Abstracts CCFS2016.Pdf FOREWORD Dr. Rajul K. Gajjar Vice Chancellor Gujarat Technological University India is one of the fastest growing economy with the second largest population in the world. The challenging task for the Government of India is to maintain the growth story. To boost this growth story in line with employment generation the Government has taken several valuable initiatives. The Make in India program was launched as part of a wider set of nation-building initiatives. Devised to transform India into a global design and manufacturing hub, Make in India was a timely response to a critical situation.1 The Digital India programme is a flagship programme of the Government of India with a vision to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy.2 The Start-up India initiative aims at fostering entrepreneurship and promoting innovation by creating an ecosystem that is conducive for growth of Start-ups. The objective is that India must become a nation of job creators instead of being a nation of job seekers.3 The Skill India initiative is to help provide an engaging ecosystem to cater to skilling needs of citizens by publishing and sharing relevant information. The outcome of this collaboration should ideally lead to inclusive growth especially for those at the bottom of the pyramid.4 Aiming towards these four pillars, GTU’s Centre for Financial Services has commenced a concentrated and expedient academic conference on “Developing Indian Economy as an Engine for Job Creation: Role of Make in India, Digital India, Start-up India and Skill India” scheduled during October 14-15, 2016. GTU takes the opportunity to invite researchers, academicians, industry officials and policy makers to join on a common platform to discuss emerging issues and challenges. The proceeding of this conference cover a wide range of issues and strategies related to job creation through the four major government initiatives. We hope this volume will be highly useful to all the stake holders of the society. I would like to congratulate to the authors who have contributed their valuable research work in the form of papers and also to the organizing committee for the efforts they have put together while planning and scheduling this conference.

  • SKILL INDIA 1. Introduction Skill Development Is an Important Driver
    National Paper - PLP – 2019-20 SKILL INDIA 1. Introduction Skill development is an important driver to address poverty reduction by improving employability, productivity and helping sustainable enterprise development and inclusive growth. India is facing a paradoxical situation, where on the one hand, youth entering the labour market have no jobs; on the other hand, industries are complaining of unavailability of appropriately skilled manpower. The employment sector in India poses great challenge in terms of its structure which is dominated by informal workers, high levels of under employment, skill shortages and labour markets with rigid labour laws and institutions. Vocational education and training are crucial for enhancing the employability of an individual, by facilitating the individual’s transition into the labour market. The present skilled workforce in India is only 2 %, much lower than the developing nations (Korea (96%), Japan (80%), Germany (75%), UK (68%) and China (40%) as reported by Labour Bureau report. As compared to other developed and developing countries, India has a unique window of opportunity for another 20-25 years called the “demographic advantage”. If India is able to skill its people with the requisite life skills, job skills or entrepreneurial skills in the years to come, the demographic advantage can be converted into the dividend wherein those entering labour market or are already in the labour market contribute productively to economic growth both within and outside the country. Keeping in view that 93% of the total labour force is in the unorganised sector, the major challenge of skill development initiatives is to address the needs of a vast population by providing them skills which would make them employable and enable them to secure decent work leading to improvement in the quality of their life.

The project include Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation Scheme (RLIS) taken up by the Andhra Pradesh government, and the hydel power generation projects taken up by the Telangana government. Historical Background about the dispute over Krishna River A dispute over the sharing of Krishna waters has been ongoing for many decades, beginning with the erstwhile Hyderabad and Mysore states, and later continuing between the successors Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. The first Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal (KWDT) was set up in 1969, under the Inter- State River Water Dispute Act, 1956. The report divided the 2060 TMC (thousand million cubic feet) of Krishna water at 75% dependability into three parts amongst Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Afterward, as new grievances arose between the three states, the second KWDT was instituted in 2004. It delivered its report in 2010, which made allocations of the Krishna water at 65% dependability into three parts.
