The skill development requirement in India is shaped by the country's rapid economic transformation, and the need to bridge the gap between education and employability. India has one of the world’s largest youth populations, but a significant portion lacks the skills required for current & future job roles.

The current scenario says that over 62% of India's population is in the working-age group (15–59 years). However, only 20–25% of the workforce is formally skilled, compared to 50–75% in developed countries. Large gap exists between education qualifications and market-relevant skills. The informal sector dominates employment (around 80%), with limited access to training & learning.

Having very good Key Government Initiatives like Skill India Mission (2015), National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs), Sector Skill Councils (SSCs), National Education Policy 2020, etc. the crucial challenges those need attention are- Mismatch between training and job requirements, Inadequate quality control and limited standardization in training, Limited awareness in rural and semi-urban areas, Lack of industry participation and on-the-job training, etc.

On one side there are huge manpower requirements and on other side, there are many unemployed people. The difference is due to lack of employability education, skill set and mindset.

Localizing training & coaching through industry cluster specific requirements.

Role specific skilling the underprivileged youth (10th / 12th pass/fail) so as to enhance employability

Industry specific readiness programs for new entrants (ITI, Diploma, UG/PG Students)

Bridging the skill gaps of working professionals for sustainable growth

Strengthening the monitoring, certifications, and assessment standards

Enhancing industry-academia relevant collaborations

Promoting apprenticeships and dual education models

Enhancing Operational excellence to create brighter opportunities.
