Vocational Taining Key to Sustinable Gowth: At a time
when the burden of an ageing population is pulling the growth rates of many
countries down, India has over 550 million people who are 25 years or
younger. It has been estimated that during 2006- 2010, 71-million youth will
enter the working-age population. And herein lies a
paradox. The country has a huge shortage of skilled people and this talent
deficit is already hampering the manufacturing and services sectors’ growth
prospects. |
