The prevailing education structure in India is undoubtedly well equipped to meet the turbulent currents of change and the stormy waves of global complexities and challenges. Although it has uplifted our social, academic, aesthetic and ethical values across the boundaries, it still has some significant short-comings as it fails to get rid of the problems of unemployment, under-employment or the disguise character of employment among our educated youth. Ironically, an educated Indian finds it easy when it comes to a foreign job but has to struggle in his or her own country. It is high time reforms were introduced in our education strategy so as to match opportunities and requirements. In other words, our education system must be 100 per cent job oriented.
