In this issue, our panel of interviewees, while talking about their respective departments of expertise, all agree that there is tremendous scope for skill development in India. Amongst the plethora of sub-sections in skill development, we have aimed to give a concise overview of the initiatives underway at the moment along with the various overseas collaborations that have been set up in India.
