A brain surgeon or medical doctor will fail if she or he tries to do difficult plumbing job.
But an illiterate but experienced plumber in India can do that job perfectly because he has skills and develops it everyday with experience.
A brain surgeon's expertise is brain surgery and not plumbing.
So a brain surgeon should update latest technology & issues related to brain as well as expert & experienced doctor's skill.

A nurse can not do heart operation even if she is there in the operation theatre while operation is done.
This is because she is not skilled to operate. She is skilled to offer help, not operation skills. And she is not certified to do operation.
Yes, both her and doctor spend same time in operation theatre. Infact she spends more time.
So a doctor has a medical skills to operate and has sufficient certification, knowledge & experience.

So skill development is for people from all categories in all countries.
Because even if one has skills, one must update them because new technologies are emerging.
But we limit our skill development forum to only a few skills, typically for those who desparately need them for their survival.

Skill development is practical experience.
Seminars, conferences or experts on the issue based in different countries or within the country where one lives update the skills you have.

We share the programmes related to skill development from different countries but with a difference.
We share links to the programmes and not our views because everyone has different views or perspectives.
And we dont want to be the judge.
The other important thing about links is one can directly reachout to related NGOs, Corporates, Funding Agencies, Philanthropists, celebrities, UN and Government.
"Not through us" is important because we dont want to be in betweens or agents. And more importantly, we can not do justice to answering thousands of calls on which NGO on which issue or which corporate helps particular issue or for a particular issue which funding agency helps in any specific country.

The insufficient skills and illiteracy compel the poor section of the society to put more physical efforts than those which really need.. So despite sweating hard, they manage only daily wage.
Because they dont have skills, they use human labour elements.
If the same person is a skilled plumber, then it benefits her or him live life and gives them relaxation time to conserve energy for tomorrow.
Its the same story for agriculture or children or disabled or women or youth or whatever category one thinks of.

Even in the films, a skiiled actor doesnt need too many retakes.
The first shot manytimes is ok. It not only saves time for her or him, but for all the people associated there and it really makes economic sense to be skilled artist.

Now for some, this skill was always there but even the best artist is not a perfect artist.
She or he needs to upgrade skills, know latest technological advances .. so skill development is like a Change which is constant.
