The economic transformation of India is one of the great business stories of our time. As stifling
government regulations have been lifted, entrepreneurship has flourished and the country has become
a high-powered center for information technology and pharmaceuticals. Indian companies like Infosys
and Wipro are powerful global players, while Western firms like G.E. and I.B.M. now have major research
facilities in India employing thousands. India’s seemingly endless flow of young, motivated engineers,
scientists, and managers offering developed-world skills at developing-world wages is held to be
putting American jobs at risk, and the country is frequently heralded as “the next economic
superpower.”
But India has run into a surprising hitch on its way to superpower status: its inexhaustible supply of
workers is becoming exhausted. Although India has one of the youngest work forces on the planet, the
head of Infosys said recently that there was an “acute shortage of skilled manpower,” and a study by
Hewitt Associates projects that this year salaries for skilled workers will rise fourteen and a half per
cent, a sure sign that demand for skilled labor is outstripping supply How is this possible in a country
that every year produces two and a half million college graduates and four hundred thousand
engineers? Start with the fact that just ten per cent of Indians get any kind of post-secondary
education, compared with some fifty per cent who do in the U.S. Moreover, of that ten per cent, the
vast majority go to one of India’s seventeen thousand colleges, many of which are closer to community
colleges than to four-year institutions. India does have more than three hundred universities, but a
recent survey by the London Times Higher Education Supplement put only two of them among the top
hundred in the world. Many Indian graduates therefore enter the workforce with a low level of skills. A
current study led by Vivek Wadhwa, of Duke University, has found that if you define engineer” by U.S.
standards, India produces just a hundred and seventy thousand engineers a year, not four hundred
thousand. Infosys says that, of 1.3 million applicants for jobs last year, it found only two per cent
acceptableThere was a time when many economists believed that post-secondary education didn’t
have much impact on economic growth. The really important educational gains, they thought, came
from giving rudimentary skills to large numbers of people (which India. still needs to do—at least thirty
per cent of the population is illiterate). They believed that, in economic terms, society got a very low
rate of return on its investment in higher education. But lately that assumption has been overturned,
and the social rate of return on investment in university education in India has been calculated at an
impressive nine or ten per cent. In other words, every dollar India puts into higher education creates
value for the economy as a whole. Yet India spends roughly three and a half per cent of its G.D.P. on
education, significantly below the percentage spent by the U.S., even though India’s population is muc

The economic progress is impressive disallowing the government to take tough decisons

Based on the given passage find out which of the statement can be inferred from the passage
Skeptics argue that flying saucers and UFOs that are believed to be guided by extraterrestrial beings or
aliens are creations of human imagination. They have demonstrated that a number of photographs that
apparently show flying saucers are either phony or are misinterpreted images of earthly or natural
objects such as aeroplanes or meteros. However, there are scientists who have also contributed plenty
of evidence and asserted that aliens do exist.
Lack of credibility of photographic evidence should be taken as proof of non existence of aliens
While the existence of flying saucers and UFOs has been denied, the possibility of alien beings is
still a reality
UFOs and flying saucers, if a reality, are of the same shape and size as aeroplanes
The fact that a number of photographs of flying saucers are fake cannot disprove the existence of
aliens and UFOs

Essay

Write an essay on below topic as per the directions given
"How do you manage between professional and personal life?"
Directions 1. Please express your opinion on the given topic in 220-250 words. You advised to adhere to
the word limit to avoid any scoring penalty. 2. Common grammatical rules, punctuation should be
according to standard English

" All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". True to this saying, we all are running in a rat race where everybody wants fame, success, prosperity all at
once. So, we are basically pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones to get the things done properly, which is a really good thing. But, have you ever
wonder, that are we really living the life we wanted to be in?. Are we giving sufficient time to our parents , or most importantly, to ourselves? .The answer is
a big "NO". No, we are not really happy with what are we doing everyday, in spite of being a workaholic . Here come what should we do to maintain a
balance between personal and professional life.
First, find out your strengths and focus on it, and outsource others. Second, prioritize your time to do your most urgent work like to-do list. Thirdly, whenever
you feel low , try to read a book or listen to music or give some time to your friends and family. Fourthly, sometimes when life gets really exhausting, it is
pretty important to throw off your negative energy, and in order to do so, you need to work out to your fitness regime or to do some meditation, or swimming.
It kind of acts to cleansing out your toxic traits that affects work sometimes.
In a conclusion , I would like to say that, nothing is impossible to anyone as long as well as he or she gets committed to it. Having a perfect personal and
professional life is equally important to anyone , and we must find time in both the zones that would be creating a balance. In this way, we would live in a
harmony with everyone.
