CONCLUSION
Skill India is ambitious programme of Government of
India. At present India faces a severe shortage of trained
workers. Only 2.3% of India’s work force has formal skill
training compared to 68% in the UK, 75% in Germany,
52% in USA, 80% in Japan and 96% in South Korea.
Hence there is an urgent need to impart skills in more
efficient way. Hence Skill India needs concerted attention
to achieve desired goals.
