New Job Opportunities for the Youth

Our education structure is the most outdated and pathetic, which is targeted towards creating clerks and babus. We pride ourselves in creating so many engineers and MBAs but have we looked at the quality of the final product. How many people are really employable. and moving to the common graduates in states like Bihar, MP, Rajasthan, Punjab to name.. What about people having an arts background or a commerce background. The Call Centers coming in some states have provided opportunity some in few states but what holds true in Karnataka, AP, Mumbai or Pune or Guragaon is not true for many other states.

We are still facing problem of corruption, naxalite movements, umemployment and hnger in many parts of the country. Yes, in last few years, there have been people who have created wealth but that has not touched the masses. We need options which can provide huge opportunities to people at large and also bring revenue for the country.

We are very fortunate to be blessed with a rich culture and a diverse heritage. We have a huge potential to tap this to generate jobs for lakhs of people but the attitude of the people and the government is pity.

Anywhere in India, if we see any monuments, they are tell tale signs of scribbinn the monuments, spitting and people profousing their love life to the public at large. There would be people who would have done encroachments. The monuments are at riskdue to high pollution in our cities.The Beaches of the country are one of the most polluted in the world. we are destroying out wild life and rich flora and fauna.

The infrastructure in the country is a pity. The railways are slow, airports are crowded and roads are full of potholes.

All these things do not potray a good image to an overseas or domestic traveller. If people move around in the country, they are embedded with a sense of national integeration and respect for other communities and races. This isa primary tenent in the nation building. If tourism increases, people who are graduating out can join the hospitality, services, travel and ticketing, infrastructure and many other related sectors. We should take a serious note of the potential that tourism can bring for this country.Severe fine should be imposed who destroy the monuments and other heritage. The gvernment should promote India abroad. The incredible India is a step in a right direction but it needs to be done more aggresively. The corporates can also play a small role in this step of nation building. They should compulsory make travelling inland a part of their appraisal process for their employees. This will not only increase employee morale and health but would play a larger role in sensitising people about the rich hstory that we have and cultural diversity that this nation has. This can play an important role in the step of nation building
