Why Haryana’s Wall Hurtsedit
“But the onerous challenge is the skills gap, both soft and technical, seen in the state where salaries are less than Rs 50,000 a month with huge inadequacy particularly in AI, ML, R&D skills, data science and the like. In the borderless world, even a faint whiff of protectionism to safeguard local jobs is going to be counterproductive. Instead, it should be seen as an opportunity, with industry and industry bodies playing an enabling role, to bridge skills gaps and empower young talent in Haryana to be amongst the most sought after.
