India faces a critical crossroads in youth employability, with a staggering unemployment rate of 44.49 per cent among individuals aged 20 to 24 (NITI Aayog, 2023). As the nation aims to become a $30 trillion economy by 2047, addressing the widening gap in skills and employment has never been more crucial. With millions of youth, particularly young women, hindered by barriers such as limited skill development, inadequate education, lack of access to credit, workplace safety concerns, and digital illiteracy, there is an urgent need to create accessible career pathways. NGOs are instrumental in addressing these barriers, turning challenges into opportunities, and equipping youth for both grey- and white-collar roles. By leveraging skilling programmes and industry partnerships, they create a workforce vital for driving and sustaining India’s growth.
