Skills and knowledge are the driving forces of economic growth and social development of a country. In rapidly growing economies like India with a vast and ever-increasing population, there is a severe shortage of highly-trained, quality skilled resources, while on the other; large sections of the population possess little or no job skills. Along with Academic Qualifications we need to produce dynamic and enterprising youngsters capable of facing the changing times and taking on the toughest technical challenges. Prospective employers along with academic Qualifications are looking at the worth and expertise of a candidate from the view point of employability potential of the candidate. Furthermore, the industry has neither the time nor inclination to train a fresher in skills required. Owing to tough competition, industry is ready to recruit only skilled candidates who can contribute immediately to the well being of the company. Hence the emphasis is on how best to integrate industry relevant skill set and regular college curriculum and expose students to real workplace culture. The need of the hour is a sustainable platform to hone the skills of students and provide the support each individual needs to grow. A well defined solution is the establishment of Skill Development Centers by the organisations.
