The majority of informal sector workers learn their skills on the job. An informal apprenticeship may provide basic skills but may not familiarize workers with new technologies or skills. Therefore, to capture the demographic potential of Indian labour force, the government must take an urgent and effective action to enhance their skill and employability. Hence, this paper discusses the link between Education, skill development, and Lifelong Learning.

Initially extension approach was adopted in India in the field of agriculture (lab to land) which has sown the seeds for green revolution and production of large quantity of food grains. This success was subsequently followed by many other departments like Dairy with the end result of white revolution, meaning production of large quantity of milk. Some of the departments have taken it on mission mode to achieve the results fast in a time bound manner by following intensive approach. The success made by other departments gave strength to education sector to follow such an experiment in its own area. Hence, came outreach or extension in education also. The objective of this approach is to take the knowledge on various aspects which are important in the day-today life of a common man to his door step so that he becomes aware of and follows in his life for his own functional improvement and lead a life with horizontal and vertical mobility. This article not only gives the importance of extension in education, but also how it has become an integral part of educational system, particularly higher education, and face challenges in its implementation.
