Aspirants

Yesterday, over 450,000 young men and women appeared for the Second Division Clerk exams. Only 700 of these candidates will have the privilege of serving us as clerks in in various Government Departments.

The number of aspirants for anything - be it for admission to  medical or engineering colleges or business schools or for various administrative positions with the government - is mindboggling. Let us remind ourselves of these numbers before waxly eloquently on the new India and its opportunities.

    I thought Youngsters are attracted to BPO’s and outsourcing companies.Well its not .
    In karnataka we have more students from rural and semi urban area .Maybe 10 times more than urban students .All the urban job seekers are attracted to BPO’s and various outsourcing companies.And the rest of them have to dependent on 700 open positions in Government or some other industry ( Non IT and BPO ) .Also it reflects the apathy of the State Government and those companies which got benefits to setup facilities in Bangalore and elsewhere .I think the Locals need to be given preferance in Jobs .
    I worked in Hyderabad for many years .I could find engineers studied in telugu medium( till matriculation )being recruited
    as software engineers/BPO’s with out any issues.Over a period of time companies invested in improving their communication skills . I find the same opposite in Bangalore .If a hr manager in a company happens to be Mallu ,he goes to hire many mallus during his tenure .
    Except for few companies started by Kannadigas like BFL , kshema and Sonata where large number of kannadigas were found . In any other company I could hardly find Kannadigas which was quite disturbing .
    There is no harm in asking Murthy,Premji and others to provide jobs to kannadigas from some political leaders/Organizations.
