Abstract	India, home to the world's largest youth population, recognizes its youth demographic as a pivotal 'window of opportunity' for national growth and development. The challenge lies in proactively addressing the multifaceted needs of this demographic to harness its potential effectively. This paper explores the intersection of youth, skill-based education, and national development, emphasizing the critical role of skill-based education in equipping the youth for a dynamic job market and fostering comprehensive socio-economic development. The National Education Policy 2020 serves as a transformative milestone, envisioning a holistic education system aligned with 21st-century goals. Key features include universal access to schooling, vocational integration, and targeted literacy goals, reflecting a commitment to nurturing a skilled and enlightened youth. The Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector emerges as a crucial player in inclusive industrial development, providing substantial employment opportunities and contributing significantly to the nation's economic fabric. The state of Odisha aligns with the national vision, undertaking initiatives contributing to the overarching goal of youth development and community engagement..The impact of these endeavors not only contributes to economic growth but also lays the groundwork for a socially conscious and globally competitive nation.
