Dubai:India needs large number of talented youth with higher education for creating and imparting knowledge, former Indian president Dr A P J Abdul Kalam said. Kalam, who inaugurated a seminar for teachers of CBSE International (CBSE-i) schools at the Indian High School here, said that India's higher system is contributing 3 million graduates and post graduates every year and the students seeking employment after completion of 10th class and 10+2 class are around 7 million per year. "Thus nearly 10 million youth are injected into the employment market every year. In the 21st century, India needs large number of talented youth with higher education for the task of knowledge acquisition, knowledge imparting, knowledge creation and knowledge sharing," he said. According to him there is a large gap in the availability of employable skill in India.
