We all know that continued and sustainable growth of the Indian economy requires transformation of knowledge into skills and updating it through learning to be able to compete in the market. The present
economy poses several challenges to the existing skill development programme of our country. In order to address these challenges and improve the relevance and quality of skill development, it is crucial that educational policy and planning must respond to the demands of the labour market. The workshop was organized to identify gaps and understand different models being successfully implemented by various organizations in India.
