Skill India is one of the most ambitious programmes launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which aims at bridging the gap between demand and supply for skilled manpower, thereby increasing the skilled workforce in the country.
As per Indian government statistics, 65% of Indians are under the age of 35 and by 2025, almost 1 in 5 of the world’s working age population will be an Indian.
The government record also stated that in last one year, more than 1.04 crore youth have been trained under theSkill India Mission.
“The biggest achievement of the Modi Government was the formation of a separate Ministry for Skills, which has covered considerable ground since its formation in the field of skills. This brought Skills, Vocational Training and Livelihoods as an important means of nation-building to the forefront, which was much required in our country,” said Siddharth Chaturvedi, Director, AISECT, one of India’s skills based educational network.
In India, skill development is an important milestone as the fad over traditional degrees still exists in the country. As the cut-offs are increasing and so are the drop-out rates, it has become pertinent to skill the youth and make them fit for employment.
“There is wide mismatch in industry demand and labour force supply. Globalization and competition has intensified the need of skilled work force in India. It is important to scale up skill development initiatives of Indian government and partner organizations. Studies show that countries with highly skilled human capital have high GDP and per capita income level. So, there is a need for both, skill development and formal education,” said Chaturvedi.
Talking about skills, India is a vast country and each state has a different kind of requirement. For instance, if Jammu and Kashmir requires more manpower to boost tourism, Madhya Pradesh has a requirement for hardware, education, health, etc.
But, there are some skill sets that are required across the country. Here are the 10 skills that are in demand and they can fetch you a starting salary of Rs 8,000-Rs 15,000 per month.
