Today it is important that learning should accompany your learning, not stop.

'Today whoever has the skills will grow'

The Prime Minister said, 'Today there is so much demand for skills in the world that the one who has these qualities will grow. This applies to individuals as well as to the country. If education gives us information that what we have to do, then skill teaches us how that work will be done in real form. Skill India Mission is a program to match this truth step by step with this need.
