India has been steadily progressing towards becoming a knowledge-based and innovation promoting economy. But to compete in the ever evolving competitive world, India requires a new generation of educated and ultra-skilled people with an enhanced ability to create, share, and use knowledge successfully. Developing skilled educated population enhances the efficiency and economic growth output of any country and improves the job creation and mobility scenario.
In this context, there is an urgent need to develop innovative approaches for the skill creation outside the formal education system in developing countries like India that are struggling with the population boom. The Government of India's Coordinated Action on Skill Development has brought about a paradigm shift in addressing the issues of relevance in skill development, the gaps in skill development and objectives of skill development education focusing on quantity, quality, outreach, and mobility while building on the foundation.
Many schemes initiated by GOI such as Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) under the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship are aimed:
Skill development is the shared responsibility of the key stakeholders including the Government, the entire spectrum of the corporate sector, community based organizations, highly qualified and dedicated individuals who have been working in the skilling and entrepreneurship space for many years, industry and trade organizations, and other stakeholders. Skill development in nations leads to improved employability and productivity in paving the way forward for inclusive growth in the country.
