India is woefully short of skilled workers. In 2020-21, over 84% of Indians in the 12-59 age group did not receive vocational and technical training (VTT), according to a Periodic Labour Force Survey analysis.

There are complaints against GoI’s Skill India Mission: lack of adequate training centres, poor training, forced or no placement, lack of trainers and no assurance of a decent wage for those trained.
