India has made a reputation for herself as a global knowledge-based economy on the strength of its IT and ITeS sectors. However, though services sector contributes around 60% of the GDP of India, it absorbs only around 15% of the total work force. India’s demographics can be a potential source of significant strength and value for the country’s economy, but only if the working age population is adequately equipped with the right skills. This study conducted jointly with ASSOCHAM analyses skill gaps in each state of the Indian union and also the sectors in which specific skill gaps exist. Further, it examines major skill building initiatives of the government and appraises its trajectory in terms of employment generation in specific sectors. Finally, it identifies major issues in improving the effectiveness of skill development programmes.
