Executive summary
In the wake of the rapidly increasing demand-supply gap and global competition, it has become imperative for organizations to ensure an adequate supply of skills and optimize their use. However, the worlds population is ageing fast. By 2040, the global population, aged 65 and above, is expected to reach 1.3 billion more than double of 530 million in 2010. This trend is expected to result in severe labor shortage across the world. Shortage of skilled workers is expected to be acute in some of the worlds largest economies, including the US, France and ?]jeYfq& On other hand, India has the distinct advantage of having one of the youngest populations in the world. The country has a very large pool of young English-speaking people and has the potential to meet the skill needs of other countries and also cater to its own demand for skilled manpower. Ironically, most industries in India are currently struggling with scarcity of skilled labor. Although more than 40 million people are j]_akl]j]\ af ]ehdgqe]fl ]p[`Yf_]k$ gfdq (&* eaddagf _]l bgZk& This is because the current education system does not train young people in employable skills that will open up immediate employment opportunities for them.

It has formulated the National Policy on Skill Development and set a target for providing skills to 500 million people by 2022. Various stakeholders are involved in this process. In the current framework, the Ministry of Labor & Employment is running various schemes and has set up industrial training institutions across the country. Other ministries such as the Ministry of Human Resource Development, the Ministry of Rural Development and the Ministry of Urban Development & Poverty Alleviation have also launched their skill upgrading programs and self-employment schemes.

Knowledge is the engine that drives the growth of an economy. In order to remain competitive, all countries and organizations have to attract human resources with new and innovative skills.

If this skill gap is plugged, India can become the hub for skilled manpower, with it being capable of building a skilled manpower surplus of approximately 47 million by 2020.

its people toward innovative and integrated skill development with the aid of outcome-based orientation. The time is ripe for Indias political and administrative authorities to initiate actions that will enable achievement of these goals.

Skill framework in India
Kcadd \]n]dghe]fl af Af\aY2 an overview5
As India progressively moves toward becoming a knowledge economy, it has become imperative for its work force to acquire and upgrade skills that are relevant in the emerging economic environment.

However, the key challenge faced by Indians aspiring to work abroad is recognition of their credentials. In terms of higher education, what India primarily lacks is not engineering or medicine talent, but skill \]n]dghe]fl af af^gjeYd k][lgjk km[` Yk Y\n]jlakaf_$ fYf[] and design. It is therefore imperative for India to upgrade the skills of its large number of young workers by imparting vocational education and training to them.

Last year (2010), we concentrated on formal higher education. While universities are important, we must not forget that a huge number of high school graduates do not enter formal higher education. India, therefore, needs a strong vocational education network such as that in the US.
Due to the varying quality of Indian education systems, only 25% of the countrys professionals are considered employable by multinationals.

Upgradation of 1396 ITIs through PPP Objective: The scheme aims to upgrade 1396 ITIs with private sector participation at an estimated outlay of INR35.5 billion. Methodology: Under the scheme, an industry partner collaborates with an ITI to upgrade it. 9f AE; ak [gfklalml]\ oal` l`] af\mkljq hYjlf]j$ o`a[` is granted an interest-free loan of up to INR25 million. The partner is also given the authority to determine up to 20% of the admission in the ITI. The state government retains the ownership of the ITI and regulates its admission and fees. Achievement: Industry partners have been assigned the task of to upgrading 924 ITIs. Year 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11

Coverage: There are around 254 group industries covered under the Act and around 24,815 establishments, which engage trade apprentices. The scheme has imparted training to 2, 11,218 apprentices in 235 trades till now. Industry participation: As of now, the apprenticeship training scheme has not been highly successful on account of its rigid norms, limited private sector participation and low stipends. Hiring of apprentices by the private sector needs to be changed from being employer-enforced to voluntary hiring. The rules, in the form of cumbersome [gehdaYf[] hjg[]\mj]k Yf\ afkh][lagf Zq dYZgj g^[aYdk$ can also be made less stringent. This is likely to enable the private sector to voluntarily hire apprentices. It is therefore imperative that the scheme is made development-oriented rather than regulation-oriented.
ITIs upgraded 300 300 300 24 Center of Excellence Scheme Objective: These centers provide multi-skilling courses in 21 industry sectors. Pedagogy: The courses are imparted in three parts, i.e., training in basic skills (broad-based basic training) for a period of one year, training in advanced modules for six months and training in specialized modules, mainly in the industry.

Specialized skill training or vocational education continues to be a critical area of concern in the Indian context. Only 2% of the Indian workforce is formally skilled. While there are 12.8 million new entrants in the workforce every year, the existing training capacity can only address a small proportion of that. India has marginally improved its performance in basic education and vocational training, while its competitors have made much higher gains in this area over the previous decade. In South Korea, 96% of the workers receive formal skills training; in BYhYf$ 0( j][]an] l`ak ljYafaf_3 af ?]jeYfq$ l`] _mj] ak /-$ followed by the UK with 68%.

Therefore, the system adopted by India should emphasize and focus on basic courses. In addition, advanced courses can be developed for reemployment or further specialization. Apprenticeship is an important method for training people in most countries. India needs to follow this method and expand its capacity to effectively train its large young population. It is apparent that there is a need to transition from a supply-driven to a demand-driven model in india. Furthermore, the participation of the industry in content design and curriculum is essential for keeping the VET framework updated and creating market-linked employability opportunities.
