Unemployment in Youth There is no specific scheme to provide employment to the computer educated youth. However, to make youth including computer educated youths employable, several schemes are being implemented by various Ministries of the Government of India for their skill development which include training courses of duration ranging from few days to more than a year. A new Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship has also been established to coordinate the skill activities across Ministries. Moreover, to improve the employability of youth including computer educated youth, around 20 Ministries run skill development schemes across 70 sectors. According to the data compiled by National Skill Development Agency (NSDA), about 51.50 lakh persons were given skill development training in the year 2014-15 under these schemes. National Skill Development Authority (NSDA) has informed that State/UT-wise detail is not maintained by them. Under the National Policy on Skill Development, a target of skilling 5 crore people has been set during the 12th Five Year Plan. Vocational training is imparted through network of more than 12106 ITIs and the present seating capacity in these ITIs is about 17.11 lakh. This Information was given by the Minister of State(IC) Labour and Employment, Sh. Bandaru Dattatraya in Lok Sabha today.
