Who are going to be benefited most from the Skill Development Allowance Scheme? If your answer is- every unemployed person between the age of 16-36, then you are straight way wrong. What about a villager, who lives in a village and having no access to city. Will he be able to make the best utilization of this grant? Never! With the help of the meager amount of one thousand one cannot move from village to nearby city for skill development. There this amount will not buy him even a single room on rent. Moreover we don’t have academic and professional skill development resources located in villages. So what are they going to do with this money is a question policy makers should ponder over. Himachal Govt. should launch a parallel scheme for unemployed rural youth, which will help them in real sense.
