The biggest impediment for India’s growth today is the lack of skilled manpower despite the fact that India has the world’s largest population of youngsters below 25 years of age.

Unless India quickly expands its educational infrastructure, this advantage could become liability as unskilled and unemployed youth could be a very destructive force. However, India could empower its youth by imparting skill which would ensure employment and inspire them to make positive contribution towards the country’s growth.

To achieve that Mr. Chopra has started several CSR initiatives under PS Group appropriately named as ‘Nayee Disha’ and ‘Supersoft’ with a mission to empower over one million youngsters with skills that would make them employable. Already several thousand youngsters from different strata of society are being trained under these initiatives with vocational as well as soft skills.
