Investing in the human capital and retaining it to generate growth is focus of every government. Being a developing nation, India has a major interest in its human resource capital. As a nation, we cannot let go of a single opportunity to attract young minds and encourage them to contribute towards building the nation.

Every state has numerous government and private institutions dedicated to providing education in various streams. These institutes train a fair share of professionals for suitable public and private sector jobs and give them access to better life and career prospects.

For example: Himachal, one of the northern states known for its eternal beauty and tourism is fast becoming a hub of industry-oriented colleges. Baddi, a city in the foothills is an emerging pharmaceutical centre and has an Institute of Pharmacy and Engineering Sciences to provide specialized training to the youth of Himachal and its nearby states. Besides this Himachal government has announced that soon it will be opening two special colleges at Shimla and Dharamshala for providing programs in hydroelectric engineering- hydropower being one of the major assets of the state.

But then there are many factors that restrict the reach of the education system into the far corners of the country. Factors like inaccessible terrain, poverty, social apathy towards higher education in general are hurdles in imparting education. To maximize the reach of higher education and to open up vistas of opportunity for the youth of India more concerted efforts are needed.
