Abstract
The International Labor Organization asserts that "skill development is of critical importance in encouraging a sustainable development process and can contribute to enabling the transition from an informal to a formal economy. In the context of globalisation, it is also crucial to address the opportunities and difficulties in order to fulfil the requirements of changing economies and new technology. The goal of skill development is to create a workforce that has the continually updated knowledge, skills, and internationally recognised credentials needed to obtain decent jobs and maintain India's competitiveness in the fastpaced global economy. On September 25, 2014, Indian Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Damodardas Modi announced the commencement of Make in India.It strives to raise workforce productivity and employability in the wage and self-employed sectors of both the organised and unorganised economies. This essay sought to determine how Make in India affected opportunities for skill development and employment. It is crucial to concentrate on improving the skills of the Indian labour force in order for them to be qualified enough to meet industry market requirements. It will be fascinating to see if the Make in India programme results in the creation of new jobs or if there will be a greater need for skilled labour. However, it has been discovered after reading numerous articles that India has a significant skill deficit.It has been determined via the examination of numerous research papers that various skill development efforts must be put in place in order to close the skill gap between the needed and existing skills in order for the Make in India programme to be implemented successfully.
