SKILL DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA

“Today the
sworld focuses on trade in goods but in future the core issue will be how to get skilled people.
We need to work in this direction” – Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, July 2014.
Based on data from the 68th Round of NSSO, it is estimated that only 4.69 percent of
India’s total workforce has undergone formal skill training, compared with 52 % in USA, 68% in
UK, 75% in Germany, 80% in Japan and 96% in South Korea. As majority of the Indian’s are
youngsters an immediate and effective action is required to build skills and make India as Skill
India. In a recent survey conducted, India is occupying a second place in skill shortage with
64%, where as Japan (81%), Brazil & Turkey (63%), Mexico, Australia, Greece, US (40%), Italy
& Canada (32%), China & France (22%), UK (12%), Spain (3%) occupy the least skill shortage.
Despite the creation of the National Skill Development Fund (NSDF) in 2009, the launch
of the NSDC in the same year, and creation of the NSDA in 2013, progress to date has been
sporadic. Based on the Census 2011 and NSSO (68th Round) data, it is estimated that 104
million fresh entrants to the workforce will require skill training by 2022, and 298 million of the
existing workforce will require additional skill training over the same time period.
To overcome this India should concentrate more on apprenticeship, integrating Skill
Development initiatives with curriculum, Making cluster with SME and deliver the skill
development program to absorb the skilled workforce, along with Smart cities , create smarter
villages through rural skill development programs to explore the local resources and ensure
market access/connect to sell the product/services, a thorough performance evaluation of the
existing skill development programs and corrective measures, vocational courses starting from
the school level, programmes on creativity linking skill India with Start-up India.
