The Indian system of higher education is the third largest in the world, after those of the US and China. There are 900 universities and more than 45,000 affiliated colleges in India with a total enrolment of more than 20 million students. However, the employability of India’s university graduates continues to remain weak even while there is an acute shortage of skilled manpower in an increasing n

umber of high demand sectors. The youth is thus disillusioned about job opportunities post their studies. Unfortunately, though they have educational degrees, they lack skills and the experience to get employed. The Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), in consultation with the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports (GoI) and the National Skill Development Agency (NSDA), has started a project, titled ‘The National University Students Skill Development Programme (NUSSD) by introducing “Skill Training” for college students, so that the graduating youth acquire job related skills through immersive projects. This involves college student engagement over three years in a multi stakeholder collaborative model involving NGO’s, Universities and Corporates. NUSSD is aligned to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations and finds its mandate particularly interlinked to the fulfillment of SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) directly, and many other goals indirectly as well. In recognition of the efforts and impact, the United Nations (UN) Steering Committee on Children and Youth recognized the NUSSD Programme as a “Skill Development Best Practice” in the country.
