India is a 3rd world country all we know. It got independence in 1947. But, again think - what about china? The country just behind our last bench got independent in 1949(2 years after than us). Now, at 2017 the GDP of India is close to 2 trillion dollar and china is just 9-10 trillion dollars. You will say lots of bla bla ... But you cannot deny this numbers. The china has got something which India doesn't. China though far more advance when India was sleeping and fighting within the country. The Chinese took the chance. Not just took the chance they did a good use of the chance and what is that?
The Rise of china - After World War 2, it became a competition who will lead the 20th century and onwards? Europe, America or Russia? East or west? The American dream was not to rule actually, their dream to get rich and that's why they needed to sell their products to the market and rest of the world and the opportunity where they can sell and earn money. So, they started innovation and innovation. They started pushing countries to open their market. But to sell products they also needed to manufacture. They needed to make their products. They needed cheap sources of manufacturing the things. They needed sources where people will produce and produce and we will sell it. Yes lots of profit is there. Technology was their but technology was not so advance that they could produce robots and get their job done. And then they have less population. The china used this advantage. They open their market not just selling but also for manufacturing. The country with 1.5 billion populations at that time is just hungry for jobs. The poverty is filled with the country. So, one need to sell food and one is so hungry to eat. The china needed west and vice versa. The china starts creating environment for mass manufacturing. The west sees china is a card and they played it. I can remember a quote which is read somewhere in Internet where Mao said "By 2049 every single Chinese will be a rich man" and china is almost in that way. I do believe china will not take 2050 but china will do it within 2030 and the country of 1.25 billion rich people there. The west started producing products in china and gradually started selling whole west, eastern, western parts of the world. This mass fracturing not only increased throughout the country, it also helped the country to get the idea of technology and business. The Chinese govt. was to remove poverty of 500 million people for this mass manufacturing business. They both got profit and as a result of which in 2017 china became a country of 10 trillion dollar economy, 5 times more than India.
Indian issues - India, which is riddled with its own policies, cannot just decide what is best for him. It too had poverty but could not decide how to remove it. India had note ban, emergencies for many times. Still the country remains far behind development. That is probably because of bad economic policies and every law in India is rigid. There is corruption in every angle of govt. as well. The Indians were busy in fighting themselves only just one word "what to do"? And, you know good times are not always available. In 1991, India just opened its market and private agencies. This is the 1st time India did something with its economy. If anyone, knows the whole thing you will say it looks like India did its independence in 1991 not in 1947. Moreover, a country with a billion people cannot change overnight. It takes time. The rapid industrial revolution started after 1 decade, since the 2000. Still in 21st century, no matter how much advance India is, it is still filled with rigid laws.
Our progress - Since the starting of 21st century, India's Chinese revolutions started. However, it just like the food is about to end still hungry guys in line. The world already filled with cheap Chinese products. The Chinese steel is all over the world. So many things china produces compared to the rest of the world. The china consumes coal compared to the rest of the world, china produces steel compared to the rest of the world and many more. So, everywhere is china. Without china east, west, north, south is blind. So, how India will create its own space? The world is not just ready to cope with china. There is no space for India to become china. While I was on train to go to daily job at Kolkata, one of my friends argued with me daily. He said many things daily; one of these topics on china is following -
“I know china is dumping the India market, but does Indians have alternatives to Chinese products?”
The Chinese’s are not only selling products in India, they too make many products in India. Many Chinese Smartphone companies are today is being assembled in India, don't you think that Chinese are creating jobs too? There are lots of Chinese investment is going happen in India, don't you this is also important?
The Indian govt. also earns huge revenue just by imposing duty to the products sold in India.
Don't know, but to me all these questions don't have any answer to me. It is hard to explain such things as well. How is the benefit when a product sold in India is produced by Indian company and made in India vs a Chinese company just producing and selling in India? No matter how much Chinese helps in any way, if we could make each and every product sold in India to be make in India it will benefit. All knows why?
When you put the things simply, it is not possible to make them understand that products sold in India should be 100% made in India and that is 1st step towards a growing economy. Now, there is the discussion for topic of the article starts. We produce over 1.5 millions engineers each year compared to 1 lakh engineers in USA and still don't have space for them. They are still unemployable. I am here putting all the reasons here so that one could understand why Indian engineers are unemployed able -

They are still unemployable. I am here putting all the reasons here so that one could understand why Indian engineers are unemployed able -
- China - The china issue I just discussed before. The world already has a china form where cheap labor is still available and the world is not ready create china. - explained that before. So, No room for made in India.
- Technology - Technology is moving faster than us. 20th centaury was just technology but in 21st centaury not just developing the technology you also need technology in each and every step. We can divide the technology requirement in following ways -
- Automation is everywhere - Not just producing goods, you also need to produce well without human resources. You know what? Yes, it is. You need to produce goods with machines because machines cannot be-tray human cannot. Human resources could strike but machines could not. Human need increment in salary but machines don't. So, make sure machines can produce your products. Also, machines could do 24 X 7 works but human cannot. Machines could replace 20 people work for 1 machines and that's why today manufacturing units don't just need human resources. They just need machines to develop machines.
- An innovation drive the technology - Yes, Innovation in technology sector is the primary requirement today's technology. We need to innovate products each year. Apple, Samsung is producing new versions of smart phones and that increases the sales. Wow... this year a new phone from apple - let's buy it now. If there is no new phone, why buy?
- Quality and quantity both required - 20th centaury was just for develop quality products. Which approach created by America and got success. But in 21st not just quality products, you also needs to produce that products mass quantity. Which strategy is started taking shape in china? Today, in 21st century, china is not just trying develop quality products it also wants to produce for the 7 billion people on the earth. The more it produces there would be less money for it. It would be cheap. It would be high quality as well as cheap. This here china has used its 1.3 billion populations to develop high quality as well mass production. India lacks the environment for mass production as well as quality production.
- Robotics is the future - It is noted by scientists that by 2050, 79% of jobs done by human beings will be done by robots. Mostly human jobs will be to control the robots. So, baby born in 2017 will face lot of problems after 40 years of age. He or she may remain jobless after having lot of degrees.
- Engineering colleges are just business - yes, it is Engineering colleges are just businesses. They are not here to make engineers who will build futures planes, buildings, bridges etc. They are just here to make money. They are just talking millions and billions of rupees loan from banks and make colleges. In west Bengal, there are lots of engineering colleges (I don't want to name) those don't have any kind of infrastructure - just a few rooms with chairs and tables and a computer levorotary and then nothing. No practical room for other engineering students likes - mechanical engineering, chemical etc. However, they promise a lot. We guarantee your job; we created highest quality of infrastructure, library and lots of such. In fact they are not yet affiliated form govt. They just don't care whether the student can learn engineering or not they are just waiting to make money. Somewhere engineering's college's takes lakhs of money from the student coming from very middle class student in the name of donation.
- Students are studying eng. To just become engineer. Not for Industry - yes, Students are studying engineering just be become an engineer. Yes, it is a course for intelligent students, lots of money sends (so, his parents got a chance to show money). They want to be proud about themselves that I am an engineer and that's all. They have extremely poor quality of education and training system (because you colleges main are to make money not to make engineers).
- Make in India but no make for India - Our Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi Lunched "Make in India" campaign. Was that really significant? I don't think so. Just after Modi announced make in India campaign, following next month. Russian president Putin came in India and announces the deal of buying s400 missile system for Indian army. Is that an example of Make in India? India buying talgo train coaches from Australia, is that an example of India? USA is going to sell predator drones? Is that an example of make in India? Of course not. The country which produces 1.5 million engineers each year is buying 80% its weapons from Russia, USA, and France - that is not making in India. But it is not that we cannot build our own trains, tanks, guns and light combat aircrafts - of course we can do. There are already. DRDO have developed LCA named tejas, missile named barak, akash etc, arjun tanks and more. Why Indian army cannot use them? Simple because of quality and does not meet army demands. I wish it could be better if we could make for India rather than make in India. At least those products will be sold in India would be made in India with this rule.
Now you understand why India cannot employee its own engineers? Obviously, there are problems in govt. side, public side and business man side. Many people say the problems are with the quality of education and training the engineers are getting, many say there are engineers but no jobs. I say the problem is everywhere. Education cannot be bought by money. It requires long journey and hard work to get successful. Also, requires govt. support. We all need to seat in front of table need to analyze all the dos and don'ts and that would be the only way to solve all the issues.
I think (and I am sure) India one day will meet its good use of engineers.
