I am working with 17 colleges in Karnataka and am very proud to see tremendous improvement in them. Most of the final year students have got jobs in MNC and Indian companies.

There is a serious shortage of faculty members as B-schools and the Engineering Colleges have mushroomed across the country. Most of the colleges for higher education (including the IITs and IIMs) have about 40% vacancies on an average. A typical business school in India tends to have less than 10 faculty members. Most of the subjects are taught by so-called ‘visiting faculty’ who typically teach at three to four colleges simultaneously. In most of the not-so-known colleges, it can be seen that students graduated in the last one or two years are the ones teaching the current students. The reasons for this sorry state of affairs might be many and there seems to be no immediate solution possible. A related problem leading to the current state is the “faculty crisis”.

I believe our teachers should be taught the needs in the field and equip them to embrace new tools and technology. I am seeing this myself working with colleges and preparing the (would be) graduates to become prepared for the corporate world.
