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.
