This is not because of ‘demand-supply gap’ but due to wide ‘employability gap’ created every year by 70%-80% of Engineering graduates pass out who are considered ‘unemployable’ (not skillful) by the growing IT and ITES sectors. Even the 20%-30% of graduates who take up campus placement go through rigorous 3 – 6 month training program to develop the skills required by the industry.

Nature’s Manager Here is a famous saying - “All events, large and small, ultimately result from God’s will”, but HE takes various forms, one of which is MOTHER NATURE. Have you ever thought of how this complex universe works? Can this work by its own (self-managed)? Well, I believe for any system to work there is a manager who designs, implements, controls and monitors it. For example, in a family it is the FATHER who manages the family, in an organization it is the CEO, in a school it is the PRINCIPAL, in a cricket team it is the CAPTAIN and so on… So, the manager takes various forms like father, CEO, principal and captains. Similarly to run this universe their should be a manager who manages it, we call HIM as Superpower, GOD(Vishnu, Jesus, Allah etc.,) and I call HIM as NATURE. I feel GOD is NATURE and vice versa. Being friendly to nature is nothing but worship to GOD. So my sincere request to all readers is befriend the nature and make this world a beautiful place to live.
