Skill development has been considered as the backbone of economic development. Entrepreneurship, skill development and new venture creation has long been a driving force in commercializing new technologies and developing new markets, creating new jobs, and growing economies . It has been well established that the level of economic growth of a region, to a large extent, depends on the level of entrepreneurial and skill development activities in the region. Government of India has launched National Skill Development Mission and National Skill Development Policy. The national policy on skill development envisages to creating opportunities for all to acquire skills throughout life and specially for youth, women and disadvantaged group, promoting commitment by all stakeholders to own skill development initiatives, developing a high quality skilled workforce, entrepreneurs relevant to emerging employment market needs. The policy has widened the scope of skill training and entrepreneurship development through utilizing the existing educational infrastructure and expansion of institutions engaged in skill training and vocational education. Government of India has also introduced several schemes, programmes and projects for providing training, vocational education and entrepreneurship development to youth, women and disadvantaged groups. In view of the high national priority, several state governments have also introduced state Policy for Skill development and established State Skill Development Mission with vision and strategic plan. Against this view point, present paper purports to review the policy and gender perspective of skill development and its leverage to make in India.

Abstract


Skill development has been considered as the backbone of economic development. Entrepreneurship, skill development and new venture creation has long been a driving force in commercializing new technologies and developing new markets, creating new jobs, and growing economies . It has been well established that the level of economic growth of a region, to a large extent, depends on the level of entrepreneurial and skill development activities in the region. Government of India has launched National Skill Development Mission and National Skill Development Policy. The national policy on skill development envisages to creating opportunities for all to acquire skills throughout life and specially for youth, women and disadvantaged group, promoting commitment by all stakeholders to own skill development initiatives, developing a high quality skilled workforce, entrepreneurs relevant to emerging employment market needs. The policy has widened the scope of skill training and entrepreneurship development through utilizing the existing educational infrastructure and expansion of institutions engaged in skill training and vocational education. Government of India has also introduced several schemes, programmes and projects for providing training, vocational education and entrepreneurship development to youth, women and disadvantaged groups. In view of the high national priority, several state governments have also introduced state Policy for Skill development and established State Skill Development Mission with vision and strategic plan. Against this view point, present paper purports to review the policy and gender perspective of skill development and its leverage to make in India.
