KEY POINTS

Impediments in Skilling youths

·        There were very few who support vocational education, primarily due to deep-rooted social prejudices against working with one’s hands as it is considered lowly and demeaning.

·        Lack of Cooperation and Communication with other ministries related to skill development.Eg: Ministry of Skill Development Enterprise at the launch of Skill India in 2015 made no mention of the Ministry of Human Resources Development as a partner.

·        Skill India has also been afflicted by insufficient industry partners and the failure to attract genuine skill knowledge providers.

·        Lack of horizontal integration with Ministries, State Governments, Industry partners.

·        Inadequate industry interfaces in vocational education and training system.

 

Measures for Skilling youths

·        The university system in vocational education can bring in uniformity throughout the country in terms of enforcing the National Occupation Standards and National Skill Qualification Framework.

·        Creation of  National Skills University.

·        Certification of skills training in India must be standardised, in order to ensure the quality of delivery and trust among employers.

·        A long-term skill development strategy must account for persistent gender gaps in training and labour force participation rate.
