Skills and knowledge are the driving forces of economic growth and social development

of a country.

problem is two-fold. On one hand, there is a severe paucity of highly- trained quality

labor, while on the other large sections of the population possess little or no job skills.

skills have to be relevant to the emerging economic environment.

Out of the current workforce of about #$% million, only about &'-%' are engaged in the

organi(ed)formal sector. In India, less than $' of the workforce has undergone formalskills, as compared to *&' in +eico, $' in S, /$' in 0ermany and %1' in South
