India is the youngest country in the world. Keeping this demographic advantage in mind, there’s a crucial need to empower skill development by recognizing the changing times for the youth in this age group. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has provided encouragement to Skill India. Many developed countries like the United States, Australia, Canada, Singapore, and Japan are experiencing a decline in their working-age population. Such nations are seeking skilled manpower. In the current situation in India, the proportion of the youth population will increase from 62% to as much as 68% by the year 2030. In such circumstances, there is an opportunity for our country to create a highly skilled workforce, which is beneficial for the world.
