The focus in demand from industry has therefore, seen a remarkable shift from that of a person trained in skill to person, who has not only learned the skills but also the theory component. Recognizing the need for skill development, the union government also created a separate ministry of skill development in the cabinet to tackle the issues”. Mr. Khan further stated that some countries like China, Taiwan Korea etc., are focusing on only skill development rather than theoretical knowledge. Mr. Khan has opined that the theoretical and practical knowledge should go together and students must balance both.
