The issue of skill building has been at the forefront of policy debates in recent years.Several committees/ commissions/task forces have examined the issues related to skill formation and recommended to expand/ upgrade the skill building efforts. However, most of these recommendations have generally remained focused on the formal sector. It is in this context that the NCEUS has examined the issue of skill formation in the unorganized sector. The Commission has carried out a detailed analysis of the socio-economic characteristics of the skilled and unskilled persons. The Commission has put forward a set of comprehensive recommendations for building a skill development and training system that explicitly focuses on the expansion of Vocational Education and Training (VET) for the informal sector workers.
