Activities already Planned by Gujarat Skill Development Mission as well as Ahmedabad District Are

Given Below:

The IT Portal & MIS system & Mobile Application will cover the entire value chain of skill

development of all schemes in the district; Registration, Enrolment, Attendance monitoring,

Assessment, Placement, Post Placement Tracking, TP Lifecycle Management, Payment Gateway,

Integration with Central Portals like SMART, SDMS etc.

Improving District’s Institutional & Staffing Capacity: For Institutional Strengthening at the

District Level GSDM will appoint a team of 3 persons in each district. The district team will comprise

skill & IT resources along with an office support for documentation, and data entry.

Ahmedabad District will undertake periodic skill gap studies to understand skill demand of primary,

secondary and tertiary industry sectors as well as expectations and aspirations of youth, parents, and

communities.

In addition to district skill gap report, GSDM will also prepare and publish Industry Sector Wise

and State Skill Gap Report. Skill gap report will touch base all the key skilling stakeholders namely

industry associations, employers, government departments having large scale skilling portfolio,

training/job seekers, training providers and communities.


Up gradation of course curriculum and NSQF alignment: Trades which are more attracted in the

district towards service sector courses mainly education and training, hospital and healthcare and IT-

ITES should be promoted. Courses relating to engineering goods, machineries and tools, chemicals,

pharmaceuticals and electrical & electronics are opted by the trainees among the manufacturing sector

courses.

Catering the skill demand of priority industries sector: With advancement in technology within

existing industries and expansion of industry sectors which were not quite prominent a decade ago in

the district, requirement of multi-skilled and specialized manpower has increased. With effect, the

training institutes are required to introduce new courses for priority industry sectors in the district.

Training of trainer and its certification: It is of utmost importance to have quality trainers who are

capable of training in line with industry requirement to ensure quality training. One major gap has been

observed in induction and refresher training of trainers. A residential seven-day induction training

should be mandatory for new recruits.

Improving women participation: Vocational Education and training are essential mechanism of any

strategy to improve farm and nonfarm productivity that improves rural incomes. Skill is the bridge

between job and workforce.

Women often have different training needs than men, since they are more likely to work as contributing

family workers, subsistence farmers, home-based micro entrepreneurs, or low-paid seasonal laborers,

in addition to handling their domestic work and care responsibilities.

Skills development is a key to improving household productivity, employability and income-earning

opportunities for women and also for enhancing sustainable rural development and livelihoods.

Candidate Mobilization, Counselling and guidance are amongst the biggest challenges of today’s

skill development space. There is a severe shortage of qualified career counsellors. At district level, the

skill institutes shall leverage the pool of professionals from industries, NGOs, Youth Clubs/Mahila

Mandals, Nehru Yuva Kendra, government and private institutions, who are willing to advise and guide

youth on career goals.

GSDM conduct cluster wise / District wise Workshops for mobilization, counselling activities

& Bhartimelas for employment with consultation with industries & Associations.

Good Practices in Training and employment undertaken by Ahmedabad district.

Introduction/Modification of Courses for Priority Industry Sectors

With advancement in technology within existing industries and rise in industry sectors which were not

quite prominent a decade ago, expansion have taken place requiring multi – skilled and specialized

manpower. With effect, the training institutes are required to introduce or upgrade their courses.

Therefore, new courses and few modifications to existing courses have been suggested for priority

industry sectors in the district.

Suggest the training providers to realign training and employment-related services in tune

with youth preferences and expectations to improve the impact of training.

Devise new models for collaboration and partnership with industries for developing a robust

skill development ecosystem for Gujarat.

Support unorganized and allied sectors through specially designed short term courses.


c. Resource requirement

For the successful implementation of the skill development programs in Ahmedabad district, following resources will be required

District Skill Development Officers (2 Post): Managing the Skill Eco system in the district.

Skill Development consultants (3 Post): To analyze existing Skill Development & Entrepreneurship

projects run by Central / State Ministries in the district.

IT & MIS Consultants (1 Post): Provide support and maintenance to existing management information systems (MIS) in the district.

Career Counsellor (2 Post): To Help and Motivate Candidates for better future in employment.

Data Entry Operator (1 Post): For Collecting and managing data record of skill activities in the district.

Office Supportive Staff (1 Post): Maintaining an efficient and friendly office routine and environment.

Ahmedabad District also need funding support for innovation in terms of design and deployment of general office requirements and also develop MIS system or skill registry.

d. Monitoring & Evaluation (including research studies)

Monitoring and evaluation play a critical role in ensuring the success of skill development programmes.

It requires a reliable, accurate and sustainable data collection system. In the current scheme of thing,

most of the skill development programs use mix approach of data collection comprising information

collection portals and paper-based data collection templates. It causes duplication of data, delay in

reporting and sometimes error in data. The governing bodies shall employ following measures to

design a robust data collection system.

M&E of Training Programs

Development of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for Skill Development Programs

Based on Result Based Monitoring (RBM) framework, GSDM will develop/or adopt KPIs for skill development

programs in the district.

Collection & Reporting of Skill Data

GSDM will collect data from all skill providers in Ahmedabad district on periodic basis. This data will have

analyzed for course correction, preparation of new programs and measurement of impact of skill development

programs.

District Level M & E Team

Monitoring and Evaluation team will be responsible for daily operations for MIS, trouble-shooting, grievance

redressed preventing mistakes, review and risk identification on day to day basis through surveys, observation,

inspection, reviews, data analysis etc.


Development of Management information system (MIS)

MIS is an organized approach to collect, process, store and disseminate data to carry out management

functions. It should be simple and easy to comprehend, allow access to information flow at different levels

(State, Regional, Nodal, End –User), consist feedback mechanism and should produce ready to use information

for decision making.

Gujarat State skill portal can be instrumental for local employers to locate and hire right skills for their

respective industries. Through the portal employers can access a database of trainees from ITIs, Polytechnics,

KVKs etc. as well as job seekers will also get a notification for available vacancies.

M&E of District skill development plan

Monitoring Committee

In order to assure appropriate implementation of DSDP, a monitoring committee will be constituted in GSDM,

the committee will take quarterly review on goals, targets and KPIs for each district.
