1. Methodology:
The research design is descriptive research and attempts have been made to
analyse the skill gap in different districts of Gujarat. This investigation is aiming
towards the socio-economic profile of the state, emerging trends in skill and skill gap
analysis at district level. The study is based on primary and secondary data both
which have been collected by different research method.

The study has been done in all 33 districts of the Gujarat. Primary data has been
collected about the socio-economic demographic background, satisfaction level
about existing training and requirement for future training. The data has been
collected to know the youth aspiration in the field of skill development.

Besides, data has also been collected from industries regarding demand of skilled
persons and their expectation from youth in the field of handling new job roles
emerging in different industries.

Secondary data has been collected from Gujarat Government’s official websites,
Policies and frameworks, different ministries’ official websites Ministry of Small,
micro enterprises, Ministry of Human Resource Development, Directorate of
Economics & Statistics, and other academic researches. Qualitative and quantitative
analysis have been made on the basis of data collected from different sources.

2. Demographic Profile:
Strategically located on the West Coast of India, Gujarat is a Gateway to the rich
land-locked Northern and Centre Vicinity of the country. Gujarat spearheads the
Indian march for the “Global Economic Super Power” status with access to all Major
Port based Countries like UK, Australia, China, Japan, Korea and Gulf Countries 1,
etc. It is India’s most industrialized and urbanized state. With roughly 6% of India’s
geographical area and 5% of its population, the state accounts for almost 8% of
India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Gujarat has geographical area of 1.96 lakh
sq. kms. and accounts for 6.19 percent of the total area of the country. At present
state comprises 33 districts and 251 talukas2.

2.a Population:

https://gujecostat.gujarat.gov.in/
With only 4.95 per cent population share 3, Gujarat is the on-9th position in India. The
population of Gujarat is 661.00 lakh4 comprising 319.52 lakhs males, 341.36 lakhs
females and .13 lakhs third gender population. In comparison with the Census 2011,
change in total population is from 603.83 lakh to 661 lakh in year 2019 with the
growth rate of 1.18 percent per year. Besides, the rural population of the state was
379.4 lakhs and the urban population was 281.4 lakh. In the last decade, the rural
and urban population of the state has increased by 32.4 lakh and 24.4 lakh
respectively.

In current population projection, preference is also given to the population of third

gender in the state. There is still a significant difference between the number of male
and female population in the state. Total male population is 341.36 lakhs and female
population is 319.52 lakhs. The population of third gender is .13 lakhs which is 4.6
percent of total population of third gender in the country. Sex ratio in Gujarat was
found 923 (per 1000 male) with 948 (per 1000 male) in rural areas and 877(per 1000
male) in urban area5. Ratio of female to male Labour Force Participation Rate
(LFPR) (15-59 years) is .28. This gives an insight to ensure women's full and
effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision-
making in political, economic and public life. Operational land holding gender wise
(percentage of female operated operational holdings) is 16.49 percent. Land holding
shows the equal rights to economic resources, as well as access to ownership and
control over land. The three districts viz. Ahmedabad, Surat and Rajkot are
contributing 30% of the total population of Gujarat. Nearly 42% of the State's
population resides in the 5 districts viz. Ahmedabad, Surat, Rajkot, Vadodara and
Bhavnagar. Ahmedabad is the most populous district in the state recorded a
population of 76.85 lakh followed by Surat district with a population of 73.46 Lakhs.
Dang, Porbandar, Tapi and Narmada are the least populated districts in the state.

2.b. Population growth trends:

Gujarat has a population growth rate of 15.47%% during 2011-2021. Population
growth rate in Gujarat had been on the rise till the 1970s after which a minor but
steady decline was observed. In 1910 Population of Gujarat was 90 lakh & Year
2021 it reached 6.6 Crore, an increase of almost 6 Crore. If we look into the
population projection for upcoming years bases on fertility, mortality and migration
rates, the state is showing a steady growth in population 6. Being a state of
opportunities and growth, the state attracts more and more people to migrate.
Urbanization, development and industrialization are some of the important factors
resulting in steady growth of population.

2.d Urbanization
Urbanisation is a part of the development process. In the state, it is faster where
newly established industries and ancillary activities continuously provide jobs to
people who wish to migrate to cities. The economic pull of cities in this phase of
development becomes particularly strong if industrial growth is fast, and in spite of
high capital intensity industries offer jobs in increasingly. Gujarat ranks among the
most urbanized states in India with about 42.5% of the state’s population living in
urban areas. The state has 8 Municipal Corporations and 159 municipalities and
some of its cities are among the fastest growing in the world.

2.e. Female literacy:

An analysis on the basis of sex has shown that male literacy rate in the state is 89.5
percent and female literacy rate is 74.8 percent 10. Female literacy rate in the rural
area is quite low i.e., 68.0 percent and in urban area it is 86.3 percent. There is a
noticeable gap of 17.3 percent between rural and urban female literacy rate.

2.f. Higher/vocational education:

In the Gujarat State, at present 345 government secondary and higher secondary
schools have introduced vocational education scheme11. For this, 400 vocational
trainers are working in the state. The number of institutions imparting secondary and

higher secondary education has increased from 12445 in the year 2019-20 to 12709
in the year 2020-21. Whereas, the number of students has decreased from 28.67
lakh in the year 2019-20 to 28.43 lakh in the year 2020-21.

The number of institutions imparting higher education has increased from 2504 in the
year 2019- 20 to 2613 in the year 2020-21. Also, the number of students has
increased from 15.27 lakh in the year 2019-20 to 16.14 lakh in the year 2020-21. The
number of girl students during the year 2019-20 were 6.77 lakh; which increased to
7.12 lakh in the year 2020-21. While, the number of teachers in these educational
institutes were 60908 in the year 2020-21.

2.g. School education:

The number of educational institutions imparting primary education in the State were
45023 in the year 2020-21 as against 45315 in the year 2019-20. The number of
pupils enrolled in these schools were 84.65 lakh in the year 2020-21 as against
86.14 lakh in the previous year12.

2.h. Dropout rates

The process of decreasing dropout rate for elementary level (Std. I-V) is encouraging
in the state. The dropout rate for elementary section (Std. I-V) has decreased
substantially from 22.30 percent in 1999-00 to 1.37 percent in 2019-20. The dropout
rate for the standard I to VIII has been recorded 3.39 percent in 2019-20 13. Among
male students, the most common reason for drop out from the school is engagement
in economic activities followed by child not interested in studies and financial
constraints. On the other hand, female students dropped out from the school due to
engagement in domestic activities.

The state stands on first position in the country against the target assigned in SDGs
2030. In every year, analysis is held in the filed of Maternal health, under 5 mortality
rate, deaths in traffic accident, HIV cases, institutional delivery and availability of
medical staff. The MMR is 75 per 1,00,000 live birth which is an indicator of good
health system and mother’s wellbeing. This is directly related to the availability of
medical staff in the state. There are 41 medical staff present per 10,000 persons.
Also, 99.5 percent of total deliveries are held at health institution. In the presence of
medical staff, there is less chances of maternal death. Mortality rate under the age of
5 years is 31 per 1000 live birth against the target of 20 per 1000 live birth. The state
government has taken health initiatives to control the death rate.

the Per Capita Income at current prices is estimated to be Rs. 150326 showing an
increase of 18.5 percent as compared to previous year.
Per Capita Income at constant (2011-12) prices is estimated at Rs. 94270 and Rs.
85110 for the year 2019-20 and 2020-21 respectively. During the year 2021-22, the

Labour Participation Rate17 (LPR) per 1000 persons from 15-59 age group in the
state, based on current daily status, stood at 38 percent as per PLFS 2017-18.
Female labour force is about 15.4 percent which is very less. Although the LPR has
performed better than the national average overall, a major worry is the low level of
female involvement in both urban and rural areas. Due to the dependency of the
rural female population on agriculture and related activities, urban regions have
lower rates of female labour force participation. Most of the labour force has at least
a high school diploma. Only 36.8% of people lack literacy. The percentage of
diploma holders is rising.

2.l. Migration:
International Migration: In 2007-08, the emigration rate from Gujarat was about 3 per
1000 population compared to 4 per 1000 at all India level. The people from the state
migrate to other country in search of employment, studies, for seeking a better life
and prestige in the society.
International Migration Pattern in Gujarat
Saurashtra region has highest
migration rate mainly Rajkot,
Bhawnagar, Jamnagar and Amreli districts. Vadodara, Surat and Bharuch in South
Eastern region, Ghandinagar, Ahmadabad and Anand in Northern plain region and
Patar in Dry & Kachch Region have maximum number of international migrants.
Mostly people migrated from the
state to United States of America,

Skilled workers: clerical and sale
High skilled workers: Professional, managers, administrators,

Ahmedabad, Rajkot, Jamnagar, Vadodara
and Kachchh; domestic work to Ahmedabad Construction Industry

and to large cities; and migration to

prosperous agricultural areas. The migrants Brick klin Industry

are mostly unskilled labourers. Rate of

migration in profession field, skilled workers Diamond cutting and polishing industry

are less in comparison to the unskilled one.

Textile and power loom and garments
The major cities like Ahmedabad, Vadodara,

Engineering and electrical industries

Domestic Work
Surat, Rajkot of the Gujarat are full of migrants whether they are from different areas
of state or they are from other states.
Just like International migration, this scenario as well has facing challenge of
unskilled labour force. This indirectly effect the livelihood status of the individuals.
There is high need to train them according to industry’s requirement so that they can
match the working standard and get better pay.
In migration from other states: Some of the well-known migration streams are
internal migration of tribal workers to Saurashtra Region; migration of workers from
Madhya Pradesh and other neighbouring states like Maharashtra to agriculturally
well-developed regions in Gujarat, worker from Rajasthan in the cotton fields in north
Gujarat etc.
2.m. Worker participation rate:
According to the Labour Participation Rate 18, Gujarat's Worker Participation Rate (WPR) per 1000
people in the 15- to 59-year-old age group is 36.2 percent. Although there is a sizable difference in
participation rates between urban (37.0 Percent) and rural (35.1Percentl areas, with rural areas
having higher participation rates, the seasonal nature of agricultural work would result in
underemployment for a sizable portion of the state's agricultural workforce force, particularly in the
Saurashtra region. At 4.8 percent in the 15- to 59-year-old age range, the proportion of young
people who are unemployed falls below. In order to ensure employability, skill development efforts
must be implemented to address the unemployment problem.

3. Economic Profile:
The economic growth of Gujarat state in the last two decades has attracted a lot of
attention from academia, policymakers and journalists. Several factors, such as
growth in industrial sector, impressive growth in agriculture despite poor rainfall,
infrastructure development like extensive road network and availability of electricity,
rapid urbanization along with entrepreneurship, a historical edge in commerce and
trade and ease of doing business have all contributed to the sustained growth and
development of the state. Even in the wake of successive droughts, earthquake of
2001, macro-shocks like the worldwide recession in 2008, demonetization in 2016,
and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Gujarat has displayed remarkable resilience
power to emerge successful.
Gujarat has become the place of choice for the world's investors in Infrastructure,
Ease of doing Business and Ease of Living. According to the Department for
Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), in FY21, Gujarat received the
highest FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) at US$ 21.89 billion and stood at the top of
all states, with 30% of the total equity inflows19.

Socio-Economic Review 2021-22: Gujarat State (March 2022). Directorate of Economics & Statistics, Gov. of Gujarat
The Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) price in 2020-21 has been estimated at
Rs. 16,55,917 crores as against Rs. 16,29,638 crore in 2019-20 registering a growth
of 1.6 percent during the year. The share of primary, secondary and tertiary sectors
has been reported at 19.8 percent, 42.9 percent and 37.3 per cent respectively to the
total GSVA in 2020-21. The pattern of growth is decreasing in primary sector,
increasing in secondary and tertiary sector in comparison to 2011-12 which were
22.8 percent, 40.5 percent and 36.7 percent respectively. At current prices, Gujarat’s
GSDP is estimated at Rs. 22,03,062 crores in financial year 2022-23 with an
increase of 13.3 percent.
The main growth driver of the state has been manufactured sector and it has
contributed 30% of GSDP, which is highest in the country. However, the share of
services is 32.4 % in year 2020-21 as compared to share in services sector at 54%
in India’s GDP.
Here, we look into the growth of the state in sectors i.e., primary sector, secondary
sector and tertiary sectors with a view point of present status, government/private
initiatives, plans and policies in the sector. This gives us a clear picture about the
upcoming demands of the skilled human resource for managing these areas
3.a. Primary Sector
In the socio-economic context of Gujarat, Agriculture has a very significant role, as
more than 40% of the State population is directly or indirectly dependent on it for
their livelihood. Crop and Livestock sector contributes ~15% in the state's GVA
reflecting its significance. Contribution of agriculture and allied sectors (crop and
livestock sub-sector) to the state's nominal GVA(Gross Value Added) has declined
from 17.80% to 14.20% during FY 2011-12 to 2020-21. The major reasons for the
decline are increase in GSVA contribution of manufacturing & services sectors and
decrease in net sown area due to factors such as erratic rainfall in the past few
years.

3.a.1 Fisheries

Gujarat cover about 20.00 % coastline, 32.03 % of Urban areas of coastal region of
the country and gulfs (gulf of Camby and Gulf of Kutch) created suitable environment
for the fisheries development. Exclusive economic zone of Gujarat is estimated to be
2,14,060 sq.km and among the biggest ports of India Kandla and Porbandar port is
also situated in Gujarat. The state acquired first position in marine fish production
and in the export of marine product and considering top most state among all
maritime state of the country. The total fish production was 654572 tons in 2003-04
while in 2017-18 it reaches to 8.35 lakh tones. Out of that 1.34 lakh tones were the
contribution of the inland fisheries and rest (7.01 lakh tones) from marine. In 2017-
2018 marine product exported from Gujarat was 312586 metric tons amounting
955.68 crores money value20. This year contribution of Gujarat was 22.7% in term of
quantity while 11.24% money value with respect to Indian export fishery.

The export of processed fisheries products is the industry which is under

consideration of government for more investment and strategic plan development as
till date programs and policies developed are focused on growth of production,
quality of the produce, and involvement of more and more people in this sector. This
industry has a potential to absorb new entrepreneurs in the field of food processing
of fisheries and their product for export.

3.a.2 Dairy

The animal husbandry sector of Gujarat plays a vital role in GSDP of the state by
contributing about 5.08 % share to it. Moreover, the state has a huge livestock
population of 26.9 million21. However, deficiency of feed and fodder followed by
inadequate breeding and reproduction and increasing diseases among animals have
emerged as major challenges among livestock farmers. Also, Gujarat’s contribution
in export of milk from India (19% in 2019-20) is much less than that of Maharashtra
(28%), the leading exporter from India, reflecting the untapped potential of dairy
sector.

This industry is already a grooming industry in the state. However, the perspective
from production has been changed to agro-processing, quality assurance of
processes food. There is a great scope of skilling in this industry as new companies
also invest in the milk product manufacturing. The need for skilled manpower will
increase as the industries will enter in the market.

3.b Secondary Sector:

This consists of manufacturing, Industrial Infrastructure and export sector broadly.

Secondary sector is the largest contributor in Gujarat’s Gross Domestic Product out
of the three economic drivers of Gujarat.

https://cmogujarat.gov.in/
3.b.1 The manufacturing sector: It has contributed around 32% to the overall
GSDP during FY 2015 to FY 2020. Gujarat is the no.1 state in India in terms of share
of manufacturing sector in GSDP. It is the top recipient of FDI among states, with a
37 per cent share of total FDI equity inflows. The sectors of computer software &
hardware and construction & infrastructure-related activities are the major
contributors during FY202122. Competency has identified focus sectors and
subsectors on the basis of current investment, global demand, value addition,
employment intensity. Focus sectors identified are; 1) Food Processing, 2)
Automobile, 3) Apparel, 4) Basic metals, 5) Electronics, 6) Electrical machinery &
equipment, 7) Pharmaceuticals and 8) Textiles.

3.b.2 Industrial Infrastructure:

In the Gujarat Industrial Policy launched in August 2020, a lot of emphasis has been
placed on the state’s industrial infrastructure. While the industrial infrastructure in
Gujarat is already well developed with multiple land options and industrial parks and
clusters for investors in different sectors, the new policy includes many new and
improved benefits.

More notably, the policy stresses focus on infrastructure which is environment-

friendly thereby, declaring its commitment towards sustainable industrial
development and focus on preserving industrial activity for the future to come. This
pivot towards measures to encourage industry to adopt environmentally-sound
methods is a noteworthy one and it makes Gujarat one of the first states in India to
do so. Around 35,000 acres of supply in terms of developed industrial parks is
available (vacant plots) offered by the government and private industrial parks. Out
of this, around 77% is supplied by private industrial parks and rest from the
government estates (GIDCs, PM MITRA Park, Bulk drug park, Dahej SEZ, Biotech-
park, DSIR, SIPC Kandla). At district level, Kutch has the highest land supply with
around 32% share followed by Bharuch (28%) and Ahmedabad (18%)23.

3.b.3 Export Sector

Gujarat’s manufacturing exports stood at USD 101 billion in FY 2022. On an average

(FY 2015 to FY 2019), exports from Gujarat contributes around 34% in overall

5.b. Estimation of Man power supply:

The manpower supply estimation has been made based on total population of age
group of 21 to 25 years, total working age population in 21-25 years old people, and
net labour force from 21-25 years. The estimation has shown incremental supply
trends across the districts over the period of 5 years. Surat has shown highest
manpower supply estimation with 3,31,290 followed by Ahmedabad and Vadodara.
Three of them are major cities and industrial hub of the state. The youth population
also concentrated in these districts. Dangs, Amreli and Gir Somnath has shown
estimated lowest supply of manpower. These districts are small and have low
population. Please refer to table below for more details.

5.c. Candidate aspiration mapping

The analysis of candidate aspiration mapping has been done on the basis of primary
data and it has been found that there is a huge gap in candidate aspiration and
industrial aspiration for manpower. Across the districts, Marketing, BPO, Health care,
chemical, IT-ITES, Transport, HR, manufacturing, leather articles manufacturing,
textile, Metal and mineral processing and food processing are the sectors having
high aspiration level among the candidates. The youth are willing to work more on
technical courses. Agriculture and allied sectors, automotive repair and livestock-
based industries are some of the sectors having low aspiration level by candidates.

5.d Analysis of labour supply/ demand:

The analysis of labour supply and demand is made based on manpower supply,
manpower demand and candidate aspiration in the districts. Manpower demand are
majorly found by industries of Manufacturing, Construction, Trade, Retail &
Hospitality, BFSI, Real Estate, Administration & Other Business Services, Logistics &
Transport, Communications, Electricity, Gas & Water Supply, Health & Social Work,
Agriculture & Allied Industries (incl. Crop Cultivation & Production), Mining &
Quarrying, Education sectors. On the other hand, if we look into the aspiration
mapping, the candidates are willing to work in Marketing, BPO, Health care,
chemical, IT-ITES, Transport, HR, manufacturing, leather articles manufacturing,
textile, Metal and mineral processing and food processing. The demand of the
industries is matched with candidates’ aspiration in Retails, Health, Education, and
Manufacturing.

The manpower supply estimation has included unskilled and skilled labour both and
as per industrial demand. Districts have shown more labour supply than labour
demand. However, there is a need to study the unskilled and skilled labour supply
and demands for in depth analysis. In coming five years, the state has shown
potential growth in different sectors classified as sunrise sectors. These sectors will
show demand of technically trained personals to play different job roles. The
changes in industrial development demands a modified training structure so that the
youth/Sc/St/Women/Pwd will able to get hand-in job in their own state.

6. Skill Profile

The Gujarat Skill Development Mission is the policy body in the state led by the
Education Department. Different agencies under various ministries manage the
implementation of skills-related schemes at the district and block levels. For
example, the Development Support Agency of Gujarat (D‐SAG)30, an autonomous
society set up by the Tribal Development Department (TDD), manages skill-related
schemes for the Department. Its overall responsibility spans all aspects of the skilling
ecosystem from training and placement to monitoring and reporting. The actual
implementation is sub-contracted to training partners (using government and private
ITIs as venues).

Over 20 Ministries are involved in Gujarat's skill development initiatives, although

some large national schemes are managed by the Ministry of Labour and
Employment. These schemes include the Craftsman Training Scheme (CTS),
Apprenticeship Training Scheme (ATS), eMPOWER, and Kaushalya Vardhan
Kendras (KVKs). The KVKs in particular target rural youth through Kaushalya
Sabhas/Skill centers in villages with a population that is greater 5000. These KVKs
provide targeted trainings and incentives to SCs, STs, Women, and BPL and
handicapped individuals. Over 500 of such KVKs have been established, and have
trained 12 lakh individuals, of which 7.28 lakh are women trainees.

In order to create appropriate skilling opportunities for its population and adapt skill
training to industry demand, Gujarat has also implemented its own state level
30
https://dsag.gujarat.gov.in/high-quality-skill-training
schemes for skilling. Some popular ones are UMEED, Society for Creation of
Opportunity through Proficiency in English (SCOPE), and Superior Training
Institutes.

Private training providers: The state has about five large private training providers:
Team Lease, Larsen and Tubro, Bosch India Foundation, AISECT and Infrastructure
Leasing and Financial Services (ILandFS). AISECT has by far the largest presence
in terms of reach with about 250 established training centres. Bosch and LandT
provide skills training as part of their CSR initiatives – making skilling one of three-
four priority areas (other priority areas typically include environment and education).

Private sector involvement in skill development is mostly through CSR engagement

in the State. Each company tends to identify priority areas for skilling such as training
for women, for rural youth, and so on. For example, Essel Foundation extends
support to an Apparel Manufacturing Centre in Jamnagar which trains local women
in tailoring and stitching, and creates new business for them by establishing linkages
with markets. It has also set up its own Advanced Welding Centre in partnership with
the Government which enables candidates to get a certificate from ESAB (a high-
end welding institute, Swedish), greatly helping employability.

Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) which employs about 24 lakh people in the State,
spends over INR 700 Crore in CSR annually (pan India). In Gujarat, it invests in
several skill up-gradation and vocational training programmes for unemployed youth
of villages around Reliance units to enhance their employability. RIL has developed
its own network of 12 schools in and around the manufacturing units of the company
at Jamnagar, Surat, Vadodara, Patalganga, Nagothane and Nagpur, benefitting
more than 15,000 students. To-date, about 62 percent of RIL’s permanent workforce
and 49.5 percent of its permanent women employees has received safety and skill
upgradation trainings through classroom as well as web-based training programmes.

Similarly, the Bank of Baroda which employs about 50,000 people in Gujarat spends
approximately INR 7 Crores in skilling activities through its CSR programme. The
Bank has established Baroda Swarozgar Vikas Sansthans for imparting training to
unemployed youth, free of cost, towards gainful self-employment and
entrepreneurship skill development. This helps such youth improve their economic
status and also gives a boost to various regional economies in rural and semi-urban
areas.

In order to maximize scale of such operations and increase efficiencies in the skilling
system (currently, several piecemeal efforts are on-going in the State), the Gujarat
government will need to collate all these various activities conducted by the
corporate sector as well as under different government schemes. Based on
stakeholder consultations, it can then be decided which trades, sections of the
population and type of skilling engagement should be carried out by which entity. For
example, if rural youth in a particular geographic zone can be better reached through
an existing company in the area (through CSR or private training provision), then the
Government need not set up an ITI in that area, but can instead discuss ways to
support corporate efforts to continue/expand its training operation.

10. District-wise new and emerging job roles

11. Recommendation

Recommendation at policy level:

There is a high need to update Qualification Packs of courses provided by different

government platforms with addition of new QPs as per industrial requirement. The
Sector Skill Councils have also delisted the QPs as per the industrial demand.

The updating would be based on New Education policy, district level scenarios after
covid pandemic and new sunrise areas like Industry 4.0 Manufacturing, Green
Energy (Solar and Wind), Electric Vehicle and components, Eco-friendly material,
Waste Management, 100 percent Export Oriented Units

Recommendation for Gujarat Skill Development Mission:

41
http://gujaratpcpir.org/
The plan for skill development would be prepared on the basis of demands from
industries at district level. It would be aligned with National Higher Education pack
and through intersectoral intervention with Kaushal University this new skill demand
can be achieved.

There is upcoming demand from Sunrise industries. The action plan would be
prepared specifically focused on fulfilling the demands.

Course structure for Sc/St/women/Pwd has to be made as per the industrial

requirement. These people are facing discrimination in term incentives, job role
recognition at office. The new course structure will help in empowering these people.

Recommendation for Private Player:

The industries would provide infrastructural support for providing skill training and
practical understanding of on field job roles. These industries would act like Subject
matter specialist in designing course curriculum for upcoming courses.

The skill training would be matched with hub of industries having similar job roles
which lead easy access to trained manpower.

For providing industrial skill training sustainable plan would be prepared. The
financial support could be provided by government in the form of scholarships to the
students and skill financing by different financial institutes

Recommendation for District Administration:

The district administration would involve skill development in the district plan. It
should include disadvantages section of Sc/st/women/pwd, integration with different
Industries

The district administration must involve private players and promote them in
spending CSR funds in Skill sector.
