Abstract This research paper evaluates the effects of vocational education compared to traditional, non-vocational education in rural areas of the Rohilkhand region of Uttar Pradesh. The results indicate that vocational education significantly impacts incomes, unemployment, poverty, and social status in rural areas. The study reveals a strong positive association between changes in income, unemployment, poverty, and social status, with advancements in one field often linked to advancements in others. The impact on education is most notable at higher secondary and secondary education levels, with lower effects at graduate and postgraduate levels. Vocational education, particularly those with GTI, ITI, DDUSDP, UPSDP, and NSDP qualifications, reported noticeable increases in income levels and decreased unemployment rates. Traditional education had a less significant impact on income and unemployment. To maximize its impact, it is crucial to address implementation challenges, enhance community participation, and improve collaboration. The findings suggest that vocational education has had a more substantial impact on income, unemployment reduction, and social status enhancement compared to traditional education. The paper also highlights the gaps in the implementation and execution of skill development programs and suggests areas for improvement to enhance their effectiveness.
