What is Skill Development? How does it help in creating employment?

Answer:
Skill Development is the development of a particular skill with proper professional training. A trained person can get employment easily than non-skilled labour.

  • A study conducted by the Planning Commission estimates that nearly 20 lakh jobs can be created in the education sector alone.
  • Similarly, if we have to improve the health situation, we need many more doctors, nurses, health workers, etc., to work in various parts of our country.
