NSDC to launch skills portal

National Skills Development Corporation (NSDC) along with the World Bank will launch a national skills portal to assess in real time the existing demand-supply gap in the current pool of workforce. This will help the policy makers and the implementing agencies to form a time bound action plan to expedite the whole process of the skill development programme. The portal will be launched in July this year.

The move follows the Skill India Programme failing to meet its Skill India target to train 400 million of unskilled people by 2022. The flagship scheme is running behind its target with hardly 40 million trained in four years by different stakeholders since then. Around 10 million entrants are trained every year by the skill development ministry and other central ministries like agriculture, textile and IT. The cabinet secretary has directed the ministry of skill development and entrepreneurship to converge all skilling data across sectors, gender, social and geographic landscape to assess demand and supply for the skilled workforce.
