Speaking after the inauguration and delivering his key note address on 'Following your dream and planning your career', Dr JP said our employment which was agri-oriented became urban centric over a period of time. Every year we are adding two crore youth to the job market. While China is losing 3-4 million jobs every year, India has a huge unemployment ratio. At the same time large number of graduates and post graduates are being added every year to the job market. But, very few are employable. We need to fill the gap, he said.

Our education system is one of the worst in the world. There is no problem of educational infrastructure or money. What is the problem is we are unable to differentiate what is right, what is wrong. Forget marks and grades. They are of no consequence. We need knowledge. Our governments cannot understand what is success. As result a success by any means become a success. Governments are unable to measure what is success. As a result our education has become redundant. Unfit are becoming teachers he said. Degrees are mere a piece of paper. They have no value. We need to skill out people.
