Tripura, a state in the Northeast India, is bordered by Assam and Mizoram in the east, and Bangladesh on the other three side . It has second highest population in the Northeast India with an impressive literacy rate of 87.2% (Census 2011 ). The State offers a large pool of industry ready workforce and had a male workforce participation rate of 55.8% and female workforce participation rate of 23.6% in 2010-11.

The major strengths of the State lay in impressive road network and connectivity across the state, industry-ready resource pool and vibrant education facilities.

Hence, there is a dire need to conduct a Skill Gap Study to understand the emerging trends, opportunity sectors, priority sectors and the sectors where there would be substantial requirement of skilled manpower in next five years. Based on the Skill Gap Study DSD would be able to design skill development programmes for the State to ensure that the Skill manpower demand is catered to.
