Technical and vocational education programs play an important role in developing skilled workers and improving productivity in India. These programs provide education and training at various levels, from skills training for semi-skilled workers to post-secondary education to become technicians. The objectives include upgrading learners' qualifications, providing industry training opportunities, and offering employment-focused programs. Suggestions to improve the system include increasing private sector participation, providing training for vocational teachers, and utilizing distance education methods like radio and internet to expand access to vocational courses. While vocational education has benefits like cost-effectiveness and flexibility, it also faces challenges like high dropout rates, lack of qualified teachers, and employer preferences for strong academic skills.

 No clear policy of vocational education

11. Suggestion and measures:
Vocational education and training should be made more attractive in order to
capture the eyes of the learners.
The Public Private Partnership (PPP) scheme should be enforced and
encouraged in the ODL system.
TheVET programme should be made compulsory in the Secondary stage of
Education, as it is the last stage of education in formal mode for most of the
students.
NGO‟s can also work together with the Distance Education Institutes for
providing vocational course and programmes.
The ODL institutes can also provide training for the trainers of the ITI‟s, ITC‟s
through its courses.
The Open Universities can make use of radio, television, internet, etc to
provide vocational courses through audio and audio visual study materials.
Such steps will motivate the learner and keep him engaged.
