Zeenat Husain
Abstract
India is a country that has a good number of youths who, when employed, can be a dividend for the country. Initiatives such as the Skill Development and Training Programme (SDTP) were introduced to make the youth more employable. This paper explores with the help of secondary and primary data how far the programme has succeeded. It further examines the factors which led to the success or failure of the programme. The data analysis has been done for the state of Karnataka to understand the outcome of SDTP. Finally, concluding observations are made and suggestions are given to further improve the programme.
