Reality Check

• Low overall productivity due to lack of
  supportive nationwide infrastructure
• Large number of people become apprentices in the
  unorganized sector to pick up saleable skills.
• Skills generated in the unorganised sector have
  no formal recognition!
• Labour market opportunities for even the most
  skilled labour are restricted to local market

12
Propositions

• In addition to white and blue collar skills,
  India needs to recognize
• Its vast pool of knowledge workers
• skilled workers at the grass root level in
  unorganized sector.
• Instead of trying to become a world global trader
  (Like China), India would have better to focus on
  its huge internal market. It needs to raise the
  purchasing power of the poor people and the only
  way is to create more jobs, notably for the
  unskilled.

13
India needs thought shift

• From employment to employability (By rapidly
  making the provision of industry oriented
  practical skill education rather than current
  focus on traditional academic degrees)
• Giving school education system a global air.
• Urgent need for genuine focus and clear
  strategies for providing infrastructure in rural
  and semi-urban areas through private public
  participation

14
EXPECTED FUTURE

  of doubling the present production of food and
  agricultural products by 2020. Agro food
  processing industry would lead to the prosperity
  of rural people, food security and speed up the

• The Indian Information Technology industry
  accounts for a 7 of the country's GDP and export
  earnings as of 2008, while providing employment
  to a significant number of its tertiary sector
  workforce. In March 2009, annual revenues from
  outsourcing operations in India amounted to US60
  billion and this is expected to increase to
  US225 billion by 2020. The most prominent IT
  hubs are IT capital Bangalore and presently
  growing Chennai.
• Information and Communication Technology This is
  one of our core competencies and wealth
  generator. ICT can be used for tele-education,
  tele-medicine and e-governance to promote
