Causes of the educated unemployment in India

There is the different cause of the educated unemployment in India.

• Disloyalty under educated system

Under the education system, there is the disloyalty, which produces graduates and post-graduates like pins and it is one of the most defective cause for the problem of Educated Unemployment.

It becomes very important in the today’s life, to get the degrees and make the aim to get the job by knocking the door of government or commercial offices for post of petty clerks

• Lack of skill

The mind of a village boy or the son of an agriculturist is so badly affected by four years of academic life in the city that he would consider it below his dignity to fall back to his paternal profession as a University graduate.

The son of the agriculturist would prefer to live in the city as a clerk drawing a salary which may be ten times less than the amount which he can earn by improving his father’s agricultural profession.

• Lack of knowledge of technical and vocational institution

In the country, those people have not the knowledge of everything, then they will be insufficient to get the job.

There is a miserable dearth of technical and vocational institutions in the country. There are very few Engineering and Technological colleges, and the expenses for undergoing these courses are so high that an average person, belonging to the middle class, cannot afford to have his son admitted in these institutions.

• Different mentalities

In the University education system, it is common that it has the many restrictions and it allows only that students to reach their goal, those are eligible to secure at least a high second division in their basic examinations.

It is a most intensified problem of the India, which is producing mass graduates and more technical, medical and agricultural colleges should be established all over the country and Government aid and scholarships should be granted to the deserving student.

• Lack of cottage industries

Particularly, there is the lack of cottage industries and the village boys remain unemployed, but they should be imparted training in cottage industries so that they might earn their livelihood by starting such industries in their villages.

• Population and migration

The population and migration are also the biggest problems of the educated unemployment. There are the uncontrolled population growth and migration of foreign job seekers in the country.

It is also defined the bad condition by the overpopulation because country’s human population exceeds the carrying capacity of its environment.

Schemes of government

• Prime Minister’s Rozgar Yojana is established for educated unemployed youth.
• Scheme for Educated Unemployed for employment generation in urban localities (SEEGUL)
• Scheme of Self-Employment for Educated Unemployed Youth (SEEUY)
• Schemes for the State Governments (Educated Unemployed Youth)
• Scheme for “New Initiative in Skill Development through PPP” by Planning Commission of India
• Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA)

Conclusion

The unemployment problem, especially among the educated youth of India, should be given a serious consideration by the government, as the youth of today is to be the pillar of the nation in future. If the rising generation is demoralised and degenerated; if its spirit and fervour are chilled under the impact of unemployment, our country will not be able to make any substantial advance in future.
