RE: [MTC Global] National Skills Universities draft Bill under inter-ministerial consultation

I think skills development is meant for those who are really not interested in higher education but do so to improve their chances of employment with a degree in hand. Such youth can be developed into specific skills immediately after the school program and they will be better employed.

Firstly, Unemployment , by itself, is not a major issue in India.  Almost 90% of grads/ PG even from the last ranked institution- are finding jobs somewhere. It doesn't matter which job but they are carrying on - with no career visioning & no fire. I hardly find any unemployed grad or PG desperately seeking a job. If some one finds a better job, they will switch over or keep working in lowly paid jobs for decades. They do not seek guidance or want counselling.

 

So, Unemployment is rampant & has become a societal problem in the 40 to 80 age group. Almost 60 to 70% in this age group are under employed , unemployed & have no work. But they are ready - where is the work???

 

Market reports state that only 18% of our Engg grads are employable ; 82% are not employable & lack skills needed for industry. But reality is different. Candidates are not interested in improving, any skill, barring a small percentile. 

When there is no burning desire to excel & lack of fire in the belly, what skills & skills development we are talking about. 

Corporates are doing their best .They cannot take mediocre talent & compete.

 

THE NEED OF THE HOUR IS A MASSIVE THRUST ON VALUE BASED EDUCATION & INCULCATING WORK ETHICS IN SCHOOLING.

So long as we keep focusing on jobs and placements for employment , the problem is not going to be solved because we need new job providers too to meet every increasing demand for jobs.

Blaming corporate sector for unemployment is wrong. They pick up as many people as they need from India only and they have a right to pick the best out of the lot. 

Dr. Jagannath Reddy has rightly stated that :

It is a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complicated, ambiguous) world:

And if you are not prepared to face the world blame game and looking to government and/or corporate sector or anybody else is not going to help.

Unless the scheme is linked with placements/jobs , mere  numbers have no significance. That has been the bane of the initiative of NSDC. Besides directly helping the unemployed youth, Placements will validate  assumptions wrt supply-demand gap on specific skill sets and also endorse the level of skills needed by the Industry.

It is a skill certification and reward scheme where in trainees after their successful assessment and certification, get monetary reward through direct bank transfer to their account. The scheme has the target to benefit 24 lakh persons with training of 14 lakh fresh entrants and certification of 10 lakh persons under Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
