The Centre's three-pronged initiative of Skill India , Make in India and Digital India will transform the employment scene of the country, says a Rajasthan Minister.
Thelabour reforms brought out by the state government have been widely appreciated and were proving to be a game changer, Minister of State for Skill, Employment and Entrepreneurship Surender Pal Singh TT today said at the 9th edition of CII's Skills and HR Conclave here.
The central government was also taking steps to implement a similar policy in labour reforms, he further said.
During the 'Resurgent Rajasthan' summit, 11 MoUs were signed with leading companies to improve the skill ecosystem in the state thereby enhancing employment opportunities for the unemployed youth, he added.
Earlier, Rajasthan Minister for Social Justice & Empowerment & Minority AffairsArun Chaturvedi said there was a close link between education, a degree and finally a job.
He recalled that during his student days, they had agitated for a degree being linked to employment.
Chaturvedi said it was unfortunate even today a large number of educated young men and women are unemployable because of not having a particular set of skills.
He urged organisations like the CII to join hands with the government to set up skill development centres for training the large young workforce of the state and the country.
Gaurav Goyal, Commissioner of Skills, Employment & Entrepreneurship & MD, Rajasthan Skills & Livelihood Development Corporation (RSLDC), said the quality of school education in rural areas needed to be considerably improved since even class 5th students lacked the basic skills of language and arithmetic.
Four out of 5 engineers in India were unemployable, he said adding the apprenticeship reforms were required.
They have already empowered themselves through education and requisite skills and need to perform their jobs which will also bring about a social change.
Joint Managing Director & Co-Founder of NIIT Limited, P Rajendran said that entrepreneurship is in the DNA of Rajasthani industrialists and businessmen.
With the call made forStartup India , new opportunities will come in the State for employment, he added.
