Welcome to India CSR YouTube Story. Today we have an important update on India's efforts to enhance the skills of its citizens. The Ministry of Skills Development and Entrepreneurship has proposed a unique idea - the 'Gift a Skill' concept.

This initiative aims to link either the Reserve Bank of India's digital currency e-Rupi or skill vouchers to the skill development of individuals. With this concept, individuals, corporations, and institutions can sponsor the skill development of another individual.

The government is looking to incentivize enterprises to take up skills training by offering various means of participation, such as co-branding of their training programs and utilizing e-Rupi or skill vouchers for CSR-based training.

This will streamline processes for corporate social responsibility practices and encourage greater participation from the private sector.

According to the Companies Act, 2013, companies with a net worth of five hundred crore rupees or more, or a turnover of one thousand crore rupees or more, or a net profit of five crore rupees or more during the previous three years are required to spend two percent of their average net profit on CSR activities. The focus of the proposed CSR-backed training will be on green jobs and emerging sectors including electric vehicles, renewables, and solid and liquid waste management.

The government is also examining the possibility of creating a 'Skill Wallet' to simplify transactions for such CSR activities. The ministry will carry out mapping exercises across key sectors and then integrate the requirements with education, skilling, and re-skilling to help estimate job losses in traditional sectors and demand for skilled professionals across emerging sectors.

At present, only twenty one point two percent of India's labor force is skilled, compared to ninety nine percent in Japan, eighty six percent in South Korea, and eighty five percent in France.

As part of its Vision 2047, the Skills Development and Entrepreneurship Ministry aims to provide hundred percent skills training to India's projected labor force by the year 2047.

So far, nearly fifty-five million candidates have received skills training, which falls short of the government's Skill India Mission target of training four hundred million youth by the year 2022. Nevertheless, the government is actively examining these proposals and a final decision is expected shortly.
