KEY POINTS

·        The government’s skilling missions from the past and the current flagship scheme, the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), have helped. But the PMKVY dashboard says only 75% of those certified have been placed so far.

·        Of the 49.72 lakh enrolled for short-term training, 45.37 lakh have been trained and 37.58 lakh assessed—only 19.75 of this lot have been reported by the training partner as placed.

·        India’s the working class is likely to see falling employment opportunities with the pandemic having badly bruised MSMEs.

·        Dedicated skills universities, such as the one run by TeamLease, are probably a good idea where, in association with industry organisations, students can get a diploma along with some basic education.

·        The government can, wherever possible, provide some kind of stipend since students may need to give up their jobs as well.

·        Another crucial factor to get the skilling ecosystem right would be to have an easy-access electronic platform that matches skills available in villages and small towns to the job opportunities in the nearby cities as well as elsewhere in the country.

·        Companies must play a big role too, either through CSR or through direct involvement in skilling. Else, the country faces an employment problem that could get increasingly challenging with each year of delay.
