Abstract
The technical education system in the country has grown into a fairly large-sized one, offering opportunities for technical education in a wide range of disciplines keeping in view the emerging need of the economy. India has the second highest population of the working age (15–59) in the world but it is very crucial to examine further what proportion of this population should be skilled one. Before the planning period, there were only about 50 technical Institutions, whereas today the number is more than 10,000 in the country. Because of high growth in number of technical institutions, availability of required number of skilled Manpower has contributed speed to the engines of economic growth. In the present paper, an effort has been made to review the current status of the technical/skill education in the country. What are signals in the labour market keeping in view the concept of Make in India initiated by the government?
