  • The Karnataka Digital Economy Mission (KDEM) is the knowledge partner of the second Bengaluru Skill Summit.

மெயின்ஸ்

GS Paper 2 and GS Paper 3: human resource development and inclusive growth. Skill gaps and the mismatch between education and jobs call for coordinated institutions, such as state skill corporations, authorities and industry partners like KDEM, working under state and central skilling schemes. The way forward is scaling up skilling, linking training to industry demand and tracking placement outcomes to prepare the workforce for 2030.
