Human Resource Capital of the World ?

 

 

Context :

We can be World's Human Resource Capital', says PM Modi at 'Skill India' Launch   /  15 July 2015

Extract :

Here are the highlights of his speech:

·         Today the world is celebrating World Youth Skills Day and we are also contributing to the same.

·         Every poor Indian is my soldier. I have to win the war of over poverty with them.

·         Skills not only puts money in your pocket, it gives you self-confidence.

·         This mission is for those people who are left behind. And who are these people? People with money aren't left behind, these are the poor.

·         This initiative is not merely to fill pockets but to bring a sense of self-confidence among the poor.

·         65 per cent of the Indian population is under the age of 35. And if they don't have skill, they will become a challenge for us rather than an opportunity.

·         Through this mission we want to fulfil dreams of people and we want to do it in a structured way, taking states together.

·         We have to create structures and mechanisms to nurture youngsters, enabling them to find employment.

·         We want that a person should be capable of multiple activities (skills).

·         We have not restricted ourselves to skill development, we've focused on entrepreneurship.

·         We want to give opportunities to apprentices who want to become entrepreneurs.

·         We have to make all our training institutions dynamic. Technology is changing so rapidly that it is necessary to be dynamic to remain relevant.

·         We have to map the strategy for the next 10 years of development.

·         We have to have a futuristic vision, need to think what technology will be there in the next 10 years.

·         Matching job creation with industry demand is the key to end unemployment.

I congratulate Rajiv Pratap Rudy and his team for the manner in which they've taken this ahead.

===================================================

Target which Shri Modiji had set ( during launch of  “ Skill India “ , 5 years back, was to impart skills to some  400 million young Indians. I have no idea how much of this target got achieved

But, Shri Modiji also said : We have to create structures and mechanisms  …. enabling them to find employment

I just came across following “ Structure / Mechanism “ which might enable India’s youth to “ find work / tasks to be carried out remotely “ – and, in the process “ Earn Money “ :

 Task Mate (Early Access)   /  Google Apps / taskmate-contactus@google.com

===================================================

Dear Shri Ravishankar  Prasadji,

 

I urge you to ask Sundar Pichai ( CEO - Google ) to give preference to young Indians for participating in this BETA version

If millions of Indians , sitting in their homes with a Smart phone and WiFi connection can start completing BILLIONS of TASKS posted by thousands of Companies from around the World , then we could truly become that “ Human resource Capital of the World “ as envisage by Shri Modiji , 5 years ago
