The document discusses the current state of science education in India, highlighting that many students choose science as a fallback option rather than a passion, primarily due to better job prospects in professional fields. It emphasizes the need for a transformative approach to education, suggesting changes in curricula to include skill development alongside academic learning, as advocated by former President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. The document proposes that integrated action is necessary for India's development across key sectors, aiming for a nation that upholds equitable access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities.

- 4. The condition of science in India: A serious issue Truly, the majority of science students are those whose second choice was science. The majority of science stream students at the higher secondary level which is the basic level on which a major decision effecting the whole career is taken, do so to get a chance to go to the various engineering and medical courses. The reason for this is the better job prospects. Here I would like to add a fact that as far my knowledge goes, very few of the academicians who are in science send their progenies to the science fields. The reason is very simple. They do not like their children to face the same problems which they faced in their life. The same reason is applicable to the fact that most of the science graduates lose a year or so on the average in trying their hands at different professional courses. This is the period when much of the scientific temperament and enthusiasm most needed to excel in science gets suppressed. This trend can be verified by the views of the majority of higher secondary boards’ toppers throughout the country. In majority of cases, they dream of only civil services and other professional courses. Importantly, the theoretical science courses in the JEEs get lower priority and even those who opt for them prefer to go abroad. The situation warrants something effective and drastic to be done to raise the rating of science as a career.

Abdul Kalam “In decades, India will need 300 to 500 million employable skilled youth and there is a need to completely change the university education syllabus and secondary school education syllabus. Two certificates should be given to students. In schools, one skill certificate and one education certificate and in college, degree and diploma on the expertise acquired. In schools from classes 9 to 12, 25 per cent of the time has to be allotted for skill development programme,” Speaking on the occasion of third Malti Gyan Peeth Puraskar 2015 in New Delhi

Mobile skill development laboratory Make Education System More Skill- Oriented, Says Former President APJ Abdul Kalam "We have approximately 9,000 schools in Delhi but all of them don't have the same resources. Therefore, I suggest that mobile skill development laboratories should be introduced for the benefit of the students. "The mobile vans will be ICT enabled and will have the mechanical and chemical engineering set up. There will be a pre-defined schedule for the van and it will cover two schools in a day," he said. http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/make-education-system-more-skill-oriented-says-former-president-apj- abdul-kalam-777659
