The following operational strategies will be adopted:
(S1) Folding the future in: If we start from our current position, we are likely to extrapolate. Folding the future in allows us to innovate. Innovation is, therefore, an important element of the strategy.

(S2) Skills framework must move to a system of equivalence to diplomas and degrees: National Vocational Qualification Framework (NVQF) will be created with an open/flexible system which will permit individuals to accumulate their knowledge and skills, and convert them through testing and certification into higher diplomas and degrees. NVQF will provide quality assured various learning pathways having standards, comparable with any international qualification framework. NVQF will support lifelong learning, continuous upgradation of skills and knowledge.

(S3) Skills must be bankable: The process of skill acquisition especially for the poor and needy persons will be made bankable. The effort would be to complement public investment with institutional/ bank finance.

(S4) Co-created solutions and forging partnerships: We have to accept a very asymmetric India as a starting point. Partnerships will be consciously promoted between Government, industry, local governments, civil society institutions and all potential skill providers. Institutional mechanism and standing platforms will be created to ensure sustainability.

(S5) Game-changing delivery/innovation: Availability of public institutions above the high school level, after class hours for skill development by the Private Sector, without disturbing the normal working, will be explored. Necessary regulations would be brought in by the local management authority of the particular educational institution.

What is Skills Development? Skills development is the process of  identifying your skill gaps, and  developing and honing these skills.

Just as you need the right tools to build a house, you need the right skills to build your goal.  Without the right skills, you will only frustrate yourself, waste your time, and spend a lot of time dealing with rudimentary issues caused by the lack of knowledge or lack of skills, as opposed to pr...

Your Skills Development: Hard and Soft Skills In developing your skills, I’d like you to consider 2 groups of skills: Hard skills : Skills relating to any specific task; they are usually easily quantifiable.

It’s obvious why hard skills are important. You need domain-level knowledge to thrive in a goal. To be a successful YouTuber, you should at least have some video editing skills. To be a good blogger, you should have good writing skills and a good command of the language. To be a good software engineer, you need to kn...
