Andhra Pradesh is pioneering India’s first statewide skill census, aiming to map skill gaps and strengths among its workforce. Building on the success of a pilot project in Mangalagiri, this initiative will cover 3.5 crore working-age individuals across 1.8 crore households. By aligning existing skills with industry demands and addressing youth unemployment, the census seeks to boost job creation and economic development. Innovative measures like linking Skill IDs to Aadhaar will enhance accessibility to skilling opportunities, showcasing Andhra Pradesh’s commitment to addressing employment challenges through targeted interventions.
