MESSAGE FROM MINISTER’S DESK

Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, Minister of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship

“Leading the charge of Ministry ofSkill Development and

Entrepreneurship gives me amplehope to drive our country and itsyouth on to the path of progress. Ibelieve that in order to build anation of honor, there is noalternative to building a skilledmanpower. And skill comesthrough quality education andappropriate training. PM Modi'sSkill India mission is a mammothtask which we intend to achieve bybuilding a sustainable skillingecosystem. It envisagesforecasting skills according toemployee/industryrequirements while simultaneouslyequipping the youth withcontemporary skills and educationto make them capable to thrive ina globally competitive world. Ourlarger aim is to infuse innovation inour courses and entrepreneurshipspirit in our youth.

After taking stock of the newministry, I can see our ITI

ecosystem is undergoing a paradigmshift. The main focus is on designingappropriate syllabi and providingsupplementary practical learning to finetune skill sets with industry needs. Weare revamping and introducing newcourses in our skill ecosystem to cater tothe growing demands of the industry.

We recently introduced new affiliationand accreditation norms for ITIs and aresetting up satellite based interactivelearning program for ITI students inpartnership with ISRO to keep up withthe growing needs of the ever-changingcompetitive world. The foundation stoneof a Regional Vocational TrainingInstitute (RVTI) was laid in Hyderabadrecently to promote women training andempowerment. Six more RVTIs acrossthe country are in the pipeline. We arealso working towards providingacademic equivalence to ITI students,giving them the flexibility to pursueformal education later.

Further, the National ApprenticeshipPromotion Scheme (NAPS) is gainingmomentum, bridging the demand-supply gap in the employment market,by engaging with a number of myriadindustries. We are looking atstrengthening the technical educationsector and thereby boost innovation andentrepreneurship avenues for the youth.

We have signed long-term partnershipagreements with the Governments ofJapan, Belarus and Germany to benefitfrom their expertise in the vocationaleducation space and look forward toachieving a number of milestonesthrough these initiatives.

Four Japan-India Institutes forManufacturing (JIM) are already upand running and the Memorandumof Cooperation between Indianand Japan has also finalized forthe Technical Intern TrainingProgram (TITP). Our students areparticipating in the upcomingWorld Skills Competition in AbuDhabi, and I am sure they will bringlaurels for the nation.

A new Indian Institute of Skills is inthe making which will impartworld-class skills and adopt bestpractices from across thecountry. Our STRIVE scheme (SkillStrengthening for Industrial ValueEnhancement) has been given acabinet nod which has beenformulated to increase theaspiration value of skilldevelopment programs byincreasing the marketability ofskills, through better industryconnect and quality assurance.

All in all, I would say we have madea good, strong start and are wellon our way to achieving our goals.It is our collective responsibility tomake India the skill capital of theworld and significantly contributeto the per capita GDP growth. Ouryouth is a treasure trove waiting torealize its full potential.”
