Since the beginning of May, the skill space in India has garnered continuous attention. With the release of Sharada Prasad Committee Report, we saw differing opinions in the media but the good thing was that many key stakeholders got an opportunity to share their opinion on the Report while it was made available in the public domain. Another important news is with regard to rethinking of skilling numbers by NSDC. The target of skilling 150 million by 2022 will be made more realistic in the coming days after discussions with the government. We also heard about the plans and ideas for policy reforms from the government to develop ITIs into proper formal schools like CBSE and ICSE schools. Let’s get updated with happenings in various states in India. Here’s updating you with the next edition of skill development news digest 160517.
