Relevance of Skill Enhancement Course under NEP 2020 with Special Reference to Assam

The socio-economic conditions of a state are influenced by the nature of youth employment and their work ethics, which directly affect the production, exchange, and distribution of various economic goods. All the principles of a genuine democracy can be appreciated by a government that promotes economic democracy. For effective economic democracy, individuals, particularly the youth, must possess efficiency and technical proficiency along with innovative ideas and skill-based expertise. Education plays a crucial role in this area, as emphasized by the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP). Many states in India have begun to implement the NEP, aiming to transform the nation's socio-economic landscape by guiding the people of India through the reform of the traditional education system. Assam is among the states that have adopted the NEP via several universities. Additionally, it is anticipated that the NEP will help alleviate unemployment issues by offering Skill Enhancement Courses (SEC).
