Abstract According to a literature study conducted by researchers on skill development in India, the presence of talent gaps is a major concern. In order to fully utilize India's demographic advantage, it is imperative that the workforce be equipped with modern and future-oriented skills. Prioritization should be given to enhancing skills relevant to emerging economic developments, as this will enable India to transform into a knowledge economy and meet global skill demands. The inability to connect education with job-related skills has resulted in a significant number of unemployed youths, with approximately 2.5 million educated individuals in Assam currently without work. To address this issue, the Skill India mission was launched on November 9th, 2014. The National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) was established for expanding vocational education networks and supporting private sector initiatives in skill development. Sector Skill Councils (SSCs) were also formed for institutionalizing industry-led training programs, with the NSDC incubating and supporting them. The introduction of the National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) aimed at harmonizing academic and vocational education systems while reducing duplication; however, its implementation faced risks due to an informalized economy, low-quality general academic education standards, and fragmented skills ecosystems within India. Although created by SSCs formulated solely by industries themselves - both National Occupational Standards (NOS) &Quality Packs (QPs), which were primarily associated with developing NSQF - they were rarely accepted by industry stakeholders. Skill shortages are indeed a real problem requiring resolution through updating curriculums aligned per industry requirements under NSQF guidelines; these curriculums must strike an appropriate balance between general education principles &practical skill development based on DACUM methodology so as not to create negative attitudes towards skilled courses amongst young people. A unilateral approach towards mapping levels according to remuneration criteria would be required along with eligibility conditions for growing favorable perspectives about short-term &long-term vocational courses under Skill India Mission framework guidelines. Unfortunately though NSQF failed concerning concerns such as shortage of TVET qualified teachers', lack of industry engagement leading supply-driven system issues etc., successful implementation of these initiatives can help develop entrepreneurial skills among youth enabling eradication of unemployment problems prevalent across regions today. It is now essential that we prioritize developing relevant skills capable enough bridging gaps while preparing individuals for future challenges ahead .
