Skill Development is the process of identification of the skills gap in youth and providing skilling training & employment benefits to them. Skill development programs aim to acknowledge the ability of the youth and extend their support by serving them with the proper guidance, infrastructure, opportunities, and encouragement that help them achieve their ambitions. Education and skills are essential for everyone, and they both walk hand in hand in everyone's career journey. They are the roots behind the economic growth and community development of a country. Therefore, both central & state governments are continuously making efforts to provide skill development to the youth with their skilling partners around the country.

Challenges:

• Low intrinsic "aspiration quotient" resulting in low demand for vocational skilling programs.
• Employers cite the shortage of skilled employees as a constraint
• Skill development scenario is still evolving with different agencies handling the same agenda, absence of standards, lack of training capacity.
