Providing Need-Based Education Is The Key To Employment

It is a bygone conclusion that for good job prospects and a bright future, the basic requirement is good education.

In a country like ours, where despite good education, the unemployment rate is quite high, there’s need for specialised education and trade-based curriculum.

The last decade has seen a spurt of entrepreneurship and startups mushrooming all around the country. This has come about due to a series of educational initiatives by the Government in ‘Skilling India’ through a vast network of polytechnics and rural community colleges where technical education is imparted.

Besides such specialised skills and trade-related education, the industry-educational institution collaboration has provided the students with practical and theoretical knowledge, which helps the person to start work or set up a business of his own without delay.

The fact that many highly educated individuals are returning to their roots in farming, for example, and in setting up individual enterprises in various fields shows that self-employment is one of the major options to beat the unemployment scenario.
