In a bid to address this issue, most of the economies, as industrialisation grew, gradually drifted towards service and manufacturing at the cost of agriculture sector. This transformation has been truly disruptive weaning many away from their traditional source of earning and employment. Survey conducted among youth by the University threw out 3 findings that 1. There was a charm for completing graduation among youth 2.They were looking for on the job training and 3.employability along with education. Sectors of interest for work were Sports, Banking and Finance, Healthcare, Manufacturing and IT in that order. Sector which seemed to have the lowest interest among youth was agriculture.
