College degree not the only option

There is need to make students skilled workers through career-oriented course and in India, we have done precious little to provide vocational education to our students. As a result, there are thousands of students with degrees and no jobs. Heightened expectations after obtaining college degrees, lead to a tremendous amount of frustration, more so since these students find it “demeaning” to take up jobs that require skilled workers, not degree holders. We must provide proper vocational education at home, even now tens of thousands of Indian students are going abroad to study courses that promise jobs, sometime becoming targets for racists, the government must allow private players in the market and provide facilities to government-run institutions.
