Skill Building India
Countries are competing with each other to get a strong hold of the global market and business. This has created an intensely competitive scenario. As a result, developing countries are facing challenges where on one hand the associated economies are vying to be a part of the rat race and on the other there is tremendous pressure to care for the citizens.

India, the largest and the youngest democracy of the world boasts of a young working population with more than 54% of the total population below 25 years of age. Our workforce is the second largest in the world after China’s. However, our skilled workforce is approximately 2%. This is quite low in comparison to other countries such as Japan, South Korea and even China. It leaves immense room for development. Our masses need to need to be trained and groomed. The need of the hour is to develop job-centric skills and create more employment opportunities. The ‘Skill India Mission’ was launched in May 2015 with this vision. The aim of the mission is to create a workforce that can be quite efficient, for the international market, by 2022. The efforts initiated within the framework of the mission are likely to make India a highly skilled country in the years to come. The long term aim is to train over 40 crore people!
The initial step of the mission is to take stock of the situations that may have made us incompetent for the global competition. There could be multiple factors involved due to our peculiar demography, socio-economic setup and even the structure of our academic system. It has been underscored that our graduates lack basic communication and problem solving skills.
Consistent with the dream of empowering our youth, the mission kick started by developing appropriate infrastructure to raise large skilling factories where youth can be trained for a number of professions, so that they are able to contribute towards our GDP. Many rural folks have benefitted from the campaign, so far.
Ruchi’s Institute of Creative Arts (RICA) is a proud supporter of the mission. As such, RICA is concentrating on developing a holistic training curriculum to make its students job-ready. All the courses offered by RICA are exquisitely designed for this purpose. Our teachers deploy a variety of applied and experiential learning approaches that in turn stimulates students to apply their theoretical learning to the modern world. We offer opportunities for internships and industry projects to support the transition of our students. Furthermore, students can expect to be trained in a manner that will enable them to take up exciting jobs in the modern business world. Our teaching pedagogy is devoted to evolve technical education beyond a utilitarian function. We offer unique learning spaces and framework to support our students in their learning endeavors. The support, offered, has helped students to develop their communication and problem solving skills. In other words, RICA concentrates on the all-round development of its students who later go on to become confident and job-ready individuals.
