"The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship is going to incentivize the districts and states to work with industry to mitigate their skill gaps, and that needs a hyper-local approach in order to ensure that we move towards a future-ready workforce," a senior government official said on Monday.

Speaking at the CII Smart Manufacturing Summit 2025 in the capital city Delhi, the Secretary in the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, Debashree Mukherjee, added that the hyper-local focus would be on particular clusters and the planning needed there.

“The idea of hyper-local planning to try to ensure that skill requirement gaps at the district level, at the division level, align with investments. We are going to try to incentivize districts and states to plan with industries to address skill requirements. Hence, hyper-local planning to try to analyze where these skill clusters exist, and where our planning requirements exist, and how can we fulfill these requirements,” said the secretary.

She also said the ministry dealing with skill development and entrepreneurship was exploring the use of AI-assisted regulatory systems to ease compliance.

The secretary further stated that the portals of the Skill India Digital Hub (SIDH) and the National Career Service (NCS), which are managed by the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship and the Ministry of Labour & Employment, respectively, have been connected and will allow the mapping of these jobs with the available workforce equipped with the necessary skills through the use of artificial intelligence (AI).

We have the SIDH portal (Skill India Digital Hub) and the labor has the NCS portal, where a lot of industries are putting up their job requirements. We have connected the NCS and the SIDH portals, and we will start sending notifications within the next 15 days using AI based on the job requirements to those who possess the necessary skills in their area, she added.
