4. At 67, India is striving to hone the skills of its young population to turn the country into a global source of manpower. It is observed that out of 200 million students enrolled for school in class I each year, only 20 million are able to finish class XII. i.e. 90% of school students drop out in different stages. Only 2.5 to 3 million seats are available in our country for vocational education and training

5. Current Scenario Let us first look at the Availability vis-à-vis Demand of Skill Development and Vocational Education initiative. Formal training capacity is available only for 3 million 12.8 million persons enter the labour market every year. ( as per National Sample Survey of India) About 95% of the world youth (15 - 35 yrs) age learn any type of vocation / skill / trade, with a choice of 3000 vocational streams. In India we have identified only about 150 trades and only 2-3% of the youth (15-29 yrs) goes for formal vocational training. Lack of new & innovative trades in VET to attract young children's and meet the Industry requirements Obviously there is a big Gap between the Aspirations and the Availability.

6. With the liberalization and globalization of the Indian economy, the rapid changes witnessed in scientific and technological world and the general need to improve the quality of life and to reduce poverty, it is essential that school leavers acquire a higher level of knowledge and skills than what they are provided in the 8 years of elementary education, particularly when the average earning of a secondary school certificate holder is significantly higher than that of a person who has studied only up to class VIII. It is also necessary that besides general education up to secondary level, opportunities for improvement of vocational knowledge and skill should be provided at the higher secondary level to enable some students to be employable

7. Skills and knowledge are the driving forces of economic growth and social development for any country. Countries with higher and better levels of skills adjust more effectively to the challenges and opportunities of world of work.

8. Future of Labour Ecosystem in India The potential working age population (20-59yrs) Currently - 567 million In 2020 - over 761 million (estimated) The govt. is talking about creating 10 million jobs every year However, the requirement is more than 15 million in a year. Even if we find 100 million new jobs, 170 million will be out of employment in 2020, this is nearly 30%. Only around 2.5-3% of persons aged 15 years or more had technical qualifications of even the most rudimentary kind 152 million persons who enter the in-formal sector for their livelihood have no access to vocational training The biggest challenge will be to provide formal education and employment to the huge work force in 2020

9. WHY COMMUNITY COLLEGE ?  Over 50% of the population are under the age of 30 years. By 2025, India will have 25% of the world’s total workforce. To harness the full demographic dividend, India needs an education system which is of high quality, affordable, flexible and relevant to the individuals, as well as to the society as a whole.  By 2025 half of the Indian population will be of working age. If majority of a working age population remains unemployable due to lack of skills that may lead to a great disaster. community colleges stands closest to the cross roads of higher education and the real world Contd..

10.  The Community College model will be accessible to a large number of individuals of the community, It offers low cost and high quality education locally, that encompasses both vocational skills development as well as traditional coursework, It provides opportunities to the learners to move directly to the employment sector.  It is flexible and open education system and based on lifelong learning needs. It has a synergistic relationship between the community, community college and the job market.  In India only 2% of the workforce of the organized sector has some kind of formal training. The estimation in West Bengal is even lesser than that.

11. India’s tremendous potential- Demographic Surplus Working age population to comprise over 63% of the aggregate by 2016. India only economy with declining age dependency ratios till 2030. A third of India’s population below 15 years of age and 20 % of the population in the 15-24 age groups. In 2020, the average age in countries will be- Indian Chins & US West Europe Japan 29 yrs 37yrs 45yrs 48yrs India with 69% of its population between 16-29 yrs – youngest country However Educated without professional skills constitute 69% of the unemployed.

12. Demographic Dividend As compared to western economies where there is a burden of an ageing population, India has a unique 20–25 years window of opportunity called the “demographic dividend.” This “demographic dividend” means that as compared to other large developing and developed countries, India has a higher proportion of working age population vis-à-vis its entire population. India has the advantage of the “demographic dividend” (younger population compared to the ageing population of developed countries), which can be cultivated to build a skilled workforce in the near future. India’s demographic surplus will be 47 million by 2020

13. Why Community Colleges in West Bengal ? Is there less demand of workforce? Is there less supply of unemployed youth? Is there less drop-outs? Is the State economically sound?

19. West Bengal: Capacity gaps

20. West Bengal: Job seekers scenario

21. VOCATIONAL EDUCATION & TRAINING The Kothari Commission on Educational Reforms, 1966 had visualized that 25% of the students at the secondary stage would go for the vocational stream. However, at present only about 5% of the children of the 16 to 18 age group are in the vocational stream. According to the recent NSSO data, only 5% of the population of the19 to 24 age group in India have learnt skills through the vocational education stream.
