Fellows Seminar Series | Building 21st-Century Skills for Viksit Bharat

India’s demographic advantage presents a strategic window of opportunity to build a globally competitive and future-ready workforce. This demands that traditional education systems evolve to equip young learners with transferable and job-relevant competencies, commonly referred to as ‘21st-century skills’. Anchored in the context of India’s socio-economic and policy landscape, this seminar will discuss elements of a strategic framework for integrating 21st-century skills into the education and skilling ecosystems, aligned with the vision of a Viksit Bharat (Developed India) by 2047. The seminar builds on a research paper that highlights how these skills can bridge the growing employability gap in India, while also enhancing educational outcomes.
