Entrepreneurship - Our Prime Minister's word


We all must have felt the royal feeling of being an Indian, when our Honourable Prime Minister, Narendra Modi Ji was delivering his speech at United Nations and Madisson Square. The use of Hindi language probably throve the spirit of patriotism in our hearts. While his entire speech was significant and very important, there were some points where were very important for those young hearts who wish to be an entrepreneur. He promoted skill development as a strong pillar for Make-India concept. As a part of his skill development initiative, he promised entrepreneurship development for those who would like to be one of those to provide jobs to the unemployed and disguised unemployed sector. He also promised about teaching of appropriate skills to the labour force that wouldn’t like to opt for entrepreneurship so that they become the best in their field. These words are very beneficial for young entrepreneurs of today. Young entrepreneurs who would get Government support will foresee a blooming future ahead. Shortage of skilled labour is a major complaint by most micro and small entrepreneurs. Modi Ji’s speech promises support and skilled labour for entrepreneurs. With these words Modi Ji has almost moulded the entrepreneurship scenario of India. Also, the new budget has provided Rs. 10,000 crore for skill development across India aiming to build up entrepreneurs from grass root level. There has also been a high amount sanctioned by the Government solely for the development of North-East. With such help from the Indian Government young entrepreneurs can obviously think to open doors for employment. Today when a major proportion of Assamese youth sits idle and complain of unemployment, these policies from the Government are aiming solely to develop employment.
                                                                                         
The new Government has cleared the five year old plan that was initiated when Modi Ji was the Chief Minister of Gujarat. The new skill development plan is known as National Employability through Apprenticeship Program (NETAP). NETAP is private public partnership project proposed by National Skills Development Corporation. The main aim is to increase effort on-the-job training and increase job by bringing into line workforce skills as per industry needs. NETAP is the first apprenticeship program in India. This program will build a link between skills and higher education. NETAP plans to enrol two lakh apprentices every year for next decade. All trainees would receive Certificates on course completion and shall also get academic credit.


With so many benefits for us from the centre, I hope that half a decade from now no Assamese youth shall complaint of unemployment.
