The Importance of Skill Development

We also know that our country has left behind China in terms of population, and I want to tell you that in our country, people around the age of 28 are also the highest, that is, the youth of the country. As you know, increasing population is a problem for us, but we should also know that if we make all these people skilled and bring technological advancement, then we can change this growing population from weakness to strength, and by doing this, our country will not only increase employment but will also increase the economic growth of our country.
Talking about the government of our country, our government has recognized many private organizations and has launched many programs, which are aimed at teaching skills to the youth of our country. The job market in our country has to grow rapidly to end unemployment, such as when the Skill India Mission is providing jobs in different sectors of our country. Is securing the future? And let me talk about private institutions, There are big tech companies like Safalta, that are making the youth skilled to get jobs in the private and government sector.
 

 Digital Initiatives Make New India

Just now we have to learn about skill development in the previous point, In the same way, digital transformation is also very important to change the condition of our country, like when the government launched the Digital India initiative in 2015, which aimed to digitally empower the country, and take our country forward in the digital world. It has three main areas, which are digital infrastructure, digital delivery of services, and Digital Skill literacy
.
1. Digital Infrastructure: Internet facilities are failing rapidly in the country, the government is also trying its best to provide facilities like the Internet in small cows and small areas, and we know how easy and cheap the Internet has become in today's time, every person can use the internet easily, and due to the facility of the internet, today the children of small lions in poor homes are also in the country and the world. Many such children are paying high fees due to poverty, they cannot study in big schools and colleges; they study in bad schools; with the help of the internet, they become officers on BDI posts; and then, due to the increase in digital facilities in the country, we can see a lot of changes in education and entrepreneurship.


2. Digital Delivery of Services: We can be the country that today digital is being used in every sector, whether we talk about education or banking, All the sectors of the hospital have changed from traditional to digital, and due to digital things, there have been good changes in every sector in the country, which has helped a lot of small businesses in our country, and economic growth has also taken place in our country.


3. Digital Literacy: In today's time, digital advancement is happening very fast in the world; our country is also moving forward very fast in digital and technology, but do the people of our rural areas know about the digital world, We know that there are many areas in our country where today, even vaccines, people do not know how to run computers, so if we want to make a big change, then we are slow fast. We have to increase digital literacy in small areas of our country.


The Role of Artificial Intelligence

If we are talking about the digital world, then how can it be that there is no talk of artificial intelligence (AI)? Yes, we will also have to bring artificial intelligence more and more into every sector because there is no such thing as our country being behind many countries in technology, and it will be difficult not to ignore artificial intelligence to go ahead because by using it we will be in things. Accuracy and time that can be saved.


Entrepreneurship and Startups

If the youth of our country have skills and digital knowledge, then our country will automatically move forward in entrepreneurship and startups. And there is a great need for entrepreneurship and startups in our country because even today many foreign companies are working in our country to suppress the Indian market. We have to do more and more local production to grow our country, although it is also true that today our country has made so much progress that we have come in the position of exports along with imports. But we still need to support more local production. 
This spirit of entrepreneurship is very clear in the fintech and ed-tech healthcare sectors, and entrepreneurship is also increasing in our country. Companies like SAFALTA, Physicswala, and Allen are some tech companies that thought of doing some great work for the youth of the country by doing startups, and SAFALTA is like a company that helps students get jobs along with studies, then our country is in great need of such startups, which are in great need of the country.


Future Outlook

If we want to see the youth of our country and the country moving forward, then in the digital world, we can reach education and skills very fast in every corner of the country, which can bring a big change in employment and economy in the country.
The government of our country is also working very fast in making the country digital and skilled, at the same time, both the government sector and the private sector are helping the country to move forward. 
Furthermore, as digital literacy improves, more individuals will be able to participate in the digital economy, leading to greater innovation and economic resilience. By prioritizing skills and embracing digital transformation, India can realize its potential as a global leader in technology and innovation.
 
We need a lot of skill development and digital advancement in our country, if we want to see our country moving forward, we all know that our country is considered to be just a developing nation, if we want to change our country from a developing nation to self-sufficient development, then we need to work on skills and digital literacy in the country. We need to improve the skills and digitally education in the smallest areas of our country. Literacy has to be eradicated, and it is very important for the people of the country to understand this. We are living in the 21st center and in today's time, without skills and digital knowledge, we cannot take our country forward. If we want to make our country a Vishwaguru, then this is not just a government initiative, we all have to do it together, this is a collective vision that we all get together Have to do.
