This investigation assesses the efficacy of Skill India and reveals respondents’ differing opinions about the program’s influence. Only 5.8% and 12% of respondents think that the existing skill development programs sufficiently address the demands of the labour market, whilst 11.3% said that their affiliation with Skill India has improved their career. A number of issues are brought up, such as the lack of possibilities for skill development (10.5%), the perceived inequalities in gender inclusion (10.5%), and the apparent discrepancy between what is taught in educational institutions and what employers want (9.8%). The report acknowledges these issues and suggests strategic solutions, such as broadening the program’s scope, modernizing the infrastructure, adapting to the changing needs of the labour market, utilizing cutting-edge technologies, and collaborating with the private sector to offer industry-driven courses, and encourage youth entrepreneurship. To increase the program’s effects, stakeholders—including state governments and non-governmental organizations—must cooperate more closely. The suggested Stakeholder cooperation, technology integration, and policy reforms are given top priority in the future strategy, which will direct Skill India toward sustainable growth and worldwide competitiveness in the dynamic labour market.
