Sir,
India’s labor market faces a critical skill gap, hindering technological adoption and economic growth. The education system’s emphasis on theory over practical skills, outdated curricula, and inadequate faculty compensation exacerbate this issue.
Private institutions prioritize profits over quality education, underpaying faculty and disregarding regulatory guidelines. Regulatory bodies fail to enforce compliance, perpetuating substandard education.
To bridge the skill gap, India must:
* Update curricula to reflect industry needs
* Attract and retain qualified faculty with competitive compensation
* Foster academia-industry collaborations
* Increase investment in key technologies
* Enforce regulatory compliance
Reforms are essential to produce a skilled workforce capable of embracing technological advancements. India’s future depends on addressing this crisis.
