Retail Sector – the different paradigm Dr. Reju IAS

Dr. Reju IAS

There is a cardinal difference in the skill paradigm of India and the Kerala context. When the whole country enjoys demographic dividend, Kerala witness a shrink in the young population. Our country is marked by large scale endeavors like Make in India, Digital India etc; but Kerala couldn’t emerge as a successful follower. Lastly, the dilemma in the vocational trade is a looming concern. The youth population in the state is not yet ready to embrace entry-level jobs in any industry. Dr. Reju M. T. IAS, CEO, ASAP called for a deep thought of retailers while delivering the inaugural address. Despite all, the industry in Kerala is retail embedded. Irrespective of sectors, the presence of retail is ubiquitous; hence it is inevitable to handhold the potential and future of the retail sector for the sustainable growth of the Kerala economy. He eulogized the efforts of retailers in Kerala. He pointed out that ASAP is committed to living up to the expectation of industry and willing to tackle training demands in the industry. Dr. Reju urged the participants to play a constructive role in the skill development initiatives of the retails sector in Kerala and the ASAP initiatives.
