India is one of the fastest growing countries in the world. Skills are essential for economic growth and social development for a country. The strength of India is its youth population. Most of the youth of India are not fully skilled as per the requirements of the industry. Skills and knowledge are the key factors in order to overcome hurdles and help India to embark on a road of endless growth. Skill development helps in reducing the unemployment level in the country.The present era has witnessed rapid technological advancement, the covid19 pandemic has also intensified the disruption in the world of work. Making students skillful is the ultimate aim of teaching. The Osmania Medical College, Hyderabad,Telangana state launched the first-of-its-kind ‘Skill Lab’ in Telangana. The lab is a valuable platform for medical professionals to practice procedural skills like trauma management, basic life support, pediatric emergency, obstetrics emergency and acute cardiac management.“ Medical education of the younger generation has shifted from bookish learning to skill learning".We need to take this seriously and all the departments, especially the clinical department should ensure proper training of the students in an emergency.The genesis of the skill labs is not only to train doctors and paramedics but also police and sanitation workers. The State government is procuring mannequins so that programmes can be done in different sections.
