India's Flawed Skill Development Mission

The title of this post is a new article I have contributed in Deccan Herald on this Monday commenting of the recent Union Government Budget. 

The current Union government budget did not speak about two aspects in details, one is achievements of last five years on skilling youth and the initiative of smart cities for 99 cities. Both have received bare minimum focus, is it because the previous Modi government failed miserably? 

The institutional capacity to expand the skilling of youth has not increased as it was expected when the Vision 2022 was launched in 2015. Moreover, the quality of imparting skills to youth by different training institutions whether it is government run or private run, both were lacking the marketable skills for employ-ability.

We need to set right the institutional governance first and then we need to focus on private sector driven funding for the skilling with mutual interests.
