Now a day it’s a trend of outsourcing as the cost in India is less than other countries, I would recommend that small government enterprises and other outsourcing govt and pvt work should be assigned through career center like kisan call center, other survey works of government also should be given to each district wise and the people living there. So that everyone has a small income rather than outsourcing to other big companies for a bulk amount.Lets make a path for development.

Proposed career guidance centres should highlight on skill development of passouts irrespective of their branch/stream across the country. Let it replace employment exchange centres running sluggishly under various state governments. Based on skills learnt during the training period, let the person be employed, not mearly by his/her marks. Let it be named as "Swami Vivekananda Yuva Samvahini Centres".

Given the focus on "Make in India", we should set up centers which build skills in manufacturing. These need not be diplomas in engineering but have to ensure we equip our young people across the country to confidently manage different kinds of manufacturing jobs. The choice of the specific skill sets can be based on the indigenous manufacturing location (e.g. if there is iron ore nearby and we have a steel based unit, we can teach smelting).

we should involve bachtgats in this initiative,because there is a strong need of career centers at villages and taluka level and then at big cities.Bachtgats are the one who can perform this task effectively and in this way they will get an opportunity to work.These centers should have respected professionals from society so that people will listen to them and center should provide guidance to all levels of student..Thank You

Respected Sir/Madam, here are my thoughts on Career centres in few bullets: 1. Start from school/Colg level: Introduce career counselling at school/Colg to provide and guide students with information on career options for each stream~Science/commerce/arts. 2. Invite role models to school/Colg for lectures ~ Defence officers, Doctors, Engineers, Actors, Media etc. Students can relate to their role models and identify their interest areas early. 3. Introduce Vocational courses at school level

jab bina learning ke child & youth pass honge to skill progress kis parkar hogi or jab child & youth me learning attitude hi nahi hoga to career center se kya hoga.in Bharat most school send child in next class without passing marks.at first makes strong practical education system. Agar hum schools ko career center ke roop me develop krenge to skill development & learning attitude bachpaan se hi hoga.skill development makes strong career so as career center schools are best option.

Sear sir/Madam, I am a psychologist by profession. I am meeting many students and youngsters for career guidance everyday. In my opinion, all Indians need psychological career guidance through career centers. India lacks scientific career guidance perspective as most of us look for only job opportunities and not for job suitableness. Scientifically, aptitude, motivation and personality should match with the course/career path chosen. If any of these do not match, there will be issues.

There are huge number of professionals in their late 40's and early 50's who are either free to quit job or self-employed and such people can be employed by the "Career Centres" for skill development of the youth. It will help in the youth getting direct practical approach of the work place that they desire to enter.
