ABSTRACT: Viksit Bharat, with its vision of becoming a global economic powerhouse, recognizes the critical role of human capital in driving sustainable growth and development. However, despite significant strides in recent years, the nation faces formidable challenges in education and skill development. This research paper explores the multifaceted obstacles hindering the effective investment in human capital in Viksit Bharat. Drawing on empirical evidence and existing literature, the paper examines challenges such as access to quality education, skill mismatch, infrastructure deficiencies, and socio-economic disparities. Furthermore, it proposes policy recommendations and strategic interventions to overcome these hurdles and foster the development of a skilled workforce essential for Viksit Bharat's prosperity.The challenges hindering the effective investment in human capital in Viksit Bharat are multifaceted and complex. Access to high-quality education is still a major challenge, especially in underserved and rural areas where socioeconomic inequality and poor infrastructure make learning more difficult. Furthermore, the growing disparity between the skills that are taught in formal education and the abilities that the changing labor market requires emphasizes how important it is to realign skill development programs with industry demands. In response to these challenges, this research paper proposes a holistic approach that emphasizes the need for comprehensive policy interventions and strategic investments. By addressing issues such as infrastructure development, teacher training, curriculum reform, and industry-academia collaboration, Viksit Bharat can create an enabling environment conducive to human capital development. Furthermore, it is crucial to promote inclusivity and fair access to opportunities for education and skill development to make sure that no part of society is left behind in the country's quest for economic progress. By putting evidence-based policies into practice and encouraging cooperation amongst stakeholders, Viksit Bharat may make the most of its human resource and advance toward being a major player in the world economy in the twenty-first century. This research paper serves as a roadmap for policymakers, educators, and stakeholders, providing actionable insights and recommendations to address the education and skill development challenges facing Viksit Bharat.
