This is why we are here!!
Our Solution model
In our research we have tried to figure out a
solution of the un-employability issue from the
existing system itself, thereby making its
implementation more feasible. The focus is mainly
on making minute changes in the existing system.
Revamping the entire system is not possible but
with key policy changes and adequate
implementation we believe the existing problem of
un-employability can be eradicated.
