COURSE INNOVATION IN UNIVERSITIES AND EMPLOYMENT GENERATION

           COURSE INNOVATION IN UNIVERSITIES AND EMPLOYMENT GENERATION:    

            Southern states in India are experiencing a boom in new colleges and universities but, facing a challenge of  poor student enrollment, decline in employability among graduates/post graduates produced due to a situation of lack of relevance in course of study to societal needs at the global level.

           Teaching ,support staff lacks a sharpness in latest domain knowledge to cater  the specific needs which are ever changing due to knowledge explosion and, are unable to cope with the competition in the global front.

          Please see this situation critically, at present there is a glut in Electronics and Communication graduates,and many are jobless,struggling to get employment,or underpaid. But their sub domain ''Digital image processing'' is a subject very much in demand in medical imaging,''X'' rays,CAT scan, and digital interpretations.All that is required is an INNOVATION of linking the relevant process, and sub domains and offer it as a course of study .Students may take it as a certificate /diploma and consequently elevate their  employability.

          Universities can generate funds by offering it through distance/online modes also.This approach needs some creative and selfless approach to overcome the ''INITIAL RESISTANCE'' from the respective domain of knowledge/technology experts. But such ''MATING'' of several sub-domains in Agriculture,Medicine,Arts and Science,Sports, may generate huge potential in the employment front.Prince. Do you have a question?----please let us have some dialogue ------on this.
