Tata Motors is reskilling employees to make them 'future ready'

A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed with the government of India recognised skill council to help Tata Motors' skill development centres across its six plants in India, the company said in a statement.

Skill development is the need of the hour and a host of agencies have launched programmes aimed at doing so. But how effective are these programmes? To ensure they are moving in the right direction, skill assessment agencies are also springing up.

The skills shortage is costing India dear, yet remedies remain uncoordinated and young people's aspirations do not match reality.

The government is keen on making domestic companies meet 70 per cent of the country's defence needs within the next five years.
