The Education to Employment and Enterprise (EEE) committee, established under the Union Budget 2026-27, held its inaugural meeting to discuss aligning India's education and skilling ecosystem with labour market demands.
Convened by NITI Aayog on May 22, the panel deliberated on labour force participation, youth employment, skill gaps, and workforce preparedness, with a focus on transitioning labour towards non-farm sectors.
The committee aims to help India achieve a 10% share of the global services market by 2047 by identifying priority areas for growth, jobs, and exports, while assessing the impact of frontier technologies on employment and skill requirements.
The meeting was attended by senior officials from eight central ministries and departments, four state governments, and five industry associations, along with experts from academia.
Chairing the meeting, NITI Aayog CEO Nidhi Chibber underlined the need for continued efforts to align education, skilling, and employment ecosystems with the evolving requirements of the economy.
The panel resolved to develop future-ready policy responses for bridging the gap between education, employment, and entrepreneurship through coordinated action among the Centre, states, industry, and academia.
