A Study on Impact of Empowering Rural Women with Skill India initiative

Abstract

Skill India is a government-led initiative that began on 15 July 2015 with the objective of training over 40 million people in various skills in India by 2022. Additionally, he established four game-changing initiatives within the skill development and entrepreneurship ministry. Skill development is critical for poverty reduction because it boosts empowerment and productivity and enables the development of sustainable enterprises, income growth, and development. The government has demonstrated a commitment to keeping its promises regarding skill development in order to empower its citizens. India, on the other hand, lags far behind other countries in terms of skill development. According to reports, only 10 percent of the country's total labour force receives some form of skill training (20 percent receive formal training, and 8 percent receive informal training); additionally, 80 percent of new workers lack access to skill training. This situation, however, is constantly changing.
