Abstract:
Skills and knowledge drive economic and social advancement for any country in the world and women are an integral part of this advancement. Improving women's access to education and training opportunities is crucial to achieving gender equality in the workplace. The government of India is running many skill development programmes for women to improve their socio-economic status and contribution to the country's economy. This also aimed at gender equality and filling the industrial and service sectors' workforce. But there are several barriers to rural women's skill development that must be removed before the government's skill development objective can be realised. Therefore, it is critical to understand rural women's challenges and find solutions that help them acquire and hone new skills. In this review article, we have discussed the role of skill development programmes in changing women's socio-economic status, confidence, and self-image and the problem and challenges in skill development training for women in India.
