Envisioning India as a global skill supplier

The Hindu  

In an address in August, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said that he was hopeful that India’s skilled workforce will play a prominent role in the global job market. India’s efforts have mostly revolved around bilateral agreements on international labour mobility with different countries covering aspects such as social security, skills, protection, and welfare. The way forward The critical step in this direction is to identify and anticipate the ever-changing skills in demand in select destination countries and the emergent skill gaps across their key sectors and occupations. This will entail systematic mapping of the country’s skill development efforts related to skill mobility and follow-up actions: introducing identified skills and competencies as a part of the curriculum in specific institutions; reorienting skill programmes of India’s International Skill Centres to meet the global skill gaps; creating customised short-term skill training geared towards destination countries; and so on. This will be pivotal in fostering skill partnerships between India and the principal destination countries, boosting skill-centred mobility, and improving migration and developmental outcomes.
