Lack of quality employment opportunities for Kolkata's youth.
Employment remains one of the most pressing concerns facing the youth of Kolkata today. Every year, thousands of students graduate from colleges and universities with dreams of building successful careers and contributing to society. However, many of them struggle to find jobs that match their qualifications, skills, and aspirations. While education opens doors, the lack of sufficient employment opportunities often leaves young people frustrated and uncertain about their future.
One of the most visible consequences of this problem is the migration of talented youth to other cities. Many graduates move to Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai, and Delhi in search of better career prospects. This trend not only affects individuals and families but also results in a loss of skilled talent for Kolkata. When educated young people feel compelled to leave their home city to achieve professional success, it raises important questions about local economic development and job creation.
