Never before in the history of any country has human capital
development been such a key focus area as 2011 was for India, marking
the beginning of exciting times. Determined to leverage the
demographic dividend and reach the goal of skilling 500 million, India
created many ripples in 2011. Four themes dominated the year in the
context of skills development:
Private Industry participation in skills development
Skills development in India got a fillip when Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh constituted the National Council on Skills Development in 2008
and the National Skills Development Corporation (NSDC) thereafter. For
NSDC, this year has been one of the best — a-one-of-its-kind
public-private partnership formed to contribute significantly to the
charter of skilling Indians.
The corporation forged many new partnerships to train people,
including joint ventures with the Bharti Group for 11.5 million, with
Everonn for 15 million, with Future Group for seven million and with
NIIT for another seven million. As of its last month's report, they
have approved 34 training projects and eight sector skills councils,
covered 177 districts, set up 2,427 centres, touched 20 sectors and
have already set up the foundation required to train 58.6 million
people in 10 years.
