Schemes
Deen Dayal Antyodaya Yojana

Deen Dayal Antyodaya Yojana
·        To provide Skill training to poors in cities and villages. Unemployment gone, poverty gone.
·        By 2020, developed nations will have shortage of ~57 million workers. Foreign companies will have to outsource work elsewhere.
·        Modi wants them to “Make in India”. BUT companies want four things first:
·        Ease of doing business- file clearance without suitcase-raj.
·        Stable taxation policy.
·        Industrial location factors that we saw under Geography.
·        Cheap but skilled labour force. (India will have ~47 million new workers by 2020).
·        Every year, 12 million Indians join workforce but out of them only 10% are skilled. In EU (70%), China (50%)
·        Therefore, success of Make in India, will depend on success of Deen Dayal Antyodaya Yojana.
