Chapter 1: Haryana at a Glance
1.1 Introduction
India boasts a young population, with over 54% below 25 years old and 62%
between 15 and 59 years old. This demographic dividend presents a golden
opportunity to establish India as the world's skill capital and a supplier of
skilled workforce globally. However, this advantage can turn into a burden if
the skillsets of both new entrants and the existing workforce do not align
with industry needs.
Recognizing this challenge, collaboration between academia and industry
has gained significant momentum. This emerging era of science-based
partnerships offers mutual benefits for both entities. Educational
institutions can provide industry-relevant skills and knowledge to students,
while industries can gain access to a pool of qualified talent and participate
in shaping future generations of professionals. Additionally, this
collaboration fosters innovation that addresses global challenges, ultimately
contributing to societal well-being and economic progress.
To study the Academia-Industry-Government Trinity for Fostering an
Effective Skill Ecosystem, a study is being undertaken in Haryana.
1.2 Demographic Profile of Haryana
Haryana has also made rapid strides in development of industrial sector.
Major industries in Haryana are automotive, IT, agriculture and
petrochemicals. Being a preferred destination for auto majors and auto-
component manufacturers, the State is the largest automobile hub in the
country. The Panipat Refinery (IOCL) situated at Panipat is one of the largest
refineries in South Asia. The State Government has committed in creating a
progressive business environment. With Haryana’s structural
transformation from an agrarian State to industrial State and services sector
recorded robust growth, the State has shown progressive development
towards achieving sustainable development goals. Though Haryana is
geographically a small State covering only 1.3 percent area of the country,
the contribution of the State to the National Gross Domestic Product at real
prices is 3.7 percent as per Quick Estimates of 2022-23.

1.3 Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP)
Haryana, with a population exceeding 25 million and a literacy rate of
75.6%, is a significant player in India's economic landscape. The state's
Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) experienced robust growth at 8.0% in
2023-24, driven primarily by the services sector contributing 50.7%, while
agriculture and allied sectors accounted for 16.2% and industry contributed
33.1% to the economy This underscores Haryana's potential for socio-
economic development.
(Ref: : Department of Economic & Statistical Affairs, Haryana)
The pace of structural transformation of the State’s economy remained
continued consequent upon the higher growth recorded in Services sector as
compared to other two Sectors during this period and onwards, the share of
Services sector in Gross State Value Added strengthened to 50.7% in 2023-
24 resulting in the decrease share of Agriculture and Allied Sectors (16.2%).
The contribution of Industry Sector has been recorded as 33.1% of the
Gross State Value Added in 2023-24. The share of different sectors in the
State’s

Fig 1: Sector wise composition of state’s Economy at constant (2011-12) price in 2023-24
The Agriculture and Allied Sectors have always been an important
contributor to the Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) of the State.
However, as a consequence of rapid structural transition of the State's
economy over the years, the contribution of Services Sector has increased
resulting in the decrease of Agriculture and Allied Sectors. The contribution
of Agriculture and Allied Sectors at constant (2011-12) prices has been
recorded as 16.2% of the GSVA during the year 2023-24.(ref: Economic survey of
India and economic survey of Haryana 2023-24)

2.2 Common Employment Portal
To streamline job placement and skill development efforts, the Haryana
government launched the "Haryana Rozgar Portal". This portal serves as a
unified platform connecting job seekers, employers, and training providers
across the state. As of the latest data available, the portal has registered
over 500,000 job seekers and facilitated more than 50,000 job placements
annually.
2.3 Shri Vishwakarma Skill University (SVSU)
Shri Vishwakarma Skill University, Haryana, earlier known as Haryana
Vishwakarma Skill University (HVSU) is a public state university established
by the Government of Haryana at Dudhola village of Palwal district of India.
Shri Vishwakarma Skill University (SVSU) University admitted 1076
students against 1510 seats in 39 programmes. University had affiliated 24
colleges in state to run vocational, under graduate and post graduate
programmes. Short Term Programs, Entrepreneurship Training Program
with the Global Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The University has launched the "SUPER 30" Entrepreneurship
Development Program (EDP) in collaboration with SIDBI. The program aims
to select 30 participants with innovative business ideas and skills through a
rigorous selection process for a six-month course.
This University has MoU/LoI with brands like NTPC, Cantabil, Spencers,
Country Inn by Radisson, EIH Group Oberoi Hotels, Ayush, etc. It also
Offers 47 skill-based programs at Diploma/UG/PG levels with industry
collaborations. SVSU on boarded 51 Industry Partners for On Job Training/
Internship of students and 19 Industry Partners
2.4 Curriculum Alignment with Industry Specifics
In collaboration with industry experts, educational institutions in Haryana
have revamped their curricula to align with industry-specific requirements.
For example, the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Kurukshetra has
introduced specialized courses in robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) to
cater to the growing demands of the technology sector.
2.5 Enterprises Promotion Policy, 2020
To establish Haryana as a competitive and favoured investment destination,
achieve regional development, export diversification and providing livelihood
opportunities to its people through resilient economic development Haryana
State has lunched the Enterprises Promotion Policy, 2020 which identifies
the following five pillars for holistic socio-economic development of the State:
1. Industry competitiveness

8. Page | 8
2. Balanced regional growth
3. Export development
4. Innovation and entrepreneurship
5. Robust industrial infrastructure
This policy places a special emphasis on development of the MSME sector
and their business growth. It envisages bringing up a paradigm shift from
being a regulator to a facilitator of MSMEs. A renewed focus on making
factors of production more cost competitive, further easing the regulatory
burden on the industry, ensuring balanced regional development, revival of
MSME sector, enhancing productivity and leveraging technological
progress.(ref: Haryana Enterprises and employment Policy, 2020)

Chapter 3: Challenges /opportunities for Academia-
Industry-Government Trinity for Fostering Effective
Skill Ecosystem in Haryana
3.1. Skill Mapping and Gap Analysis
In Haryana, the Department of Skill Development and Industrial Training
(DSDIT) conducted a comprehensive skill mapping exercise in collaboration
with industry associations and educational institutions to identify specific
skill gaps in key sectors like IT, automotive manufacturing, and agriculture.
The data collected reveals significant disparities between current skill
availability and projected industry requirements by 2025
Skill Area Current
Availability
Projected Requirement
(by 2025)
IT Skills 65% 85%
Manufacturing
Skills 45% 70%
Agriculture Skills 55% 60%
(ref: District wise skill gap study for state of Haryana)
It's clear that there are big differences between the skills people have now
and what industries will need in the future, by 2025. This suggests there's a
need for more training and education to bridge these skill gaps and meet the
future needs of these industries.
3.2. High dropout rate
Along with a significant gap between rural 49 literacy (71.42%) and urban
literacy (83.14%), Haryana also reports high student dropout rates at higher
levels of education which demands special attention. The main reasons for
the high dropout rate in Haryana are limited access to higher educational
institutes and poor quality of the colleges in the state.
Fig 2: Progression of Education in Haryana (enrolment in lakh at each level)
(ref: statistics of school education )

10. Page | 10
3.3. Lack of employability
The students/ trainees coming out of vocational and skill education streams
are not found employable. Industry integrated courses can help in improving
the employability. Industry Integrated courses for people who are fully or
partially employed with a view to skill and prepare them for better
employability. Multiple, small strength (30-60 seats), integrated, placement
assured programmes with industry partners customised to their needs can
be run under the aegis of Skill Universities.
3.4. Social Acceptability
The vocational and skills programmes are still considered a last resort and
not as an alternative choice to main stream/ formal education courses.
There is a stigma attached to vocational education and certificates and
diplomas. This is partly due to lack of horizontal and vertical movement
from vocational courses and careers into formal education.
3.5. High potential in service sector industry
Tertiary, that is, the services sector, employs 67.6% of the urban workforce
at present and contributes 51.7% of the GSDP. In contrast, primary, that is,
the agriculture and allied sector, employs 51.3% of the total (urban plus
rural) workforce though it contributes only 17.8% of the 8,9 GSDP. Thus,
the majority of the rural population which is employed in the primary sector
has only a slim share in the GSDP and therefore not able to come out of
poverty easily. It is a well-known fact that 85% of poverty reduction in India
is owed to the expansion of the tertiary and secondary sectors and 80% of
the total drop in poverty may be attributed to urban growth alone, spurred
by 10 tertiary activities. To foster the service sector growth the collaboration
is required
3.6 Collaborative Innovation and Research Advancement:
Collaboration between academia, industry, and government drives
innovation, facilitates resource sharing for enhanced research impact,
prepares talent for real-world demands, and ensures policy alignment with
societal and economic needs.

Chapter 4: Proposed Roadmap for Academia-Industry-
Government Trinity for Fostering Effective Skill Ecosystem
in Haryana
The collaboration among academia, industry, and government can play a
pivotal role in fostering an effective skill ecosystem in Haryana. This
partnership will ensure that the skills imparted through vocational and
educational institutions align with industry demands, thereby enhancing
the employability and productivity of the workforce. To achieve this goal, a
holistic approach is necessary, encompassing various stages of skill
development and employment. This holistic approach includes the
collaboration of all three arms at all stages, starting from the design of the
curriculum to final placement. The framework is detailed below:-
Fig 3: Stages of collaboration among the trinity of Industry academia and Government
4.1 Collaboration at Curriculum Stage
4.1.1. Academia, industry, and government should collaborate to
design and update curricula to reflect current industry needs and
technological advancements. This collaboration involves maintaining up-
to-date labour market information and actively engaging with government
agencies and industry associations. By leveraging this information,
curriculum designers can map the learning outcomes with the required
occupation which help to develop courses, content, and learning
materials tailored to specific industry needs. All the skill courses should
align with National Occupational Standards (NOSs) , National Skill
Qualification Framework (NSQF) keeping view of National Education
Policy (NEP) 2020 and National Credit Framework (NCrF).
4.1.2. Regular feedback loops established with industry experts will
play a crucial role in this process. Their insights into current industry

trends, technological advancements, and emerging skill requirements will
inform curriculum updates and revisions. By integrating industry
feedback into curriculum design, educational institutions can ensure
that their programs remain dynamic, relevant, and conducive to
producing job-ready graduates equipped with the skills needed to thrive
in the modern workforce.
4.2 Collaboration at Training Stage
i. Utilization of Educational Institute Infrastructure for Upskilling
Courses
Collaborate with industries to offer specialized courses like AI and
drone technology within existing educational institutes, utilizing spare
infrastructure effectively.
ii. Hub and Spoke Model for Upskilling and Reskilling
Establish skill development centres across universities to cater to ex-
situ trainees, offering short-term skill programs aligned with industry
demands.
iii. Integration on SIDH Portal
Integrate all industry ITI and academia on the SIDH portal, providing
real-time data on skill needs, courses offered and job opportunities to
stakeholders.
iv. Development of Stand-alone Independent Centres
Set up new centres from scratch with industry support, focusing on
specific skill demands and creating new training hubs.
v. Internship or On-the-Job Training
Industry-academia partnerships will facilitate internship and on-the-
job training opportunities for students. Hands-on experience in real-
world settings will complement theoretical knowledge, preparing
students for the demands of the industry. Currently around 67 Govt.
ITIs associated with various 198 Industries under the scheme Dual
System of Training (DST) but this number is required to be increased.
vi. Incentivizing the industry for on job training Govt intervention in
dual system of training scheme
To promote the dual system of training the Govt should start the
stipend to incentivize the industry adopting this dual system of
training scheme.
vii. New Age ITI
A provision should be introduced for the industry to open its own ITI
using the existing training and shop floor facilities within the
industry. This is an approach to innovative financing, wherein
industry can initiate courses in modern-day technology with minimal
additional investment.
viii. Adoption of existing ITI and upgrade the infrastructure

13. Page | 13
In this proposed framework, industries should be permitted to adopt
existing ITIs and establish new-age or modern technology courses to
facilitate training. For this purpose, an agreement or memorandum of
understanding can be signed between the government, industry, and
ITI institutions. Some state governments, such as Tamil Nadu, have
upgraded 71 ITIs, while Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka have upgraded
150 ITIs to establish Industry 4.0 courses with M/s Tata Technology
Ltd. The Haryana government should also adopt this framework and
upgrade the infrastructure of ITIs.
4.3 Training of Trainers and Professors
More than 50% of the posts of teaching staff in state run colleges of
Haryana are currently lying vacant, as per the latest information as many as
4738 sanctioned posts in various departments in government colleges in
the state of Haryana are lying vacant at present . The total sanctioned
strength of the teaching staff in Haryana College is around 8100.
To combat this shortage and maintain the quality of teachers to impart the
relevant skills the following methodology should be adopted in collaboration
with industry and Government.
i. Pool of teachers and subject experts from all universities and
industry: The government, in collaboration with academia and
industry, should identify a talent pool of trainers and subject experts
across all sectors, including the service, manufacturing, and allied
sectors. The roles and responsibilities of this repository shall include:
a. Reviewing the existing curriculum of vocational educational
institutions and higher education institutes within the state.
b. Suggesting the necessary changes in the curriculum.
c. Identifying areas where trainers and teachers require training.
d. Planning the annual training calendar for instructors of ITIs,
polytechnic colleges, and higher education institutes.
ii. Structured Upskilling Programs: Develop structured upskilling and
capacity-building programs tailored to the specific needs of trainers.
These programs should incorporate the latest pedagogical techniques,
technological advancements, and subject-specific knowledge to ensure
that teachers are equipped with contemporary teaching methodologies
and subject expertise.
iii. Industry Immersion by organizing monthly Sessions: Facilitate
regular interactions between academia and industry by inviting
experts from relevant sectors to conduct workshops, seminars, and
hands-on training sessions for teachers. These sessions will not only
expose educators to current industry practices but also provide

14. Page | 14
insights into emerging trends and technologies, thereby enriching
their teaching.
iv. Incentivize Continuous Professional Development: The state
government should take the initiative to introduce incentive and
recognition programs to encourage teachers to actively participate in
continuous professional development activities, such as workshops,
conferences, and online courses. The incentives can be as follows:
a. Linking the upskilling training programs with APAR/Appraisal
reports.
b. Recognizing and rewarding trainers for their commitment to
enhancing their skills will foster a culture of lifelong learning
and professional growth.
v. Digital Learning Platforms: Academia and industry should come
forward to develop the digital learning platforms and online resources
to facilitate self-paced learning among teachers. Provide access to e-
learning modules, virtual labs, and educational videos covering a wide
range of subjects and teaching techniques, thereby empowering
trainers to stay relevant to the latest educational trends and
methodologies.
4.4 Assessment
Government, industry, and academia will collaborate to develop
standardized assessment criteria and certification processes. Transparent
and credible certification will validate the skills acquired by individuals,
enhancing their marketability and employability.
Currently, the assessment process for short-term courses by awarding and
assessment bodies has a higher lag time. This issue can be addressed by
reducing the certification and assessment timeframe.
4.5 Placement and Entrepreneurship
The Directorate of employment administers the Employment Exchanges
(Compulsory Notification of Vacancies) Act, 1959, which is a Central statute
and the Rules framed there under. At present, 65 Employment Exchanges
and 3 Cells are functioning in the State. The Employment Exchanges
perform mainly three types of functions viz. Registration of applicants and
their placement, providing vocational guidance to job seekers and collecting
employment market information data from establishments in the organized
sector. The Employment Exchanges are rendering free services to employers
as well as to job seekers.

15. Page | 15
Emphasis has also been laid on promoting entrepreneurship among the
students. The State Govt. has made a budget provision of ₹ 50 lakh for
setting up of placement cells in 182 Govt. Colleges and ₹ 700 lakh for IT
scheme in 2023-24. A sum of ₹ 4.28 lakh was distributed to 4 Govt. colleges’
students of final years for organizing placement fares in year 2023-24.
Despite of all these efforts the placement scenario of the State is not so
good. the placement data of 2019 to 2020 is given below:
Fig 4: Placement data of 2019 to 2020 of Haryana (Ref: https://skill.haryana.gov.in/#/)
To further strengthen the placement and entrepreneurship the following
intervention is required to be done:
i. Integration of Haryana Rojgar Portal with SIDH Portal: To
streamline job placement and skill development efforts, the Haryana
government launched the "Haryana Rozgar Portal". This portal should
be integrated with the SIDH portal. This integration will help
trainees/students find the most suitable opportunities across the
entire country.
ii. Organizing Monthly Placement Events: The state government
should organize off-campus placement events monthly, inviting
industries from Haryana and other leading industries.
iii. Entrepreneurship Incubation Centers: Establish centers to nurture
entrepreneurial skills among students, providing mentorship,
resources, and networking opportunities to aspiring entrepreneurs.
iv. CSR Desk: The State government should establish a CSR desk, where
the employers can contribute to a corpus. By doing so, employers
would be entitled to a rebate in the CSR. Twenty-five per cent of the
corpus so collected should be spent skill development in the state.
Government should mandate this through appropriate notification.
The industry can utilise their CSR fund by building an institutional

partnership with the University. This will benefit the students by
enhancing their employment skill and industry by getting a skilled
workforce.
4.6 Research and innovation
i. Creation of Research Park to Encourage Growth of Enterprise
If Haryana Govt can establish a Research Park, a dedicated space
where researchers, entrepreneurs, and industry experts can come
together to exchange ideas, conduct research, and develop innovative
solutions. This park shall provide infrastructure and resources to
support the growth of enterprises, particularly those focused on
cutting-edge technologies and research-driven ventures.
ii. Tax Incentives for Academia-Industry Collaboration
A venture funds should be initiated to support innovative
entrepreneurship in the region. These funds provide financial backing
to startups and emerging businesses that are developing ground
breaking technologies or pioneering new business models. By
facilitating access to capital, these venture funds help entrepreneurs
turn their ideas into viable businesses, driving economic growth and
job creation in the state.
iii. Tax Incentives for Academia-Industry Collaboration
To encourage academia-industry collaboration tax exemption for all
expenditure on R&D where industry and academia work together
could be given and service tax for any royalty coming out of
technology transferred by an academic research institution to an
industry could be exempted.

17. Page | 17
Chapter 5: Conclusion
In conclusion, the collaboration between academia, industry, and
government is essential for fostering an effective skill ecosystem in Haryana.
By working together, these three entities can address various challenges and
capitalize on opportunities to bridge skill gaps, enhance employability, and
promote innovation.
A proposed roadmap outlines collaborative efforts at different stages, from
curriculum design to placement and entrepreneurship support. By
integrating industry feedback into curriculum design, offering specialized
courses, and providing hands-on training opportunities, stakeholders can
ensure that students are well-equipped for the workforce.
Furthermore, initiatives such as upskilling programs for trainers,
standardized assessment processes, and integration of job portals can
enhance placement opportunities and support entrepreneurship.
Investments in research parks, tax incentives for academia-industry
collaboration, and venture funds can further stimulate innovation and
economic growth in the region.
Overall, by fostering collaboration and implementing targeted interventions,
academia, industry, and government can create a vibrant skill ecosystem
that drives economic development and empowers individuals in Haryana.
