Speaking at the National Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Awards, President Pranab Mukherjee said that two thirds of the Indian population will fall into the working age bracket in the next few years. ‘We have to gainfully employ our working population to ensure that their contribution to national progress is unearthed to the fullest extent ‘, he said.
‘Healthy industrial relations and capacity building mechanisms are a must. Our strategies must focus on up-gradation of our technical institutes, both in terms of quality and quantity, setting up of more technical institutes to cater to the increasing demand, and skill development of our manpower to equip them with the relevant expertise and know-how’, said Mr. Mukherjee.
