Santosh Mehrotra’s article, “Utopia as skill set” the
Hindu Published in The Hindu (12.11.13) clearly
points out the deficiencies in our programme
for technical and soft skill acquisition by undergraduates and graduates of India. He
rightly says that setting unrealistic target regarding the millions to be
trained in each year results in failure of the programme. All the suggestions
given by him to reap the demographic dividend are worth government’s attention.
India always seems to pay more attention to quantity than to the quality of
services and this attitude is standing
in the way of consistent and right type
of technical training to our youth and
converting In them into human capital. If China,
Germany and Japan have excellent technical training
models , there is nothing wrong in picking a suitable model among them and follow it in India ,
so that we will not be committing the blunder of wasting the enviable youth
resource which has the potentiality to contribute to industrial and agricultural productivity to a
great extent .
