Question

Explain the following concepts with examples.

Skill Development.

Answer 1

Skill development refers to the identification of skill gaps and developing the existing skills to enable a person to achieve his/her goals, so that there will be no more problems of unemployment due to lack of adequate skills.

The current generation lacks the required skills and there is a h umongous gap between the skills existing in a person and the skills demanded by the industry.

Hence there is a desperate need to cultivate skills especially those which are employmentworthy or those which can promote self-employment, and develop entrepreneurial potential of the learners.

For Example : Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA), the salient feature of which is to enable institutions of higher education for capacity building in different fields of employment, communication skills, analytical and research skill etc.
