As we get into 2020, India’s median age will be 20 and we will have the youngest work force globally. Off the total global workforce by then almost 28% will be available in India. In order to harshness the fall demographic dividend. India need a educational system which is of high quality affordable, flexible and relevant to the individuals, economy and to the society as a whole, presently, the country faces a demand - supply mismatch, as the economy needs more ''skilled" workforce and also managers and entrepreneurs then created annually. In fact, majority of the contemporary institutions of higher learning remain almost disconnected with the requirements of the workplace. The skill oriented courses available in the market have low credibility and acceptability by the employers. The traditional higher education system in the country is also rigid in terms of duration of courses, timings for teaching-learning, place of study and choice of subjects. There is a worldwide shift from conventional educational system to competence based qualification system. With a view to make skills acquired by the learners acceptable nationally, the curricula and system of certification should align with the National Occupational Standards. In order to facilitate offering of nationally standardized skill related programmes the Government of India along with MHRD and UGC, have given shape to the concept of "Community College" in India.
