Yes, that’s correct. Our data shows that 95% of students graduating from Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar (Aurangabad) have to migrate to metro cities for jobs.

Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar (Aurangabad), with a thriving education system, the city produces thousands of graduates each year. 95% of students leave the city in search of better opportunities. This post explores why this happens and, more importantly, how we can reverse the trend and bring jobs to the city.

Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar ( Aurangabad ) have an annual intake of 4000 computer science students, each year. Check link below for more details.

Our estimate is a maximum of 2000 people are employed with companies listed below and some would be working remotely. This is not even 50 percent of the total computer science student that passes out every single year. Also numbers are stagnant which reduces chances of freshers getting a break. While the city is producing a significant number of talented individuals, there is a glaring disconnect between the educational output and the job market.

 The migration trend typically involves students traveling to Hyderabad or Pune to pursue training or internships. Adapting to a new location can be challenging, but once they settle in and gain around two years of experience, many advance in their careers. With sufficient experience and industry exposure, a significant number also migrate abroad for work opportunities. 

Local education institutes have done their part. Now it’s time to focus on creating local job opportunities.

  • For how long will our talented youth be forced to migrate to other cities in search of jobs, leaving behind their families, culture, and home?

Within state urban migration as per Statista is 27 percentage

Let’s keep it that way, if 70 percent of talent gets employee locally that can contribute to the local economy, this can happen only if there are more companies setting up in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar ( Aurangabad ). The government offers facilities through the Software Technology Parks of India (STPI), and we currently are operating from an STPI premise. When we first started, the space was largely unused and covered in dust. While the facility itself is good, the electricity costs are extremely high. In fact, we pay more for electricity than we do for the rent of the fully furnished, plug-and-play setup. For example, for a 50-seater office, the electricity bill comes to around ₹60,000, which is significantly higher than what we pay at other locations.

We have our share of experience and local understanding of people and culture

Here are a few ways you can contribute to help future generations secure local job opportunities.

A start-up culture needs to come into play, local business people who can invest should look at funding talented teams and work towards generating more value. 

1) One way to bridge the gap between graduates and the local job market is through better collaboration between colleges and companies.

    • Internships during college, vocational training, and regular industry interaction can help students stay connected to opportunities in their own city
    • Colleges should promote local companies. Work closely to build a robust ecosystem and help create deployable talent availability

2) Politicians and leaders can play a key role by promoting and encouraging companies to establish operations in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar (Aurangabad).

3) Individuals by simply share this information, build awareness and letting people ponder and find solutions to bring jobs back home.

4) Students can invite alumni back home, this will get the required leadership to scale local IT companies.

Covid-19 has brought new challenges for companies. A number of aspects have been disrupted, including hiring. Here is one hiring case study that we want to communicate based on our learning.

We see a number of posts on LinkedIn where people lost jobs due to the pandemic situation and are asking their network to help find one. Starting from a similar post, we also had our share of experience hiring Kadir Pathan. Here is his post on LinkedIn. Many such posts are also there on whatsapp groups.

 

The Hiring Phase

On the onset, his request looks good in terms of skills, reasoning that he was contractual and due to pandemic he lost his job. We were told that he did not get paid for 4 months as there was no fund for the project and he was finding it difficult to manage his expenses.

In the technical round, he failed; even though he showcased a number of skills in his profile and above LinkedIn post. It was clear he lacked skills which he claimed and listed.

Kadir Pathan used reference, follow ups, and based on multiple requests, he was allowed to join with a commitment from him that he will pick up quickly and deliver. This was a clear case of sympathetic hiring during the pandemic situation.

 

Here is what happens with sympathetic hiring. You feel a candidate is honestly articulating his profile and situation by publishing a post on LinkedIn asking for help. He is further trying reference and solving his problem.

This is a positive way of looking at the candidate, his immediate needs and the pandemic situation where many lost their jobs. It will make you believe and get into a mode to help in whatever way you can.

Once on boarded,

Kadir Pathan could not perform. As per policy, enough support and time was given and he was asked to leave as literally he could not produce anything. His bad luck was that all resources were working from home.

So, we could not give him in person mentoring and attention. Remote help for him was also consuming team member time. So as per process he was asked to leave as there was no progress from his side.

One thing that needs to be stressed at this point is – if talent is there, no employer will get into PIP (Performance Improvement plan) as there is lot of effort and cost to hire right resource.

Why we are writing this learning is because this fellow went and put a bad review comment publicly, irony is many employees tried to help him due to his situation, first by hiring him , giving him time to learn despite showcasing his profile as experienced, remotely supported as much as team can during pandemic .

With this new break and opportunity, ideally the focus is to learn from colleagues, thank them for support and upgrade skills.  Kadir Pathan was jobless for 4 months. He got a break and did not take things positively.

Energy and effort should be towards learning and not blaming for our own shortcoming.

He or others in the same situation should have a positive frame of mind. World has people who want to help people who are in need. Here for us, Kadir Pathan set wrong precedence and such experience will stop employers with sympathetic hiring from helping people in need.

Employers in today’s world are trying to relax policies and processes to cater to such candidates. Who knows, a small help can make a big difference in people’s lives, while still maintaining a very professional approach.

If candidate does not perform, action needs to be taken. That part has to be professional as clients trust you with work/project and that cannot be experimental.

We tried to contact him multiple times,

asked him to visit us in person and share his grievance if any. He did say he will come to talk. But since then, did not pick up multiple calls and that give us a feeling that we will continue to chase him, asking him to remove the feedback which may give him a certain satisfaction.

But what Kadir Pathan is not realizing is that if he joins some other company and they know he has done such things in the past, and same can happen to them, there will be an element of doubt to hire him.

Also an employee who cannot raise issues during employment and vent their negativity in public domain shows their weakness to articulate, handle things professionally.

If you can call and get a job using reference and multiple follow up, same can be done to address any issues. This is a clear case of back stabbing trust and leaving a bunch of people with negative feeling thinking there is no way same people will cross each other again.

In the people industry, there will be differences. That is why India gives freedom to choose employer and employer has freedom to choose employee. We want everyone to have a positive and professional approach.

If you leave a trail of negative and false claims, that will haunt you more than anyone else. One person or multiple people attempting to defame will not work. God is there and let god judge. Whoever did wrong, will be punished.

When the word Artificial Intelligence was introduces in technological landscape, little did we know that it has power to dominate our routine interactions. AI was designed to assist human actions and choices through is robotic yet flexible learning system. Over years, leading AI software like Siri, Alexa, Cortana have shown us myriad ways our lives can be transformed.

Using its incredible sensing and machine learning abilities, AI can help you take informed financial decisions, book hotels and restaurants and even drive business productivity. AI can sense, process and act on information supplied to its system.

The technology even comprehends our habits, personal choices, work quality and behavioural pattern to transform our lives to a great extent. Here is how:

Service-level intelligence

AI can extend its reach to help people across various economies and industries. Using its predictive intelligence capabilities, AI system can learn about ongoing services and maintain its regular standards with reduced manpower.

For instance, aviation settings can leverage AI’s learning curve to make check-in process more comfortable and frictionless, and less time consuming. AI linked with scanning system can read your passports before boarding and manage airport security. Thus, airport terminals look much improved and automated and convenient for travellers.

Personal assistants

Technology of AI algorithm has fiercely pit many tech leaders against each other, making them create incredible AI-based personal assistants. Microsoft Cortana, Apple’s Siri, Amazon Alexa are some of the most familiar names in this zone. These digital assistants have been making our lives better for quite some time, giving us handy suggestions on:

  • Weather reports
  • Sports events
  • TV guide
  • New releases & updates
  • Work-life management
  • Personal events notifications
  • Choices and needs
  • Domestic device control
  • Business meetings

Many assistants remind you of upcoming tasks, calendar markings, to-do lists, fitness care and healthy living.

Predictive maintenance

For any public service industry, maintenance is a critical aspect of its healthy system. From power suppliers, manufacturers to transportation, AI can help predict the time for maintenance depending on the data captured by it. This greatly helps minimize sudden breakdowns and shutdowns. Aviation companies can thus prevent major accidents of plane crash using intelligent predictive maintenance powered by AI system.

Accelerated growth

People focus more on goal-oriented life to achieve better growth prospects and accomplish personal milestones. With too much data and competition rising in the surrounding, it will be cumbersome to manage and track individual progress. AI helps people define their goal and control their physical, psychological and spiritual growth needed to improve their day-to-day performance. Thus, AI will give rise to the development of much evolved and poised society full of better people in all areas possible – students, professionals, leaders, friends, community, etc.

AI engines for stock management

Supermarkets, malls and public stores are going to be impacted by AI’s cognitive intelligence. Powerful AI engines will keep sharp watch on product stocks and deep-learn its present status to forecast future demand and sales of different vegetables and merchandises. AI is adopted on a wide scale to observe the product consumption in relation with weather effects and trending events, offering well-timed solutions for accurate in-store stock and sales management.

Better choices of personal relationships

Lifestyle AI is not only set to change the way you select your wardrobe, meals, jobs and other workaday aspects, it will also bring revolution in choosing life partners. AI’s keen algorithm can assess and process immense amount of data from our daily communications, social media interactions, profiles, favourites and tendencies, personal interests and intellects, and history of previous engagements to find you the right match. It can even go to predict how long your marriage is to last and suggest fair recommendations.

Customized solutions

Gone are the days when personalized approach used to be unthinkably expensive. Industries could not afford customized solutions until AI was discovered. The new generation of manufacturing processes are much controlled, adaptive and smarter as it involves artificial intelligence software. AI can thus streamline the production and deliver the products without concerns of cost. Even Google uses special algorithms to find results that fit close to their online profile. Thus, AI can use its deep learning program to tailor-make solutions instead of general ones to align with individual requirements.

AI transforms travelling

The brain behind Artificial Intelligence can read your travel plans and historical preferences depending on your situations. Smart tools with AI can assess this data and compare them with suitable travel options. It can give you all the suggestions related to the questions of flight, transportations options, available connectivity, safe return options, eco-friendly measures and all other smallest details of your entire journey.

AI can make reservations, plan the travel route from pick up to destination, and fetch ambience information and guide you for safety and suitability, and a lot more.

Transportation gets automated

Concerned about where to park your car? AI is happy to assist. Already there is a lot of excitement in the world of automated cars enabled with driverless driving. Self-parking is another feature offered by AI technology to resolve your parking troubles. Not only that when it comes to trains, AI is now being considered for driverless, automatically controlled trains in capital cities around the world.

Improving environmental condition

AI also seems to be hopeful in environmental sciences. Environment on earth is much driven by the factual data where AI supplies powerful information in various areas: resources management, water pollutant level, causes of toxins, species conservation, CO2 level in the oceans, recycling activities and much more. This way, environmentalists have a lot to gain from using advanced AI technology.

Conclusion

The pace at which AI is getting integrated into human life across assorted economies is high. This implies that it is time to imagine a future where AI-enabled digital assistants will drive efficiency and productivity in our life. AI-powered tools are all prepared to take over our repeated tasks, personalizing solutions with intuitive intelligence and real-time learning. Above are just a few areas where AI is transforming lives with more and more increased capabilities. It has a long way to go.

Health Professionals and Engineers at the USF College of Engineering and USF College of Nursing has created a new app called HeartMapp for patients with congestive heart failure(CHF).
