India needs to have a holistic approach to vocational education

India needs to have a holistic approach to vocational education and skill development by having a defined approach for both short-term and long-term training courses to meet the objectives of the Skill India programmes. India needs to learn from technical and vocational training/education models in China, Germany, Japan, Brazil, and Singapore, who had similar challenges in the past, 

along with learning from its own experiences to adopt a comprehensive model that can bridge the skill gaps and ensure employability of youths.
