meet again with Open Mind. All the Best.
