NITI Aayog panel weighs legislation on Right to Skill: Rudy

July 15, 2015 13:13

A NITI Aayog sub-group headed by Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal is "exploring" a legislation on the Right to Skill in order to create a pool of skilled manpower in the country.

"As far as legislation to provide the Right to Skill is concerned, unless and until there's consensus among states, this legislation cannot be done... I think Badal who is heading a sub-committee of the NITI Aayog will consider this as well," Union Minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy said.

The committee has been tasked with addressing human resources issues, especially youth, and working on scientific methods for skilled manpower.

The chief ministers are expected to recommend measures to the NITI Aayog on how to deal with shortage of skilled manpower in production lines and also expand outreach of skill programmes, particularly in demographically advantageous states.
