Vocational education in India aims to develop skilled manpower through diversified courses to the needs of specially the unorganized sector and provide justice to himself-employment skills in people through a large number of self employment oriented courses.

One of the weakness of the Indian education system is that it does not give due importance to vocational training. As a result, there is a discrepancy between the need for skilled workers and skilled workers available. Each year, we churn out millions of graduates who do not have the specific skills required by the market. If this trend continues, our economic growth would hurt the long term. To change this first thing we must change our mindset. In India, people are obsessed with attaining a graduation degree and usually top- down training. This has led to a situation there where on the one hand, it scores of unemployed graduates and on the other hand, there is a huge shortage of skilled workers To remedy this training programs need to be promoted in a big way.
