Abstract	Unemployment remains a persistent challenge in India despite various economic reforms and policy interventions. While initiatives such as the New Economic Policy (1991) and the National Education Policy (2020) have aimed to improve employment prospects, structural issues—such as the dominance of the informal sector and a shortage of skilled labor—continue to hinder progress. With 81% of the population working in the informal sector and only a small proportion engaged in formal employment, the gap between available jobs and employable skills is evident. In this context, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) emerges as a crucial mechanism to bridge the skills gap and promote self-employment. This paper explores the contribution of the private sector, particularly through CSR initiatives, in enhancing skill development. A case study of ACC Limited, Kymore (Madhya Pradesh), is examined to understand how corporate investment in skill-building can open pathways to employment and support broader national development goals.
