Description :
India is now a fast emerging market inching to reach half a billion middle income population by 2030. Indian industry is here to grow provided it takes competition and innovation seriously. Experts forecast major industrial activities will be in SSI & Medium where high-skilled workers will be harder to find. The job growth will be concentrated in SSI & Medium sectors like education, health services, service sector and production sectors that require a skilled Entrepreneur force. Creating a strong, well-defined culture provides a competitive advantage by attracting the best candidates. Strong Entrepreneurship cultures have also been linked to much higher employee morale, which, in turn, reduces man power turnover (and the associated costs of recruiting and training new employees) and increases productivity.
Entrepreneurship / Employability of available human resources provided by various Institutes across Indian in all disciplines is a big problem . The National level survey shows that it is only 20 % overall and in professional courses it is just 12-14%. Analysis shows a wide gap is due to lack of Industry - Institute interaction in true sense . A paradigm shift in approach of designing Curriculum as per need of Entrepreneurs Skills, resources for industries will address the problem. Appropriate means are to develop these qualities through distant Learning system where Industries should be patronizing these changes by providing necessary input like technological advances , future trends and Aptitude & Attitude requirements for workforce. It is only possible if education system integrates and adopt the role of extended education system.
