Abstract

Around 90 percent of the working population in India is engaged in informal sector. This sector is neglected as most the workers laws cover formal workers and workers in informal sector lack social security. These workers work with zero skill or minimum skill which affects their decent life. Informal sectors contribution to GDP often remains neglected. With the launch of ‘Make in India' initiative provides an opportunity to informal workers and hence there is need for employable skill which will help them in improving their living standard. Workers in informal small scale units lack skill and there is an urgent need to provide skill through internship, training centres etc as government of India is promoting indigenous manufacturing through ‘Make in India' initiative. Present study tries to find out the challenges and prospects of informal workers in small scale units in relation to skill development in Thane district.
