Re: [datameet] Everything that is being done Badly is a Job opportunity in India

[Kedar Annam]

Hi,

I strongly believe in this problem of unemployment with lot of
opportunities opening and lying vacant.
This is also the case with government as well. More than a crore of seats
are vacant even in government sector and people are unemployed in
countries, still there is no employment.

Please consider following point:
1. Lack of skilled people:
- i know many jobs are still available don't need a particular skill, but
still vacant. here the wages to be given for such jobs are playing
challenging role. Wages are low and people will not be able to survive at
such subsistence level with such jobs.
- poor working environment is also a challenge. for example: occupational
hazards of jobs like construction, waste management, mining are very high,
and no safety measures are taken by organisation for their workers and
wages are also too low. because of which people are not taking these jobs.

2. people should be hired first and then trained (given skills) and then
placed to work.

3. National Skill development has trained 30L people but could only place
3L. organisations working in skilling sector are only focused on numbers of
people they are training and not on giving them jobs.
CSR money is used to train people, but companies are not hiring them.

4. People are selected for only training, knowing that they will not be
continuing with those jobs.

5. People should be hired for the required skills in organisation. And then
they should be trained as per the skills required for that job.
this would give maximum impact.



Warm Regards,

I think about this constantly and am outwardly angry at the current gig
system evolving here turning a generation of smart capable people into
drivers and delivery people, who are overworked and underpaid.

You don't need college degrees and English to collect data, to work on
problems, to solve things, to map, to monitor, to build companies and
opportunities. You need a bit of money, a lot of trust, and genuine
interest.

I am frustrated with this dashboard, platform bullshit, where everyone is
willing to sink millions of dollars into tech but not into training and
hiring people and giving them jobs. Because giving people gainful, stable,
consistent employment with benefits and good wages isn't sustainable. Well
that is what works, that's what creates good customer service and products,
good implementation, and a healthier populace that has time and energy to
create more ideas, products and solve problems.

I don't know the answer it's a huge issue. I find it a good start to see
the Pune groups plan and also the work of multiple other people and groups
throughout the country who have been working for years on education and
skill building.

We were approached by a community college outside Chennai (my cousin works
there) about doing data skill building with their students (no one there
has an education level after 8th standard). But it fell through because i
didn't have time and also we had to line up employers. But it seemed
promising especially for data clean up. Converting pdfs now don't require
much programming knowledge, the college does basic computer and english
training with the students. We could do a few simple data clean up modules
and work with a few students to get their skill level up. But I didn't have
time to get employers who will hire them right away which was a requirement
by the college before we worked with them. Maybe we can look into it more
next year.

[datameet] Everything that is being done Badly is a Job opportunity in India

[Dilip Damle]

Hello, 

Fellow Datameeters, 
This is more of a post about my feelings rather than related to Data. 

We are talking about reducing Job opportunities, Unemployment and 
frustrated youth. 

But I am confused. 

Every time I do anything, any work, I go anywhere I see the world full of 
job opportunities in India. 

Every pothole needs to be filled that is a Job.

Everything dirty needs to be cleaned.

Coming to our domain

Every map that does not exist needs to be made. 

Every  data that is not cleaned needs to be cleaned and verified. 


So very is the problem  I wish  you people share your thoughts.


Regards 

Dilip Damle
