These young people find themselves unemployed or unsuitable for many jobs.                 It is true that after spending six or seven years in a college or a university they dream of a bright future.  But had their thoughts been moulded and had they been properly guided, they would have preferred to train themselves in some field and instead of studying aimlessly they would have been earning for their families.                 Lately, this need has been felt and a number of vocational courses have been taken up by colleges.  Slowly this vo...
