SKILLING INDIA: Theme of IITF 2012

The objective of Skill Development is to create a workforce empowered with the necessary and continuously upgraded skills, knowledge and internationally recognized qualifications to gain access to gainful employment and ensure Indias competitiveness in the competitive global market. It aims at increasing the productivity and employability of workforce (salaried and self-employed) both in the organized and the unorganized sectors. It seeks increased participation of youth, women, disabled and other disadvantaged sections as well as synergize efforts of various sectors. Attuning the present system with the enhanced capability to adapt to changing technologies and labour market demands, is yet another important aspect. According to the International Labour Organization Skill development is of key importance in stimulating a sustainable development process and can make a contribution in facilitating the transition from an informal to formal economy. It is also essential to address the opportunities and challenges to meet new demands of changing economies and new technologies in the context of globalization. Skills development can help build a virtuous circle in which the quality and relevance of education and training for women and men fuels the innovation, investment, technological change, enterprise development, economic diversification and competitiveness that economies need to accelerate the creation of more jobs. This is a major step towards poverty alleviation.

National Scenario
India is one of the few countries in the world where the working age population will be far in excess of those dependent on them.. As per the World Bank, this will continue at least three decades till 2040. This has increasingly been recognized as a potential source of significant strength for the national economy, provided we are able to equip and continuously upgrade the skills of the population in the working age group. In recognition of this need, the Government of India has adopted skill development as a national priority over the next 10 years. The Eleventh Five Year Plan detailed a roadmap for skill development in India, and favoured the formation of Skill Development Missions, both at the State and National levels. To create such an institutional base for skill development in India at the national level, a Coordinated Action on Skill Development with three-tier institutional structure consisting of the PMs National

Council on Skill Development, the National Skill Development Coordination Board (NSDCB) and the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) was created in early 2008.The main functions of the PMs National Council on Skill Development are : To lay down overall broad policy objectives, financing and governance models and strategies relating to skill development. To review the progress of schemes, and guide on mid-course corrections, additions and closure of parts or whole of any particular programme/scheme. Coordinate Public Sector / Private Sector Initiatives in a framework of collaborative action.

The NSDCB coordinates the skill development efforts of a large number of Central Ministries/Departments and States. The NSDCB, a Public Private Partnership was set up to catalyze the setting-up of large scale, for-profit sustainable vocational institutions in the country, by encouraging private sector participation and providing low-cost funding for training capacity. In addition, it is expected to fund supporting systems such as quality assurance, labor market information systems and train-the-trainer facilities. Thus, the three-tier structure together facilitates implementation of skill development on the ground through three main channels - Central Ministries, the State governments and private and public training organisations. In the Central Government, around 20 Ministries are closely involved in skill development, through training or funding such programmes. Ministries with Training Capacity 1. Ministry of Agriculture 2. Ministry of Communication and IT 3. Ministry of Health and Family Welfare 4. Ministry of Human Resource Development 5. Ministry of Labour and Employment 6. Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises 7. Ministry of Railways 8. Ministry of Road Transport and Highways 9. Ministry of Textiles 10. Ministry of Tourism

Ministries (Providing financial support for skill development through external training capacity) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Ministry of Commerce and Industry Ministry of Do NER Ministry of Minority Affairs Ministry of Rural Development Ministry of Food Processing Industries Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment Ministry of Tribal Affairs Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation Ministry of Woman and Child Development Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports

These Ministries mainly operate in one of two ways - through setting up own training capacity in specific sectors (examples of such ministries include Ministry of Labour and Employment, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare etc) or through providing per-trainee costs of training for specific target populations (examples of such Ministries include Ministry of Rural Development, Ministry of Women and Child Development etc). Most State Governments also have set up State Skill Development Missions as nodal bodies to anchor the skill development agenda in the State. SSDMs are expected to play a significant role in escalating the pace of skilling, through identification of key sectors for skill development in the State, as well as coordinating with Central Ministries, State Line Departments, and also with industry and private training organizations. Each State has adopted a structure of SSDM that best suits the local environment and the State vision for skill development. While some States have elected to form the SSDM as a Society or Corporation under the Chief Secretary or Chief Minister, others have housed it under relevant Departments such as Labour, Human Resource Development or Planning. Many states are starting to set year-wise targets for skill development, specifying the state budgetary allocation, and complementing Government efforts by encouraging private investment.
