When we talk about Skill development, we talk about how it is an imperative driver, which improves employability, productivity and takes a nation towards inclusive growth. In the same manner, Skill development holds the key to India’s ability to tap the vast potential of its youth and — India has a unique window of opportunity in terms of its “demographic advantage”.

With one of the largest working populations in the world, India’s 61 per cent of the population comes under the working population bracket. In this regard, it has become extremely important for an individual to learn new-age skills, enhance the practical knowledge and vocational skills to be industry-ready.

To get a broader view on the imperativeness of skill development, PBNS has an exclusive conversation with Pravir Arora, (Chief Marketing Officer of Aptech)

In the coming years, India will generate a demand of millions of skilled workers and by harnessing the growing skilled workflow, a lot of key sectors will get benefited and at the same it will fulfil the demand of new-age and emerging sectors as well.

The importance of imparting skill training to the youth is well-recognised and has been flagged as a national priority for almost a decade.

Further, the government is making tireless efforts so that India’s youth can fulfil their potential and meet their aspirations while contributing to India’s progress, with significant initiatives being launched by the Government.

From Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana to Skill India, which are working towards skilling the workflow of the country. Further, efforts are being made to raise the natural standard of education, partnering with developing nations to raise the country’s skill standard and by promoting the adoption of new technologies.

While these initiatives continue the efforts to provide training in more advanced skills, we require a more coordinated approach from various stakeholders, which can enlarge the network of training programmes and ensure that training is closely aligned to make India a global skilled workforce.
