Every year more than 50 lacs educated youth gets added into the list. Educated youth is frustrated, dejected and lost hope as even professionally qualified youth who have engineering, management, graduate degrees also are not getting job. The situation is go grim that highly educated people are taking up odd jobs.
On the other hand, companies always have the complaint that they are not getting “right talent”. They have vacancies but not able to hire. When there are crores of educated youth are available, why companies are not able to hire? Where is the gap? Companies have resources to hire talent. But, crores of youth need help to find employment.
