Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Research in Embedded System - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1

Abstract

Skill and knowledge are the driving forces of economic growth and social development for any country. Countries with higher and better levels of skills adjust more effectively to the challenges and opportunities of world of work. Potentially, the target of group of skill development comprises all those in the labor force, including those entering the labor market for the first time, those employed in organized sector and those employed in unorganized sector. When we refer to the term skill it comprises both technical or job related skill (motor skills, hard skills) and also it includes life skills or people skills (soft skills). Life skills is a term which refers to personality traits, social graces, facility with language, personal habits, friendliness and optimism that mark people to varying degrees. There are diverse understandings of life skills, but no classification is universally established. Life skills comprise a wide range of generic skills that help an individual to cope with various facets of life. A life skill is not a complete replacement of hard skills but rather complement hard skills. Life skills play an important role in a working sector. It is essential to be technically sound, but one should also have the ability to convey the idea to the masses. Planning is necessary but execution is also equally important and it takes life skills to execute any idea as it involves dealing with people. India has set a target of skilling 500 million people by 2022, it is important to develop expertise technically, but this is not the sole means to higher-level opportunities for most people. It is important to recognize the growing importance of life skills which must be identified, developed in a person if a nation has to develop holistically
