Just now read this news in Economic Times that Infosys will train 100 Software Engineers from SC/STs list of whose will be provided by the Ministry with an expenditure of 1.36 crores!!!
Not sure of what is the motive behind this step by the Software Giant but the action proves one unstated point... it proves that the engineers from SC/STs lack the basic engineering skills and need special training of six months... This despite the fact that the list of 100 such engineers cud b d top notch amongst SC/ST quota... Does this shows that an engineer frm SC/ST quota takes twice the amount to learn things which a normal engineer takes (3 months regular training)... If they are Comp Engg, it is even more shame... So shall we have double the period of education for Sc/ST...
But such move will force other private institutions to take similar step and pacify the protets... There is no doubt that you dont need much skills once you are selected into infosys... Ctrl+C Ctrl+V... So definately they are going to clear the training... But this move will affect areas where specialization is needed.. areas of research... areas of medical...
I am sad to say but such a move was not expected from a company which is a Brand name in itself... which is respected throughout the world... which has a name in every household... unless there is some other... Infosys should have taken a step and set up a primary school especially for SC/STs rather than spendin cool 1.36 crores on this... That would have helped better....
Just hope that there could be some hidden motive in this to make Central Ministry realize their mistake... Else we all will regret soon :(
