why skill development
A report by Mckinsey states that, worldwide young people are three times more likely to be out of work today than their parents. Interestingly this is attributable, according to the report, largely to shortage of people with critical job skills rather than shrinking employment opportunities. Thus, many nations are facing a situation where, potential employers are facing great difficulty in sourcing and engaging persons with the desired skill sets, while the number of unemployed youth is increasing at an alarming rate.

While the gap between demand for skilled manpower and its supply seems to be a global phenomenon, the problem appears to be far more acute in India as compared to rest of the world. Government of India, in its National policy document on Skill Development has placed the skill deficit gap, which needs to be plugged by 2022 at a staggering figure of 500 million. According to a report by National Skill Development Council (NSDC), only 5 per cent of India's 400 million strong labor force have received any formal training in comparison to 70 per cent in Germany and 95 per cent in South Korea. In India, only 1.5 to 2 million (2 per cent) students in the age group of 15 to 25 are enrolled in vocational education and training every year, as against 80 per cent in Europe and 60 per cent in East Asian nations like Malaysia, Korea and Taiwan.

60 per cent in East Asian nations like Malaysia, Korea and Taiwan.
With such a huge skill gap, even if the other factors holding back growth are resolved, India is unlikely to once again reach a position from where it can aspire to attain a double digit growth figure. In the last five years, several government initiatives have been taken to address the issue of skill deficit, and efforts have been made to bring the civil society and the corporate world on one platform. Several models of skilling have evolved over the years with a common objective of providing quality training which is also industry sensitive. 
Since more than 60% of the 128 lakh Indians who are estimated to join the work force each year are likely to be from rural areas, ultimate success of skill development programmes will depend on the effort being made in mobilizing, skilling and placing rural youth
