We are facing a very serious situation in the fields
of employment and education in India. A vast majority of our educated
youths are still unemployed. The primary reason for this is the
defective education system of India that is primarily academic in
nature.
We do not pay much attention to professional,
vocational and training based education in India. All we do is
teaching of age old academic concepts which have no significance in
real life. The natural result is that the already strained employment
sector is further constrained to employ the ill trained and ill
equipped young generation.
This is a serious issue as unemployed young
generation is not producing any productive results for our economy
and they are also engaging in illegal and unsocial methods to
survive. If the situation continues for long, we may face a serious
law and order problem in India.
Indian government has also realised the perils of
this situation. The Indian government is planning to sanction around
Rs 40,000 crore in over five years to provide skill to around 3 crore
people during the period. The government will also partner with
private sector to implement the ambitious scheme. This is a good step
in the right direction and Perry4Law
and Perry4Law Techno Legal Base (PTLB)
welcome this move of Indian government.
As a matter of fact, skills
development in India is urgently needed to manage these
issues. A special emphasis must be given techno
legal skills development in India that is presently
missing. Till our educational systems are able to cope up with these
qualitative demands, we must stress upon use of distance
learning for skills development in India.
Further, virtual
campuses in India can also fill the skill gaps that we are
currently facing. PTLB
e-learning platform is providing techno legal courses and
trainings in India that aims at inculcating skills among the masses.
Some of the areas where PTLB is providing techno
legal trainings and courses include cyber law, cyber security, cyber
forensics, ethical hacking, clod computing, malware analysis, etc.
We hope that Indian government would do the best to
strengthen the professional, vocational and training based education
in India as soon as possible.
