The motive of this work is to identify the skilled and excellent home guards and to predict such optimized and interested home guards in their earlier educational studies using Bayesian theorem. The details of home guards dataset are collected from Tamilnadu Home Guards, Coimbatore District. Nearly 317 records are used in this workout of them 262 are male and 55 are female which is less than 20%. It is able to identify that youngsters are much interested in working as home guards.
