India’s fast-growing youth population has long been dubbed its demographic dividend. However, a lack of skilling and training leaves much of this population unemployable.

Skilling, therefore, is the need of the hour; a need that is reflected in the policies and programmes on skill development that the Central Government is currently putting in place. These include re-skilling and up-skilling initiatives that are expected to pick up pace and scale.

 

Sensing this urgent need for skilling, the Ramaiah Group has launched a series of quality skill development initiatives that seek to not only train novices but also upgrade the skills of experienced professionals.
