The country has suffered through the loss ofsoldiers at many warfronts recently. Humanrisks being at maximum risks to be sufferedat different war conditions. Border issues had proved into the losses of human assets as well as ammunition. Soldiers' life is always at risk fighting with the last chance of success. With loss in resources always affects the situations at warfronts. Sometimes lack of ammunition let the conditions to suffer. Border frontiers often needs ammunition and human resources in long running fights. Distant ammunitionbases lead the assets to be transported leading to halting in vulnerable places specially in north and north-east jungle areas. Halting leading to portable bases forspecific period of time during transportation. With less human assets and soldiers there is always high risks of assetsmanipulation in portable camps or bases with less security. These manipulations canlead to delayed supports at warfronts. Improving camp and base security is ofsignificance in increasing soldier's life security as well as avoiding manipulation ofnonhuman assets. Low cost, less time consuming, easily executable form of security is needed to beneficial at times. Many incidents of BSF camps attacks havebeen reported recently in the regions ofnortheast and Kashmir borders in India. Here militants had attempted to enter the camps with suspected intension at nights. Having thoughts of how would have this been avoided leads to the conclusion ofhaving improving security with more no oftechnologically assisted layers in security. Surrounding the camps with increased levelof security with different security layersgiving associated alerts, detecting the suspected actions in nearby region, intrusion alarms and improved self-defenceattacks can be profitable. Implementation and management of layers and dealing withthe capacity of these layers to transmit information can be easily exploited not letting any soldiers dealing with risk in anycondition of intrusion by adding attacks in a way such that it minimises human intervention. Optimizing the installation criteria in respective to the process which involves reducing the installation cost and execution of military security helps in making these security systems smart and more volatile. The projects focussing on developments of such security layers has todeal with minimizing loss to human assets and also the appropriate attacks to reduce the intrusions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

India being the youngest nation in terms of human resources is still grappling with the challenge of skilling 109 million across 24 sectors by 2022. Only 4.69 % have undergone formal training. The present capacity to train stands at 3.4 million people per year while over 12 million people join the workforce annually. A little over 92 per cent of our workforce is engaged in unorganized labour. The beginnings are made but there are inadequacies and gaps existing in the Skilling implementation process which hamper the speed and impact of skilling mechanism in the Country and consequently the low industrial growth. The current paper is a case study of Sikkim which attempts to examine the differences in the perceptions of various stakeholders against a few glaring inadequacies and gaps in the execution of skilling mechanism in the State. These inadequacies are-inadequate information on availability of skill courses to the trainees, lack of clarity on eligibility criteria, employment avenues and training centers, absence of documentation information and other formalities. These were highlighted in a focus group discussion which was conducted in 2016 in the Directorate of Capacity Building Skill State Department with representatives of the various stakeholders before undertaking a conclusive study to highlight differences across stake-holders in priority of identified inadequacies.
