ABSTRACT
Education is no longer confined to the transmission of knowledge; it is about preparing
learners with the right skills to face the challenges of the 21st century. Edu Vision 2035,
inspired by the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, stresses the importance of skill
development as the foundation for empowering individuals and transforming society. Skillbased learning equips children with creativity, problem-solving, communication, and
technical expertise, making them capable of thriving in an evolving global economy.
Methods such as project-based learning, experiential learning, internships, role play, peer
learning, and the integration of technology enrich classroom practices and provide students
with opportunities to apply knowledge in real-world contexts. By adopting these approaches,
education not only enhances employability but also nurtures innovation, entrepreneurship,
and social responsibility. This paper explores the meaning of skill development, its benefits,
government initiatives, challenges, strategies, and the methods of teaching skills that will
enable children to settle, present, and enrich their talents for a brighter future.
