Skill Development

The Skill Development research division at NILERD undertakes in-depth empirical studies, policy diagnostics, and strategic evaluations to support India’s vocational education and technical training ecosystem. Recognizing that skill enhancement is fundamental to raising labor productivity and accelerating economic growth, the division conducts comprehensive analyses of vocational education frameworks, apprenticeship programs, industry skill gaps, and technological readiness across both organized and informal economic sectors to provide evidence-based policy inputs for NITI Aayog, central ministries, and state development missions.
