Different schemes for kill development

· Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY).

· Polytechnic schemes

· Rozgar Mela

· Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendra (PMKK)

· UDAAN

Now, with the advent of Skill India, vocational training can make bigger growth. With only, theoretical knowledge taught in schools, students didn’t had any idea about the skill development and practical based applications. As a result, India lacked skills based on practical applications which resulted in unemployment and less innovative approach.

With the Skill India, citizens can seek free training in different industry oriented skills which are in greater demand. Also, school dropouts can complete the training and bridge their gap between the education and skill.

So, my dear readers, what do you think? Can vocational training provide more employment options and industrial qualification?
