The human capital, armoured with proper education, training, and skill sets, can lead to economic development. Talent demand and supply analysis enables the creation, management, and delivery of actionable insights for enhancing the effectiveness of the prospective manpower. India is a fairly diverse country culturally, geographically, socially, and economically. However, this enormity has also delivered a disproportionate development, which broadens as we move towards the North-East Region of India (NER). The NER has portrayed extreme economic possibilities with its varied biodiversity and the long international border with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries. India has tried since long to conquer the skill battle forefront, for which a wave of initiatives was launched in the form of the National Skill Development Mission in the entire country since 2014. This would help India to attain its ambitious goal of building a training ecosystem for a minimum of 300 million people by the year 2022. The present study attempted to understand the talent supply in Sikkim using a drill-down approach. The approach attempted to provide insights into the talent prospects in India followed by NER and Sikkim. The present study was conducted using descriptive analysis using secondary data of passed out talents, the data for which were collected from the All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE). The study illustrated the district wise, program wise, and discipline wise cumulative contribution trend in Sikkim from 2011 – 2018. The study contributes to the knowledge of the talent pool comprising NER, with a special focus on Sikkim.

Abstract


The human capital, armoured with proper education, training, and skill sets, can lead to economic development. Talent demand and supply analysis enables the creation, management, and delivery of actionable insights for enhancing the effectiveness of the prospective manpower. India is a fairly diverse country culturally, geographically, socially, and economically. However, this enormity has also delivered a disproportionate development, which broadens as we move towards the North-East Region of India (NER). The NER has portrayed extreme economic possibilities with its varied biodiversity and the long international border with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries. India has tried since long to conquer the skill battle forefront, for which a wave of initiatives was launched in the form of the National Skill Development Mission in the entire country since 2014. This would help India to attain its ambitious goal of building a training ecosystem for a minimum of 300 million people by the year 2022. The present study attempted to understand the talent supply in Sikkim using a drill-down approach. The approach attempted to provide insights into the talent prospects in India followed by NER and Sikkim. The present study was conducted using descriptive analysis using secondary data of passed out talents, the data for which were collected from the All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE). The study illustrated the district wise, program wise, and discipline wise cumulative contribution trend in Sikkim from 2011 – 2018. The study contributes to the knowledge of the talent pool comprising NER, with a special focus on Sikkim.
