Declining Workforce Readiness

As students disengage from structured learning, they enter the workforce with insufficient skills, making them less employable. This widens the skill gap, forcing companies to spend more on employee training or look for talent abroad. Many industries, particularly in technology, healthcare, and engineering, rely on a steady pipeline of well-trained graduates. However, as academic rigor diminishes, industries are struggling to find qualified professionals. This not only impacts the efficiency of businesses but also reduces India’s attractiveness as a hub for global employment outsourcing. Additionally, companies that are unable to find skilled workers locally may resort to hiring expatriates or outsourcing to countries with stronger education-to-employment pipelines, further weakening India's job market.
