Abstract
India produces roughly a million graduates every year, yet only 3% are appropriately employable to skillfully accomplish productive jobs. About half of the country's people being young people, this presents a remarkable opportunity that can be tilized for the social, economic, and sustainable growth of the nation. Although India boasts of having approximately 3.4 million skilled workers, the country will need around 500 million skilled workers, according to a report by ILO (Indian Labour Organisation) by 2022. This proposition presents an imperative national priority to be addressed by addressing the issue of skill gap. Skill building is very important for making the aim of “Make in India,” a campaign announced by the current prime minister, Mr. Narendra Modi. This chapter seeks to address the issue of skill gap and strives to present some key suggestions for skill building.
