Abstract
The governments of the day
have been focusing on skill
building in a big way to create
a workforce ready for employment.
However, the ground reality
shows that there is an uneasy
relationship between skill
building and employment in India.
This paper interrogates the
role of major participants in the
process of skill building namely,
the state, corporate, NGOs and
the communities and identifies
the challenges at the grassroots
level in the process of skill
building. The paper critiques the
passive role which the communities
are required to play in the
process of skill building and
identifies the larger and latent
challenges which must be decoded
to address the relationship
between skill development
and employment.
