Not only aspiring young entrepreneurs, even retired professionals enthusiastically plunged into the Start-Up bandwagon. Most of them explored hitherto unheard of avenues in the vast information technology space. Apart from business and professional applications, information technology is fast infiltrating into social and personal lives also, as an essential tool encompassing all walks.<br \/>\nUndoubtedly, the Centre\u2019s demonetization drive had its own negative impacts, temporary though, on the public, especially those in the lowest strata. However, this step has given a fillip to the digitalization process, thereby strengthening the grip of information technology over the masses. The Centre\u2019s another pet project, \u201cDigital India\u201d, will carry this drive forward.<br \/>\nLet us view the changing scenario clubbed with the most serious problem the country is facing, unemployment.

Here comes the relevance of yet another significant programme of the Centre, \u201c<strong>Skill India<\/strong>\u201d.<br \/>\nA unique feature of the government\u2019s mega projects and programmes is that they are interlinked. Even the <em><strong>Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan<\/strong><\/em> is no different. Many Start-Ups are involved in scientific way of waste management.<br \/>\nIn India today, there is no dearth of opportunities for skilled people. Also, scope for setting up business galore for qualified professionals with entrepreneur skills. What is needed is a drastic change in mindset, attitude and approach. Instead of wasting time waiting for opportunities to come to your doorstep, make use of the opportunities available by acquiring requisite <strong>skill and technology<\/strong>. Use your imagination to pursue unexplored avenues of businesses under the Start-Up drive.<br \/>\nProducing skilled manpower by imparting requisite knowledge and training itself is an ocean of opportunities.<br \/>\nInstead of lamenting on unemployment or lack of opportunities, <span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>start thinking Start-Up<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Even the harshest critics of government of India won\u2019t disagree with the fact that one of its ambitious programmes, \u201cStart-Up India\u201d, started off with a bang and going gung-ho.
