Skill and vocational educational in the socio-economic development of rural youth in India: An empirical Study

Abstract

VET (Vocational Education and Training) is an essential part of the country's educational strategy. Both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies were used in this study. The present paper is a small attempt to describe and see the overall skill and vocational education system and its impact on rural youth in India using Quantitative as well as Qualitative Research techniques. A descriptive study approach was used to assess the thought process, degree of awareness, and perception of skill-based training among a chosen population. Because education is widely regarded as the most effective weapon for development, our government is attempting to educate almost all individuals, particularly those in rural regions, via a vast vocational Education initiative. The concept is that via education, unskilled employees will become skilled, peasants will be taught in new crops and will be able to adopt new agricultural practises and educated people will develop strategies for self-employment after learning new methods and skills.
