KEY POINTS
Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana was a skill development initiative that focused on recognition and standardisation of skills.
The government invests about Rs 4,000 crore on its skilling mission annually, managed through the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC).
Unable to meet requirements
· The focus is on rules and not on the big picture of skilling. For example, a skill centre with classrooms is bound to be rejected by the NSDC as one of the classrooms falls short of the specified requirement.
· Payments are held up often affected by typical red tapism. This affects their viability.
· Training is more focused on imparting theoretical knowledge, practica experience is often lacking among the skilled youths.
What can be done?
· Industry could approach the respective Skill Development Council and publish skill-wise demand for workers on a public platform. Based on their specific needs, skilling firms then impart training at competitive prices.
· The certified skilled manpower details can be published on the SDC platform for industry to hire.
· Industry could access a pool of skilled workers from training providers for internship.
Skilling firms with a good placement track record can be rewarded rather than punishing those with low placement records. This will be a right step in aligning the skill training mission for jobs.
