Post-COVID-19 Skill Development Mission

In the wake of the Covid-19 Pandemic in the month of January 2020, it is easy to say that the year 2020 has been one of the most bizarre and catastrophic years in the history of mankind. It had severely affected the way we live and breathe hereafter. Life will never be the same again Post Covid-19. The worst-hit is the economies world over. The economic fall out of this dreadful Covid-19 Virus is disastrous, to say the least, No one has ever predicted the scale and magnitude of the monumental human and economic loss and negative impact of the Corona induced National Lockdowns observed globally.

Job loss is the most severe immediate impact of the COVID-19 crisis while lower economic growth and rise in inequality would be the long-term effects, according to a survey by the Indian Society of Labour Economics (ISLE). The online survey was conducted on 520 ISLE members in the last week of May.
The preliminary results showed that loss of employment was considered as the most severe immediate impact of the crisis while lower economic growth and rise in inequality were probable long-term.

As per the survey, the immediate policy priorities suggested were protection of workers and families, short-term employment creation and income transfers to affected workers-Economic Times,11 July 2020.

The immediate and pressing task on hand for our nation is short term job creation. This has been necessitated not just by job losses but also the displacement of the workforce on account of migrants leaving their jobs and migrating back to their home states.

As the economy is slowly opening up it is imperative that we provide short term skill development training to the available workforce to make up for the job losses and also to create new employment since new avenues opportunities are created post-Corona threat, case in point is mask making, demand for more security guards, sanitization industry opening up and the thrust on manufacturing emphasized by our Government to reduce reliance on Chinese products to create a proud Atmanirbhar India.

It’s time to Rebuild and Reboot our Economy

It’s time to rediscover our faith in ourselves and to Restore our nation with confidence and courage.
