Abstract

A skilled workforce is a fundamental element of a vibrant economy and sustainable livelihood in any country. In the recent past, India has launched various skill-building initiatives/models to enhance and increase the skilled workforce. The existing models have yielded good results in identifying the skill needs of the country. However, it has lacked in implementation, monitoring and identification of trainers and trainees. Also, the existing model has been lagging in setting up proper training infrastructure for imparting skills among the beneficiaries. Besides, the current models are ineffective in addressing major challenges including societal perception and awareness. With fast-changing industry requirements and the growing aspirations of youth, changes in the skill development strategies are the need of the hour. In this paper, we explored the existing skill development programs run by the Government of India in public and public-private partnership models. After a thorough and systematic analysis of the existing model and by comparing it with other models, we propose a technological intervention-based model for sustainable skill development programs in India. It may act as a one-stop solution to bridge the skill gaps by involving all stakeholders, including beneficiaries, industries, government, and trainers/training centers.
