National council Of Educational Training Institute and Research - Filling the gap of supply and demand of skilled youth

According to the India Skills Report 2015, it was established that India lacks in the development of skills. Of all the students applying for roles in the labour market, a mere 1/3rd of the number had the appropriate skills to match the requirement of the employers. Though they have sufficient manpower but they are not skilled enough to get a job. In India, there exists an enormous skill gap between the demand from industries based on rapid economic growth and the kind of skill sets the young people acquire through various education and trainings.

According to 12th Plan Document of the Planning Commission, 85 percent of the labour force in India have educational qualification up to secondary level within which 55 per cent have an educational qualification only up to the primary level and merely 2 per cent of the workforce has any vocational training. This gap between the demand and supply not only affects economic growth, but it also prevents the inclusive growth of the economy as a whole. Hence, National Council of Educational Training Institute and Research (NCETIR) is one of few renowned autonomous institutions accepting the responsibility to fill such skill gaps and take newer initiatives for bridging those gaps in order to ensure inclusive growth.
