There is no other solution than the having more educational institute in the country to solve the problem of talent in the country in long run. Country is facing problem because there are not many institute to fulfil the demand for medical colleges, engineering colleges and management schools. There have been some attempt by the private sector to have parallel education centres but that is far from making the real impact on reality. I am trying to propose a solution that can be implemented and solve (to a high degree) the talent problem in the country.
No doubt country does not have many institutes of higher education but there are a lot of institute for higher secondary education and they are producing millions of students every year. There are m any graduates from non-science streams from some of the universities and these guys (and girls) are still not getting the job. Companies are saying they are non-employable. Damn with it. It is traditional thinking and to fight with the talent problem we need to think out of the box and make new solution. I say they are not employable for the job, right. But can’t we change the work so that they can do the work. I have seen work in the high level engineering companies and also high tech software industry and I feel that there is very little work where you need specialization or the skills of a level that is scarce in the country. Why don’t we decompose the work in such a way that anyone with little training can do the work? For example in software, I agree that everyone cannot design the architecture of software for a submarine but I am sure most of the graduates from higher secondary can write a program in C, C++, Java or .NET. They already do this in their school. If they can do the job, let us divide the work with such a fine line that they are doing what they can. When they will do the same work again and again they will become specialised and I am sure they will be able to perform better than anyone else. Everyone does not need to know all the concepts of the computer science and everyone can not know because there is capacity of the mind of everyone.
You might argue that they will not be able to perform to the level other highly qualified/educated do. Take my words these not-so-highly educated do their jobs much better than anyone else. They are highly motivated to work hard and for longer hours. It gives them higher salary and respect in the society and they are inspired by this to perform better. Of course they will be working for the less salary than the others and this saving can be employed to provide these employees to become future leader. New good books can be bought for the company library, training programs can be arranged and they can get online or part time certifications.
If a graduate in history can become a business analyst for Software Company then a guy with good analytical skills can surely do the work if we explain him well. There are always two ways of analysis the problem. If the problem cannot be solved by available resource, then change the definition of the problem, mould it, and transform it. I know there are lots of RMP (Registered Medical Practionars) who are filling the gap of the MBBS doctors. Let’s make this rule of the game and implement it everywhere where India is facing talent problem.
