What we notice in the work place these days is the fact that what one has studied in the college and university has no relevance to the job he does esp. in countries like USA and India. It is true more of highly skilled people seeking jobs after graduation. Vikas Bajaj in his article “A High-Tech Titan Plagued by Potholes” talks of the plight of civil engineers who are writing software code for auto companies in A.C rooms – getting three times the normal pay available as a civil engineer on construction by lamenting the situation as “India’s Engineering Paradox” .
Indian government aims to spend $500 billion on infrastructure by 2012 and twice that amount in the following 5 years. What is the preparation and motivation needed for such a collosal program to be executed in time? One is not aware of any systematic and conscious planning in the creation and management of technical man-power at various levels as per the requirements in this regard. Hope for the best.
