Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship is mandated to lay down a roadmap for Skill development and Entrepreneurship in the country. Developing a comprehensive and holistic policy document is an integral part of the process. This requires a fresh look at the already existing National Policy on Skill Development (NPSD), 2009.

The Ministry has been in the process of drafting a National Policy for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship 2015. Preliminary inputs were called for from all concerned Central Ministries/Departments on the work being done in the skill development and entrepreneurship space along with issues/concerns in the sector. The draft National Policy has been developed based on these preliminary inputs and in consultation with various stakeholders during the course of last six months. It is now desired to have wider consultations on the draft policy to develop a cohesive vision and roadmap for skilling India with speed, scale and standards.

The key focus areas are as follows: 5) Integrating Skill Development and Entrepreneurship in the School Curriculum 6) All existing universities should be incentivised to start the Institute of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship 7) Create a Think Tank of International Faculty Members and Professionals to advise the ministry on an ongoing basis to evolve strategies on an ongoing basis 8) Scrap the concept -ECR (Emigration Check reqd.) for easy outflow of skilled workers out of the country

There has been serious problems in mobilising students for Skill Development as students are interested in getting Govt/Banks/PSU/Insurance Companies etc, the questions asked in the above entrance exams are on English/GK/Reasoning etc but nothing on Skills, so Lakhs of Students go for coaching classes for the above and not interested in Skills Training.Need to make job exams skill based and give maximum weightage to Skill certificate in recruitment to the above category jobs to facilitate skills

The draft skill development policy needs drastic revision to achieve skills with speed, scale and quantity. The focus in above policy is on ITI and Polytechnic upgradation which is not at all enough as parents are reluctant to send their wards to ITI or polytechnics. All professional and non professional courses to be mapped to NSQF from class 8 to post graduation. Entry for B.Tech should be after ITI certificate and polytechnic diploma only. Limited Direct entry for B.Tech/BE to be allowed

Being such a critical topic, I must say that assigning the RIGHT people to RIGHT places is must and missing. Most apt carpenter, never travels to Greece/Iran. Most apt actor never performs at New York City Square and most talented student never tops due to his shy nature. All because, We don't have right teachers, JUNIOR managers, coaches to SPOT and GROOM such talents before they get wasted into labyrinth of society. Brief: SPOT and Grow the talent before they are lost!

1) (Re)define and implement minimum wages for labor. The wage should be practical enough that one person can survive in rural or urban area. (2) Also strictly implement them. These two will boost confidence of youth to get into any skilled job. Currently most of them are afraid that they may not be able to survive with just skills. We need to acknowledge that an under-educated or uneducated person can also be highly skilled. However, his next generation refuse to do the same coz its lesspaid.
