A study on effect of make in India on employability of engineering students of dr apjaktu

Employability is a major concern with all the students across the board. It's our 15th Prime Minister Mr Modi who gave the economic mantra-‘Make in India’ aiming to project India as the manufacturing centre which will fuel the performance of India's trade and industry. Such a growth oriented scheme has led to the extent for research to find out its execution, implication and sustainability. Thus, for the study of this paper, I reviewed few research papers. After reviewing different papers, it's found that manufacturing in India by foreign & domestic Industries in various sectors can create employment prospects. So, it becomes important for the Indian labour and prospective employees to acquire skill and knowledge to achieve employability. Thus, this paper tried to find out the effect of ‘Make in India’ on employability and scope for skill development specifically with respect to the technical and management students of Dr APJAKTU. We need to focus on the development of the skills of Indian labour force to suit the eligibility criteria laid by the Industry. So, as reviewed, it is found that only 10% of the workforce receives formal training to acquire skill requirement. However, out of the actual industrial training requirement of the 22 million workforces, only 4.3 million of workforces are actually getting formal training. Interestingly, ‘Make in India’ project will lead to an increase in the demand of skilled engineers as well as managers too. Though, there exists a huge skill gap in India. In the process, it was noticed that for the successful implementation of ‘Make in India’ initiative, it is also imperative to execute different skill development initiatives to minimise the skill gap between the available skill sets and desired skill sets.
