The Government of India has allocated around Rs 17,000 crore (US$ 2.55 billion) towards skilling, employment generation, and providing livelihood to millions of youth.
Graduates from beyond the top 30-50 colleges of India just do not have the basic skills that one would expect from looking at their degrees or diplomas.

At the 9th Global Skills Summit by FICCI, industry leaders came together with policy makers and market observers to discuss the way forward to make India a skilled nation.
