The youth of a nation have a significant impact on society as a whole. For better or worse, more than 60% of the young contributed to Germany's victory in the First World War. Youth in India played a vital part in freeing India from British tyranny. It is up to the youth of a nation to make a difference in the world. Youth is the most vital and dynamic section of any country's population. It is expected that developing nations with a large young population will see enormous development if they invest in young people's education and health and safeguard and secure their rights. Without question, today's youth will be tomorrow's inventors, creators, builders, and leaders. However, they require assistance in excellent health, education, training, and chances to shape the future.

All developed countries have focused on building the skills and knowledge of their population for accelerating economic growth and social development in their nations. India is in a sweet spot as far as its demographics are concerned. India has a great opportunity to supply a workforce to its industries and the rest of the world. Presently, only 2 percent of the total workforce in India has undergone skill training. Three-fourths of the youth in the country have never enrolled in a skill development program.


Upskilling helps increase the productivity of an individual and thus helps the organization as well. Further, upskilling enables them to combat problems effectively, find alternative ways to tackle existing issues, boost morale as well as confidence and thus provide better output.


One of the most pressing problems in India remains a severe shortage of trained manpower in the medical stream, this includes doctors, nurses, paramedics and primary healthcare workers. The situation remains worrisome in rural areas, where almost 66 percent of India’s population resides. Today’s clinical trial workforce lacks systematic and industry-aligned training, standards, and vetting to ensure consistent quality. The issue can be suitably addressed by increasing the capacity of existing training institutes while adding new ones in the long run.


True Lessons, through its platform, caters to all these shortcomings. It began with an aim to bring the curated courses of the clinical sector to your fingertips. True Lessons also offers to opt for a specific submodule, if not the entire PG Diploma course. True Lessons has implemented a digital learning shift by creating a Med’EdTech platform.


Med’EdTech is medical education combined with technology. The Med’EdTech platform yields a solution to the existing challenges of pursuing further studies in the medical field & upskilling your skillsets as well. Leveraging the power of technology, the Med’EdTech platform simplifies the learning process of a student in the field of clinical research. It provides flexibility to the students to choose from an array of courses. Along with the privilege of learning remotely, they get access to an ocean of knowledge as they connect with industry experts having substantial experience. The syllabus is curated to the learnings involving current health care practices which makes Med’EdTech an ideal learning platform.


According to the World Economic Forum, at least 133 million new job opportunities may develop globally in the year 2022, implying that in 2022, more than half (54%) of all employees would require considerable reskilling. Furthermore, according to the India Skills Report 2020, employment remains an issue due to a mismatch between current skills and industry demands.


Much work has to be done in the skilling sector, particularly in emerging nations like India, to address the difficulties of fast economic growth and rising industrialization demands. The way forward is to reduce the number of dropouts via early skilling of adolescents and to permit training within formal schooling. If we can pull this off, there could be a silver lining at the end of the skills horizon.


While it is true that India must immediately engage in skilling the youth so that we may reap the benefits of our demographic dividend, it is equally critical that we, as citizens, do not view skilling as just a way of making money. In that sense, we must widen our perspective on skilling and see continuous skill improvement as a way of life, just as our forefathers did. The new and emerging platforms such as True Lessons are enabling ease of learning in the Med’EdTech space so that skilled employees initiate wonders in the rapidly changing dynamics of the world.
