Unemployment With Qualifications ~ Dr. H. S. Swadhin Kumar Pal Poem by Dr. H S Swadhin Kumar Pal

Degrees are blooming like flowers in the sun,
Yet countless journeys remain scarcely begun.
Across the globe, young dreams still seek a place,
While India's classrooms continue the endless race.
Knowledge grows, but opportunities often lag behind.



From 2014 to 2026, reforms came with hopeful claims,
Policies changed, and education acquired newer names.
Digital classrooms, skill missions, and visions reached the air,
Yet many qualified hands still searched everywhere.
A certificate alone could not guarantee a career.



Universities produced scholars rich in academic pride,
But industries sought practical skills to stand beside.
Competitive examinations stretched year after year,
Delays and uncertainty deepened every fear.
Talent waited while time silently slipped away.



This challenge is not India's burden alone to bear;
Across continents, graduates search in hope and prayer.
Technology transforms professions at remarkable speed,
Demanding adaptability beyond every degree earned indeed.
Education must prepare minds for tomorrow, not yesterday.



Let learning unite wisdom, innovation, and employable skill,
Let honest governance strengthen every determined will.
May every qualified youth discover purpose with dignity and grace,
Building a nation where merit truly finds its rightful place.
For education must create not only graduates, but meaningful futures.
