India, with growing industrialization, is poised to touch double-digit growth rate.

The 11th Five Year Plan seeks to achieve a faster and inclusive growth.

Trained/certified manpower of any country is an important component for economic development.

Industrial sector in India is facing serious manpower crunch

Employability of the labour force through development of suitable skills is needed

skill level and educational attainment of the workforce determines the productivity of Industry as well as the ability to adapt to the changing industrial environment.

A majority of Indian workforce does not possess marketable skills which is an impediment in getting decent employment and improving their economic condition

While India has large young population, only 5% -15% of the Indian labour force in the age group of 20-24 years has obtained vocational skills through formal means

About 63% of the school students drop out at different stages before reaching Class-X.

Annually, 40 lakh vocational training seats are available whereas 130 lakh persons enter Indian labour market.

large number of school drop outs, mainly 5th – 9th standard do not have access to skill development for improving their employability.

largest share of new jobs in India comes from unorganized sector that employs 93% (369 mln.) of the national workforce and contribute 60% of GDP.

Training programmes cater to the needs of the organized sector.

Hon’ble Minister of Finance during the budget speech 2005-06 made the following announcement:

“ To meet the demand for specific skills of a high order, a Public Private Partnership between Government and Industry is proposed to promote skills development programme under the name ‘Skill Development Initiative’….”.

• Skill Development Initiatives (SDIS) Scheme was conceptualized

• To Provide Training to School leavers, Workers, ITI, Graduates, etc.

• Testing & Certification of Skills acquired informally Capacity building in the areas of development of competency standards , curricula , learning material, assessment standards etc.

Demand driven short term training courses based on Modular Employable Skills (MES) decided in consultation with Industry. Central government will facilitate and promote training while industry, private sector and State Govts. will train the persons. Optimum utilisation of existing infrastructure to make training cost effective.

Flexible delivery mechanism (part time, weekends, full time, onsite/ offsite) to suit needs of various target groups.
