The central government was preparing an index of skilled labour that will give national and international markets a database for hiring, said union minister Mahendra Nath Pandey on Friday.
 
Pandey, minister for skill development and entrepreneurship, said the ‘Labour Management Information System’ will have labour data categorised according to industry and geography.

“We have already working on this idea at the central level and have asked the state governments to also take it forward for optimising the skill development mission,” he said.
