Skill India a war against umemployment
Skill India is an initiative of the Government of India. It was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 16 July 2015 with an aim to train over 40 crore people in India in different skills by 2022. Skill India is important too l creating job through skill.
The Modi government will have its work cut out on skill development; just over one in 10 adults reported having received any vocational training, according to new official data, and the bulk of it was informal.The National Sample Survey Office on Tuesday released data from its 2011-12 round on education and vocational training. The numbers show that among persons in the 15-59 age group, about 2.2 per cent reported to having received formal vocational training and 8.6 per cent non-formal vocational training. The non-formal variety mainly comprised the passing down of hereditary skills, or on-the-job training. Among people aged 15 and above, the NSSO data showed, only 2.4 per cent had technical degrees, diplomas or certificates in fields like medicine, engineering or agriculture. The proportion was 1.1 per cent in rural areas and 5.5 per cent in urban areas.

Leaders Speak Magazine Description:

Leaders speak Asia’s premier monthly magazine on cyber issues and views of leaders, announces its Special Launch Edition on ‘*Digital India*’ in July 2015. Leaders speak will be a touchstone for the media companies across the world. We will not only report the cybercrimes but also provide the solutions. The magazine will serve as single window solution for the cybercrimes. The exponential dimensions of cybercrime are challenging the human imagination. A simple virus unleashed by a criminal can bring untold miseries. A mighty nation can be brought to its knees. The modern battlefield for World War III will not be the geographical borders of the countries but a small control room housing a few innocuous computers. When Iran stonewalled all US attempts to stall its N programmes in 2013, Israel let loose lethal viruses which disrupted and rendered dysfunctional Iran’s computer programmes concerning with Nuclear research. In 2012 and the year after, China and US both indulged in a sort of cyber war unleashing viruses against each other. At a micro level, a gullible common man like you and me is defenseless against the cyber menace. No more. Leaders Speak is a panacea to all kinds of cyber ills. We are a single window solution as mentioned above, overarching all aspects of one’s life.
