Abstract A Nation’s real success depends on its skilled work force. The skilled workforce gives an added advantage for running the wheel of the manufacturing and service operations. In order to focus more on competitive priorities, organizations give more emphasis on skilled workforce and thus skill development. Skill development has been considered one of the critical aspects for job creation in India. Hence Government of India has been working on long term strategic plans for skill development of Indian youth from rural and urban areas for their employment and empowerment. Without the required opportunities the challenges of unemployment in the country will never get resolved. Post-independence there were establishment of Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs), thus ITIs are one of the pioneering steps towards ensuring a steady flow of skilled workers in different trades for the industry. At present there is around 14,886 affiliated ITIs which are active in India catering 143 number of technical and non-technical trades accrediting post- secondary unemployed youths to secure a decent job and also empowering them for self-reliant. In 2018, employability among Industrial Training Institutes graduates across India was about 29.46 percent, a drastic decrease from 42.22 percent in 2017.
In the North Eastern state of Assam the situation is grimmer. In Govt. ITIs of Assam student admission has been drastically reduced primarily effecting MSME sector of the state which is contributing significantly in the economic and social development of the state by generating large employment opportunities and fostering entrepreneurship. Due to shortage of skilled workforce in Assam, the local factories have to hire skilled manpower from other parts of the country. The current paper aims to identify the causes behind decreasing trend of admission in vocational courses in Govt. ITIs with special reference to Assam and suggests measures to address the issues in a broader perspective. The paper also highlights the bold reforms and initiatives by both Central and State Govt. to upgrade Govt. ITIs through PPPs to build Govt. ITIs as world class skill centres to meet the growing demand in the local and international market.
