Impossible to skill 500 million by 2022 under old policy: Rajiv Pratap Rudy

NEW DELHI: As the government prepares a new Skill Development Policy, Union Minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy today said it is “impossible to achieve” the target of skilling 500 million people by 2022 as envisaged under the existing policy announced in 2009 during the UPA regime.
“There was a National Skill Policy which was announced in 2009. The 2009 policy talked about training 500 million people. When I took over, I saw these numbers and I said Thank You. It is almost impossible to achieve,” Rudy said at an IIT Delhi event here.

Dressed Up And Nowhere To Go

Skill shortage is a squeaking wheel that won’t get greased as long as we continue to link vocational training with school dropouts. No doubt a gifted scholar has other avenues, but someone coming out of a vocational institute should be no pushover either. Unfortunately, our thoughts on this subject suffer from a foundational flaw. We have assumed all along that skill development is only for the academically challenged; better still, they should also be dirt poor, with nowhere to go.
