SURVEY & ANALYSE

As per the survey conducted by reputed agencies, for the economy to

grow at 8% to 9%, it is required that the Manufacturing and service sectors

should grow at 10% to 11%, assuming agriculture grows at 4%. In such a scenario,

it is obvious that a large portion of the workforce would migrate from the primary

sector (agriculture) to the manufacturing and service sectors.

However, the skill sets that are required in the manufacturing and service

sectors are quite different from those in the agriculture sector. This implies that

there is/will be a large skill gap when such a migration occurs, as evidenced by

a shrinking employment in the agriculture sector.

This scenario necessitates skill development in the workforce. On a long-

term basis, up to 2022, it is expected that India’s GDP will grow at a rate of

about 8%.With these growth rates, we expect that the employment

in the economy will be about 500 million by 2022.

For an economy to sustain this growth rate , it is essential that the

workforce be exposed to some form of Skilling or the other (could be through

higher/technical education or vocation skills or a combination of both). Thus it

is expected that India will have to be home to a skilled workforce of 500 million

persons by 2022.

While the school education sector is about 227 million in enrollment,

the combined enrollment in higher education and vocational training is

about15.3 million. By limiting this to the technically and vocationally qualified

and skilled workforce, primarily comprising of ITI/ITC (1 million), BE (1.7 million),

Polytechnics (0.7 million), we can observe that the current pool of skilled talent

is around 3.4 million to 4 million.

With about 12 million persons expected to join the workforce every year

and an existing skill development capacity of about 3.4 million to 4 million , it is

thus required to enhance the Skilling and technical education capacity to about15

million (considering that even sections of the existing workforce would have

to be trained).
