The rate of employability in India has seen a sharp decline in the past few years. Talent apt skilling is something that is notably missing in today’s youth. Reports say that 95% of Indian graduates (both technical and non-technical) are unemployable, creating a big reason for concern to the industry-institute gap.

Several private companies are coming up in the forefront and joining hands with the government departments in offering skill-building programs for the country’s potential workforce in diverse sectors. With such initiatives at large, we can only hope for a better-skilled workforce for the country in the coming years.
