The Chinese onslaught

The Chinese onslaught

The thoroughness of the Chinese government preparing their country for a global dominance is awe-inspiring and downright scary.

They have devised a 15 - year plan to develop science and technology, 'one farmer at a time' costing $ 111 million .

The goal is to introduce science and technology to Chinese rural masses. They have devised unusual methods like "science trains and "science circuses"to spread awareness.

Just imagine a cool million or more engineers coming out of the Chinese colleges every year, 5 to 6 years hence.

Awe-inspiring or gut wrenching?

India's I.T. Labor Pinch


India's I.T. Labor Pinch


The reason for the labour shortage is :



At the nation's 1,200 technical colleges, just 400,000 engineers graduate each year, estimates the National Association of Software & Services Companies, an industry trade body.

Among those, only a fourth have the skills to immediately start work at a multinational or major Indian I.T. firm.

Contrast that to 35% of engineers in Malaysia and 50% in Poland and Hungary who can perform the offshore I.T. jobs that are now migrating to countries where labor costs are low.
