NEW DELHI: Terming skill development and entrepreneurship "critical" for developing youth as productive workforce, the government on Wednesday said that it has initiated the process of revising the National Policy on skill development.

The government has also directed the National Skill Development Agency (NSDA) to create a web portal where persons interested in developing skills can register themselves.

"Skill Development and Entrepreneurship are critical for developing the youth as a productive workforce. We have initiated the process to revise the National Policy on Skill Development 2009," Sarbananda Sonowal, minister of state for skill development and entrepreneurship told reporters.

He said that opinions are being obtained from various ministries and once that is done, a draft policy will be placed on the ministry's website inviting comments from the public and other stakeholders.

Stating that his ministry will work to expand and strengthen Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan (NYKS) and NSS, Sonowal said that "punarjagaran" (rejuvenation) is a major initiative from NYKS that will create a youth movement all over the country over the next one year.

"This initiative will mobilise about 150 million youths, inspire youth all over the country and make a significant contribution to the task of nation-building," he said.

The focus of the government is on youth-led development and so it plans to introduce "National Young Leaders Programme" for developing leadership qualities among the youth, he said.

"NYKS youth clubs shall be enabled to evolve as neighbourhood youth Parliament to get the village youth actively involved in governance process. This will inculcate the spirit of dignity of labour and community service and develop the personality of 1.67 crore youths," he said.
