Sir, We need to have a national skill development portal similar to coursera. All schools going children should have career counselling centers. We should make vocational training is mandatory and should allow students to take up their area of interest. Tax benefits should be given to organisation which support in skill development. National Skill register to be rolled out and companies should be made to hire from the registered pool of candidates.

Every block of 300 students should be tied to a Career Centres and 5 Career Centre need to be tied to a regional career centre. Career centers should be associated with regional industrial areas. Each student from age of 14 and above need to do a vocational training of 1 month every year with the industry in that region. Each career centre should be connected to each other via internet. Concentration should be in field of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics with practical knowledge.

give tax relief for all private businesses to give paid internship positions to newly passed graduates and school leavers youth. immediately it will open millions of positions for skill development in the country and lots of new employments for these interns. Govt can also fund scholarships to fund these new student interns for limited period after which businesses can absorb the promising people!

Case based competitions where groups of individuals are first tutored on Consulting type best practices, then do a competition under supervision. Teams are judged on their abilities and logical processes used to analyze and solve problems. Teams that are in above the 80 percentile are moved to more rounds. Round 1 can be done in a 4 hour block (1 hour tutorial & 3 hour competition). Additional rounds can be designed on a need basis depending on type of problem being presented.

I suggest for the career centres in every Block office, managed in supervision of Block Development officers. I also suggest for the career counsellors available at that centres to guide the students for better courses and employment.

Recruitment of skilled teachers or giving them a proper training is the need, I hope NCS is having having in to reach the schools and pathsalas in villages where standard of education is going down because of unavailability of skilled teachers. All the Best!!!!!

The career center has to be brought up from the Schools and it should go through out the Colleges and Universities up to the level where the young people can get what they expected or I say What they Dreamt .
