THE BAGAR PARADOX

BEI was established with a single point focus of providing quality training to rural youth to bridge the gap between the urban and non urban students. The training would empower them to snatch a job in fighting situations. In the last year or so we have opportunities of delight when a student or two of our institute managed to grab a job at uban elite centres like LIFESTYLE  and others. But this year the delight and difficulty is different. Not one but two of our students were offered a job at this place but they refused citing the salary was too little . This offer was finally taken by  a student who was not earlier selected and is working there right now. The challenge that now appears is what is the scale that as an institute we should be looking for our students. Bagar being , socially and educationally rich compared to other rural area presents a paradox. The not rich are influenced by the rich and the migrant population in the middle east so a job offer of 5000 or so seems petite. On the other hand there are people who are ready to work even for 2000 thousand or less. The challenge here is to how to develope a strategy that caters to all. Otherwise in future the refusal of students will dent our relationship that we have built with potential employers
