The Parliamentarians were addressing the session on Indias Demographics: Challenges & Opportunities at the CII National Conference and Annual Session 2008 on Building People: Building India being held on 29 and 30 April 2008 at New Delhi.
Advocating the need for a collective effort by all constituents of society including government, industry, political parties and media for universal primary education, Mr Sachin Pilot, Member of Parliament (Indian National Congress) called for distinguishing between knowledge, educational degrees and skill sets as the components of employability. Admitting the existence of disguised unemployment in the agricultural sector, he emphasized the need for expansion of options for gainful employment of youth in the non-farm sectors.
Mr B J Panda, Member of Parliament (Biju Janata Dal) suggested induction of the private sector in the forefront of education administration in India. He also urged the private sector to participate in the primary education system. Stressing on the need for enhancing the effectiveness of government spending, Mr. Kirti V Singh, Member of Parliament (Samajwadi Party) reiterated that focus on education in rural India was key to improvement of education levels in India. He also suggested setting up of district level skill institutes for catering to specific training requirements.
Acknowledging the belief about Indias demographic dividend, Mr Suresh Prabhu, Member of Parliament (Shiv Sena) cautioned against the rapidly increasing population which was indeed acting as a constraint since growth in population does not transmute to a growth of the working population.
Identifying skill formation and upgradation as the primary issues of concern, Mr. Mohammad Salim, Member of Parliament, Lok Sabha (CPM) stressed on the need of focus on vocational education to enhance vertical mobility in the economic system.
Accentuating the importance of transparency and accountability of Government spending, Ms Supriya Sule, Member of Parliament (Nationalist Congress Party) shared details about the implementation of programs like Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan in the state of Maharashtra.
