Indian techies struggle as jobs crisis worsens
Chinchwad: Santosh Gurav gained a bachelor's degree in technology from a mid-tier college in western India last year, specialising in electrical engineering and hoping to land a job in industrial automation.
Six months on, the 27-year-old repairs mixer-grinders, table fans and other household appliances at a cramped shop in the western city of Pune. On better days, he picks up broken LED lights from scrap dealers, fixes them, then sells them. He earns about $50 a month (around Rs 3,500), just enough to cover the rent for the room he shares with two others as his home.
"I haven't even started repaying my education loan," said Gurav, referring to the nearly $4,000 (Rs 2,80,000) he had borrowed for his undergraduate study.
He is one of hundreds of thousands of engineers — studying everything from computer code to civil engineering — that India's education system churns out each year, many with large
The IT industry had long been seen as a gateway to the middle class in India, but a move to robotics and artificial intelligence has replaced some positions. The business process outsourcing industry — seen as a stable provider of "offshore" jobs — added the least number of employees in seven years in 2017-18 (April-March), according to the trade body Nasscom.
Lack English skills
At a recent job fair organised by a college in the town of Chinchwad in western India, Gurav was among hundreds queued up to apply, including dozens of engineers, even though most companies were hiring for marketing and finance positions.
Many came from rural areas where they studied in regional languages, and lacked strong English skills — another gap that recruiters say India’s education system needs to address.
Ankush Karwade, 22, who travelled 130 kilometres to reach the fair, said his father was a farmer and the family couldn't fund him to earn an undergraduate degree. He did a shorter and cheaper diploma course in engineering.
"I watch some English movies and read the newspapers to improve, but most employers want graduates," he said. "They (also) want English speaking skills, which I don't have."
Gayatri, a 24-year-old woman who goes by one name, gained a master's degree in engineering four months ago, under pressure from her parents. She said she had wanted to continue her education in Indian classical music.
"My father wanted me to do engineering, so I did it. Now there are no jobs," she said. A company at the fair offered her a customer service position that would pay about $140 (around Rs 10,000) a month.

Ok I'm not gonna gloat and nor am I gonna rub it. Frankly what I read saddened me, very sorrowful. But alas, indians PDFers laughed at me a few years ago when I told them that it is writing on the wall...india was being prepped as the sacrificial cow to take out China and Pakistan on behalf of the americans and isrealis and kill itself in the process. and if could not fulfill its obligations, it would be thrown back to the days off deep and widespread poverty faster than modi could blink! that is happening now... militarily, ndia has been getting its butt handed to it by Pakistan and what happened on the 27th was icing on the cake. india's western imperial gods have now made up their minds and have written off india as completely worthless, incapable of fulfilling its duties, frankly india had disappointed its western jewish masters. india and indians are now going back to what they always were...broke and poverty ridden. and they only have themselves to blame.
daikho, abhi bhi waqt hay. Pakistan say pangay mat lo. China say pangay mat lo. Don't try to be the big boy on the block, you are not the big boy on the block. We are. And we can protect you, we can facilitate a lot of economical growth and stability for you. stop dancing to the western zionist tune, bring yourself down to earth. insaan ho, insaan kay bachay ban kay raho, kush raho gay, don't try to be the hindutva nazi brahmin type, you still have time to recover. I honestly and truly feel bad, very sad for the hundreds of millions unemployed in india, even sadder to see indian it workers in the u.s. fighting tooth n nail to somehow stay in the u s. and stooping down to some really unspeakably low levels just to stay in america, the reason being they don't want to be one of those hundreds of millions of the unemployed back in india. theek ho jao, abhi bhi waqt hay!

you are too kind to these racist arrogant Indians, the job crisis has busted the Indian myth "learning Hindi will increase Job Opportunities" - Subramanian Swamy, BJP
To feed their unemployed youth, they have no qualms in stealing jobs away from Tamils jobs
Madras HC Moved For CBI Probe Into Alleged Scam in Southern Railway Recruitment
He observed that the allegation was similar to that of 2016 postal recruitment scam in which candidates from Haryana, Maharashtra and Punjab scored higher marks in Tami exam as compared to Tamil candidates.
"There is something serious in this. Such type of discrimination cannot be done against a particular state alone. If such things are done by authorities from Tamil Nadu, it would have been made a national issue. They would have been called anti-nationals," the judge said.

Hmm, well they only have themselves to blame for what is happening to them. Can't blame anyone else.

After BSNL salary default, single mother says can't feed her kids | WATCH
After BSNL defaulted in payment of its monthly salaries a woman's video went viral on social media where she can be seen crying and saying it's really hard for her to run her house.
State-owned telecom firm Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has failed to pay the February salaries to around 1.76 lakh employees due to its financial crisis.
This is the first time BSNL has defaulted in payment of its monthly salaries.
The fully government-owned corporation is undergoing a major cash crunch due to the price war with private companies. The salary for the month of February has been delayed by 10 days.
