Dr. Pallavi Kapooria, Satish Sumbria

Abstract :

In context of the changing global economic environment there is a need to assess the relevancy of academic output from higher academic institutions to the industry specially the country like India. Population of 1.3 billion, of which about 0.8 billion in the working age – India in 2020 is surely something the world can look forward to. According to economic predictions, that time would be the golden ‘Growth’ era in the demographic dividend. We would not only have enough manpower to meet our needs but we can help the rest of the world as well. In the glitz and glamour of these numbers, one often chooses to ignore that in today’s era of knowledge based economy, creating a skill pool that can be employed readily by corporate is a mamoth task. The present paper is an overview of the gap between academic output and industrial requirement & aims to analyse the relevancy of academic output which may serve as a useful tool in the hands of educationists, policy makers and corporations and make them reflect upon and implement right interventions to idge the gaps.
