Chairman's Message

According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), more than 50 percent of India's workforce will need to be reskilled by 2022 to meet the demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. We need to ascertain the activities to be undertaken based on the demand supply gap.

We at Grameen Pragati have currently identified the skill gaps and are imparting skilling and training in Poladpur, Raigad district, Maharashtra, Hyderabad and Kamareddy district, Telangana, and also in Tamil Nadu, and Gujarat via PMKVY scheme. We are poised to initiate implementation of the livelihood and skill related programs for the Jammu & Kashmir youth.

In Assam, we propose to develop new design with the support from the National institute of design and providing entrepreneur development among artisans, provide online platform to handicraft products.

Puducherry UT Administration has shared with us their existing skill development activities and posed employment as the main challenge. We are in the process of identifying the linkages with employment as well.

We follow the trifold path of entrepreneurship through e-enablement of digital business capability, education/training based empowerment and e-resource consolidation. We help establish the common digital platform for digital payment and E- business capabilities of businesses in consonance of the Skill India, Startup India and Digital India programs, operated by the central government.

This platform would emerge as yet another resource for central government programs on skills development and entrepreneurship, to budding entrepreneurs and businesses of the region. Several of national programs like the DDURPM, PMKVY, on this centre and the region can be covered, on the basis of pilots, on a sectoral basis.

Overall, we map the aspiration of the youth on skill development and provide training as per their aspiration.

We would request the States to appoint Grameen Pragati Foundation as a registered trainer for providing training on any of the areas listed above or as per the state’s requirements and commercials.

The mantra to stay relevant in the rapidly changing business environment and market conditions is to "skill, re-skill and upskill". Prime Minister Narendra Modi told the youth on addressing a virtual event to mark five years of the Skill India mission.
