The paper tries to analyze and theorize sociologically the history of knowledge production over a period of time and how it has been institutionalized formally within the boundaries of education. Particularly the post-industrialization era impacts a lot in the educational domain which directly impacts the dynamism of educational attainment and its direct implication on the market. Thus vocational education is one of them which contributes directly to the production and maintenance of industrial goods and products. Thus the paper broadly tries to highlight the discourse on higher education in general and the vocational education system in particular in the context of India. It tries to articulate how the skill-based training or skill-based education program has been institutionalized in the form of vocational education and its current implications.
