'Faulty education system pulling India into employment crisis'    
New Delhi, Nov 25: A "faulty" education system and lack of information about job market are the major factors that are pulling India towards an employment crisis, a new book by an NRI analyst claims.

India churns out a large number of graduates every year but industry rues about skill shortage as issues related to education does not appear to be on the agenda, Amber Ahuja, Adviser of New South Wales University and author of Be Inspired: Make an Informed Career Decision , says. "The co-existence of high graduate unemployment and skill shortage in the Indian industry demonstrates the paradox of the Indian higher education system," the book says. The book goes on to say that the "more you study the more you increase the chances of finding any employment. Ahuja pins down the problem to an education system which is "not in sync with new market realities." "Today's volatile Indian economy means that industries and companies may rise and fall at a faster rate....Market demand for individual skills is changing fast," Ahuja notes. "What is perhaps more disheartening is the fact that the Indian education system does not appear to be bothered about its own customer, that is you as an individual." "Here is the proof -- Current debate in India on the higher education does not focus on the individual who is in fact the customer of Indian education system," it says.
