Abstract
The National Mission for the Development of Skills has been approved by the Union Cabinet on 01.07.2015 and officially launched by Honor Prime Minister on 15th July 2015 at World Youth Qualification Day. The mission was developed to create convergence in all sectors and the state in terms of skills training activities. The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship takes a multidimensional view of the term ‘skill’. ‘We recognize the fact that ‘skill’ has both intrinsic and instrumental value. Possessing a skill can be an end in itself – giving individuals greater self-confidence, self-esteem and dignity, which results from the knowledge that they can stand on their own feet. Availability of such skilled workforce is closely associated with the kind of vocational education and training system existing in the country. Thus this article states how Tech Mahindra foundation delved into the creation of livelihood for women by providing skills and training them to be the future bread earners of their families thereby imparting 4 months training program at SMART skill centers.
