India must become the skill capital of the world

    The new normal of the post-Covid world presents exciting opportunities for India to leverage its power in the skilling sphere, because it has brought a completely new framework for virtual operations with robust digital platforms to deliver skilling programmes to trainees and connect them to international employers.

    The Government should move quickly to formulate policies to address the vital aspect of international mobility for our youth in a post-Covid world by imagining new paradigms of digital skilling by augmenting the adoption of digital technologies.
