Why is “OUR OBJECTIVE” important?
Higher Education has to play a vital role in working towards economic growth, personal- independence in the scientific, technological development and mobilization of human resources for our Indian economy; we are already a 66-year-old and the largest multi-cultural democracy in the world. In India, the projected higher education enrolment has increased from 1,00,000 (1 lakh) in our independence year 1947 to 1,53,00,000 (1.53 crore) in 2012. Our higher education Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) is shockingly half the world’s average – FRIGHTFULLY LESS! India’s GER is much lesser than the developed nations (54%) and other developing nations (36%).
Out of that small figure, further 59% of Indian youth suffer from some degree of skill deprivation! Hence, Unemployability is a bigger problem than unemployment! India’s current higher education system is a barrier, as 10,00,000 (10 lakhs) people will join the labour force every month for the next 20 years without adequate training. 80% of India’s higher-education system of year 2030 is yet to be built and needs breaking the difficult trilogy of cost, quality and scale. Massive innovation, investment, and overall free competition are the urgent need for India today!
It is time for us (we Indians) to think of our re-awakening and there is no better way than education through its three levels – primary, secondary and tertiary education. What has been 1900s for US and 1950s for Europe, 2000s is for Indian higher education. Metamorphosis is the need for the day; it is high time we Indians seek for qualitative growth and qualitative development. Today, the time is ripe for stimulating ourselves for a better tomorrow!

Under the leadership of Sir Prasad, the J.P. Sahu Foundation drives the objectives, advocates for the foundation’s issues and helps set the overall direction of the organization. A true humanitarian by heart, Sir Prasad began his philanthropic efforts in year 1994 with the foundation of the school. Thus in the year 2011, he laid the foundation of Inspiria College that is laid around 5 acres of land to empower Indian youth with adequate skills and make them employable.
In our previous blog, we saw what the industry feels and the experts’ assessments about present graduates in India. It is candid that, we do have lots of jobs but lack of employability is a hindrance! Hence, we tried to figure out some prominent reasons for unemployability in today’s graduates. The vital cause is ‘the […]
We saw in the early 80’s, graduates in our nation faced unemployment despite decent scholastic abilities. However, we witnessed India flirting with economic reforms in the last decade of 20th century and the international conglomerates got their services and products out-sourced to us. Our country has become the third largest higher education market worldwide with […]
