India’s skills mission is set to shift from a top-down to a bottom-up approach, with district administrations getting more responsibilities, including the power to assess demand for jobs linked to training programmes for the youth. The ministry of skills development and entrepreneurship (MSDE) has written to district administrations to get ready for a bigger role in making the skills mission more effective and drive better outcomes by serving the bottom of the pyramid. Among many reforms proposed district level planning and execution has been made the fundamental instrument of implementation process, said the skills ministry in a letter to district collectors. For better execution, district and block level involvement in the skills mission is a requirement. You cannot do everything from Delhi and the move is well thought through, Praveen Kumar, secretary, MSDE, said.
