Importance of creating skilled india
- 2. INTRODUCTION • The main aim is to guide the youths in a manner so that they get employment or start their own business. • Skill development refers to the identification of skill gaps and developing the existing skills to enable a person to achieve his/her goals. • Under this programme even jobless and dropouts will be given value addition by providing certificates that will be recognized by private and public agencies including overseas organizations after successful completion of a particular skill development programme &enable the youths to get blue-collar jobs. • Skill India also provides training options for the traditional type occupations such as carpenters, welders, cobblers, tailors, nurse etc. as well skill development will
- 3. • India is facing a paradoxical situation, where on the one hand, youth entering the labour market have no jobs; on the other hand, industries are complaining of unavailability of appropriately skilled manpower. • The employment sector in India poses great challenge in terms of its structure which is dominated by informal workers, high levels of under employment, skill shortages and labour markets with rigid labour laws and institutions. • Vocational education and training are crucial for enhancing the employability of an individual, by facilitating the individual’s transition into the labour market.
- 4. NEED FOR SKILLED INDIA• The idea is to raise confidence, improve productivity and give direction through proper skill development. • Skill development has been considered one of the critical aspect for job creation in India. • India has unique demographic advantage with more than 60% of the population is in young age group. • Skill development is critical for economic growth and social development. • The demographic transition of India makes it imperative to ensure employment opportunities for more than 12 million youths entering working age annually. The skill development issue in India is thus pertinent both at the demand and supply level. • Skill development is an important driver to address poverty reduction by improving employability, productivity and helping sustainable enterprise development and inclusive growth.
- 5. • When compared to other developed and developing countries, India has a unique window of opportunity for another 20-25 years called the “demographic advantage”. • If India is able to skill its people with the requisite life skills, job skills or entrepreneurial skills in the years to come, the demographic advantage can be converted wherein those entering labour market or are already in the labour market contribute productively to economic growth both within and outside the country. • The major challenge of skill development initiatives is to address the needs of a vast population by providing them skills which would make them employable and enable them to secure decent work leading to improvement in the quality of their life

- 7. HISTORY OF SKILL DEVELOPMENT
- 8. • The National Skill Development Mission was approved by the Union Cabinet on 01.07.2015, and officially launched by the Hon’ble Prime Minister on 15.07.2015 on the occasion of World Youth Skills Day. • And is implemented through a streamlined institutional mechanism driven by Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE). Key institutional mechanisms for achieving the objectives of the Mission have been divided into three tiers, consist of a 1)Governing Council for policy guidance at apex level, 2) a Steering Committee 3)Mission Directorate (along with an Executive Committee) as the executive arm of the Mission.
- 9. Initiatives aimed at skilling unemployed youth to make India the skill capital of the world. Basically they are 3 categories and are (i)govt. managed and funded organization (ii)Private managed and govt funded organization (iii)Private funded and managed organization • Some of the initiatives are: 1) Ministry for Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE) 2) The National Skill Development Corporation India (NSDC) 3) Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) 4) National Apprentice Promotion Schemes and Drivers. 5) National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) • As well NABARD also took initiatives for Skill Development Programmes (SDPs) .
- 10. ISSUES TO SKILL GAP • The lack of access to good education and training keeps the vulnerable and the marginalized sections into the vicious circle of low skills; low productive employment and poverty. • The marginalized group which includes rural poor, youth, persons with disabilities, migrant workers and women constitute the highest number of poor. There are two major problems with the existing workforce that is already supposed to be skilled. • 1)poor quality of labour force who have general education up to secondary level or those having vocational training and got employed. • 2)Educated labour force who are not able to find jobs matching their qualification due to lack of technical or soft skills • The above factors lead to the mismatch between the skills that are currently available in the educated or trained labour force on the one hand, and the type of skills that are actually in demand from employers on the other hand.
- 11. • While skills training is being actively promoted by the government and its partners in the private sector and industry, it is not an aspirational career choice among the youth. • Vocational training is perceived as a fall back option rather than mainstream career choice. This bias is observed amongst employers who pay higher salaries to entry level engineers compared to experienced workers who have done vocational training. • Thus, along with issues of capacity, quality and employability, attitudinal factors about how skills training is perceived by both potential trainees and employers need to be addressed.
- 12. FROM ORGANISATION PERSPECTIVE • Skills development always leads to competitive advantage. In order to be the best, you need to have something that nobody else has. • Growth is very important personally and in an organization. Employees need to stay learning in order to grow. • Organizations should not only focus on those who already have leadership positions, but should also focus on developing and grooming those in junior level positions. • The most important reasons for skills development in an organization are: It is essential for employees to not think of what they do as a job, but rather a career. When you groom and develop skills, they soon learn what they are doing is more than just a job or a means to an end. • The world is moving fast and rapidly changing. Employers need to make sure that their employees are skilled and are well equipped to deal with these rapid changes.
- 13. CONCLUSION • The employment landscape is rapidly changing and new jobs are emerging with fast disruption in business models around the globe. Therefore, the need to build a skilling system which would enable the workforce to adapt and match the new requirements, a system that responds well to business needs and also provides new opportunities for all. • Skill empowerment in traditional sectors were traditional skills in Handicrafts and Handloom sectors from their previous generation and they further extend to new generations. But skills are dying because they are not cost effective and hence cannot survive in the competitive market, unless marketed properly. • If these skills can be linked with the livelihood option then with proper training, packaging and marketing, it can survive and provide these people financial independence.
