Abstract :

Globalization has created a great demand for a skilled workforce which is responsive for emerging market needs. Although the Indian economy has experienced rapid growth over the recent period, low level of education and formal training of the workforce are the matters of great concern. In India, informal sector employs nearly 90% of the workforce, most of which is either non–skilled or inadequately skilled and there is very little investment or opportunity for formal “skilling”. To get productive employment, especially in the informal sector, it is critical to acquire skill sets with strong labour market linkages. Government has initiated various employment generating scheme in India. Community Polytechnics was continued till 2007. After reviewing the scheme the Government started the same scheme in 2009 and called it Community Development through Polytechnic. The emphasis of the scheme was to utilize the resources available in the polytechnics for skill development training of unemployed youths and make them employable so that they can earn their sustainable livelihood. Initiatives by Polytechnics of Gujarat state in skill development training programs is discussed in this paper
