Skill Development in India & the North East
Skill development is the bridge between India’s young population and its fast‑growing services economy, especially in hospitality and tourism, which already support around 46–47 million jobs and nearly 9–10% of total employment in the country. With India welcoming about 20 million international visitors in 2024 and tourism contributing roughly ₹3.1 trillion in international visitor spending, employers now seek youth who are trained in customer service, digital tools, languages, and sustainable tourism practices.
National initiatives such as the Tourism & Hospitality Skill Council and partnerships under Skill India are designed to upskill tens of thousands of young people every year, directly linking short-term vocational programmes to jobs as hotel staff, tour operators, and travel services professionals. As a result, industry hiring sentiment remains strongly positive, with travel and hospitality recording net employment growth of about 5–6% in the latest half-yearly outlook, signalling sustained demand for skilled youth across frontline and managerial roles.
For the youth of North East India, skill development in hospitality and tourism is especially powerful because it converts the region’s natural beauty and cultural diversity into local livelihoods. Although the North Eastern Region currently draws less than 5% of India’s total tourist arrivals, it already receives around 12 million domestic and 0.15 million foreign tourists annually, creating substantial scope for trained local guides, homestay hosts, transport operators, and eco‑tourism entrepreneurs.
Studies on tourism in the North East suggest that sustainable tourism alone could add up to ₹1 lakh crore to the region’s GDP over the next decade, provided local youth are equipped with market‑relevant skills and supported through schemes like Capacity Building for Service Providers (CBSP) and Incredible India Tourist Facilitator Certification. At the same time, policy frameworks on skill development in the North East highlight that targeted training aligned to niche opportunities such as festival tourism (for example, around the Hornbill Festival), handloom, handicrafts, and eco‑tourism can generate meaningful employment at home and reduce outward migration of young people seeking jobs in distant metros.
The Indian Army has played a vital role as a bridge between the youth of the North East and skill development institutes, significantly enhancing awareness and access to vocational training opportunities. Through its outreach programs and community engagement efforts, the Army has actively promoted skill development initiatives, providing critical publicity and guidance to local youth about available training options in hospitality, tourism, and other sectors. By facilitating connections with reputed training centers and often assisting with logistics and mentoring, the Army has made these skill-building opportunities more accessible and trusted among the youth. This support has transformed skill development into a popular and viable pathway for employment and entrepreneurship, empowering young people in the North East to build sustainable livelihoods within their communities.
