BACKGROUND
India has the largest youth population in the world, based on research by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). With 356 million young people, there are evident gaps between the demands made upon young people by a fast-moving world, and the skills and tools they are equipped with to meet those demands. The impact of this gap can be seen in rising unemployment rates, decreasing job satisfaction levels and a general societal attitudes towards the youth.
