To raise awareness about the importance of investing in youth skills development, the United Nations General Assembly has decided to celebrate the first World Youth Skills Day (WYSD) on 15 July 2015.WYSD celebrations coincide with an important year of setting the agenda for the future: a new climate agreement and the adoption of the Sustainable Development goals are just around the corner. That is why this year’s theme is “Youth skills for work and life in the post-2015 agenda”. WYSD is in line with the upcoming Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030, which propose two goals on education and skills for employment:- Goal 4: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.- Goal 8: Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.

As the PM launched the World Youth Skills day today, we would like to seek your inputs on key areas where India has a skills gap.
It is critical that we identify these gaps accurately because by 2020, 60% of India's population of 1.3B will be in the working age group of 15-59 years. If adequately skilled, such demographics have the potential to make India a global HR powerhouse.
We look forward to your inputs!
Need is in the skill gap assessment - sector wise and regional wise. Sector Skill Council must look in to the skill demand in the sectors and regional wise. Based on the demand, efforts need to be put to bridge the skill gap in regional basis. Local self governments should monitor the training under NSDC/SIA.
Second, systematic efforts is vital to professionalize all the skill/vocational jobs. grade it as per the VQF. For eg. a person who do the cleaning work should feel proud of his job by its brand and demand
Thirdly, Industry Participation is essential in imparting the training. TSP should be empanelled to provide skill training
Fourth, Special attention requires in language training and professional grooming. Let's compare the standards of private and government schools. why our government schools are not sought after? training imparts is not in par with the current standards. It is a need of this hour to ensure transaction is in a professional and scientific. English language proficiency, comprehension and communication ability should be assured in schools.
Lastly, Government should start a job a portal/job register/mass recruitment drives to assure placements
All the best to Skill India Scheme !
