This study is based on a “holistic” approach to vocational education and training (VET) and explores the framework, relevance and priority of its demands in the context of India. It also analyses the connection between VET and employment, the competitiveness of Indian business, the importance of small and medium enterprises and the unorganised sector of the economy. Other variables which encourage the growth of VET and other related matters are also examined. The last section of the article discusses the use of world-class technology involving artificial intelligence for capacity building in education and training, operating the internet as a platform.
