Speaking on this occasion, Prof. I.K. Bhatt, Director, MNIT, Jaipur said, “According to a private consulting services organization in its background note given to FICCI during the 3rd Global Skill Summit, it was mentioned that, India is expected to be a home to 500 million skilled workforce by the end of 2020. Also an approximate 12 million persons would be expected to join workforce every year. This means that the talent pool needs to be adequately skilled and qualified enough to meet the demand of the Industry on the whole. The report also mentioned that the employment and manufacturing services sector would have an excess of 250 million persons. In India, only about 5% of the workforce has marketable skills, as compared to 50% to 60% in other countries. Thus, it can be estimated that there is a huge required capacity for training new as well as the existing workforces.”
