Abstract :
The skill development of the labour force is a priority for Indian planners. Today, everyone wants to start a successful career, so workers in the unorganized sector need to receive the right skill development training. Several plans for skill development have been released by the Indian government. They must strongly emphasize skill development initiatives and support people in using their skills and knowledge. Moreover 60% of the population in India is under the age of 25, and every year, another 28 million young people join the country's labour market. This gives India a distinct demographic advantage. However, demographic divided and employability from such a big workforce must be improved as just 10% of recent grads are currently employable, according to current figures. India’s GDP has been growing at a great rate of around 8.2% in the last year but job creation is not catching up with it. The skill development programmers’ are recently getting more importance in the government's policy in India, especially in the New Education Policy 2020. There is always a shortage of skilled workforce in every sector of the economy. The skill is directly related to the labour's marginal productivity and income level. The tribal area people still lack skills which force them to come under the undeveloped region. To bring the tribes into the mainstream of development, they must be educated, trained, and converted into skilled workers.
