Mr Anil Mathur Chairman

Dear Stakeholders,

On behalf of Governing Council Members and on my behalf, I am pleased to present 3rd Annual Report of Furniture & Fittings Skill Council (FFSC). The report captures the progress made by FFSC during the last one year.

I am indeed privileged to be associated with this Council which works with the objective of establishing an effective and efficient ecosystem for the furniture and fittings industry. FFSC is working hard to meet the skilled manpower needs of the furniture & fittings industry.

During last one year FFSC has successfully certified 7866 candidates in short term training programme of Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojna (PMKVY II). In RPL, 63,454 candidates were successfully certified in PMKVY II scheme. I am glad that FFSC is working for the beneficiaries of National Backward Classes Finance and Development Corporation, National Scheduled Castes Finance and Development Corporation and National Safai Karmacharis Finance and Development Corporation under the aegis of Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment. Recently, FFSC has signed the MoU with National Backward Classes Finance and Development Corporation to start a pilot project of skill development training of beggars in Bihar and West Bengal. This effort will help in mainstreaming the underprivileged community of the society.

FFSC is also operating two mobile skill vans “Kaushal Rath” in the state of Jharkhand for doing the RPL programme in the remotest corner of the state. The vans are enabled with GPS system and provides real time location for a better monitoring.

In order to provide employment opportunities to its certified youths, FFSC has tied up with Housejoy and Skillemployee.com and has also launched own online job portal www. ffscmerahunar.com. As a regular activity FFSC organised meet for affiliated Training Partners and Assessment Agencies. These meetings act as a knowledge sharing platform for all our stakeholders and help in raising the standards of training and assessment.

Quality of skill development training is crucial for FFSC. FFSC has been taking efforts and initiatives for strengthening its commitment towards Skill India Mission by putting in place an effective training delivery mechanism. However, even today skilling is perceived as the last resort meant for those who have not been able to progress in the formal academic system. This mental block has only increased the gap between what the industry requires and what is currently available. We have to work together to minimise this gap. For this we need support from all of you.

I take this opportunity to express my deep appreciation for the valuable support given by industry members, training partners and assessment agencies from time to time. I convey my special thanks to all the esteemed stakeholders of the Council for their constant cooperation and reposing continued confidence in this Council. I am confident that with all your support we will bring distinguishable changes in the lives of the unemployed youths. Once again, I thank you all for your support and trust. I hope we will get your support in all our future endeavours. I always need your support, guidance and collaborative effort to move FFSC in the right directon.

Best Regards, Anil Mathur

Mr Anil Goel

Co-chairman

Dear Stakeholders,

Skilling has emerged as one of the most pressing issues before the country and serious deliberations are on for finding ways to fill up the demand gap for skilled carpenters. This is a dire need, and the problem is not about the number of workmen available, but about the unavailability of enough people with the right skill set.

Labour cost accounts for 12-15% of the cost of furniture in India, and more than three million people are engaged in the INR 1,00,000 crore furniture sectors within its industrial units or as freelance carpenters. The real problem is not with the number of workmen available in the market, but with their not having the right skills.

The industry is in a transformational stage, we are witnessing a shift from conventional carpentry to modular furniture. This is creating a demand for workers with varied skills including ability to work on modern machines such as CNC routers and beam saws, ability to use modern hardware, skills to assemble ready to assemble/ flat packed furniture at the customer’s place, and ability to use modern tools and processes and work with different types of wood substitutes. It is evident that if the carpenters are not up-skilled or re-skilled to meet the industry needs, their employability will be adversely impacted. If end consumers get the right material at the right price in right manner, that is fitted properly, they can have quality furniture made at a much lower cost. If the carpenter knows how to fit, drill, what to use and where, he will be able to complete the work more efficiently. I am happy that FFSC is working towards meeting the requirement of industry.

FFSC is in a constant endeavour to set high benchmarks for furniture and fittings training and development. I am pleased that FFSC has created a pool of more than 600 trainers and assessors till July 2018 for imparting quality training. The use of power tools, introduction of test projects, online assessment, surprise visits, stringent monitoring process are few of the initiatives taken by FFSC. I hope and believe the efforts of spearheading a number of activities have benefited the ecosystem.

I with my stakeholders of FFSC want to build a skilled workforce for the industry. Our initiative will benefit end users, carpenters and of course the entire industry.

If end consumers get the right material at the right price in right manner, that is fitted properly, they can have quality furniture made at a much lower cost. If the carpenter knows how to fit, drill, what to use and where, he will be able to complete the work more efficiently. Then only we can say our trainees have been properly skilled.

To conclude, FFSC has always given emphasis on an inclusive and sustainable skill ecosystem for the furniture and fittings domain. As I look ahead, I see unprecedented opportunities for our skilled manpower as the Indian economy accelerates ahead. We envisage better placement linked quality oriented training.

I would like to extend my gratitude to each and every one for their incomparable valuable guidance and support in this exciting journey of skilling. Warm Regards, Anil Goel

Mr Gurpal Singh Chief Executive Officer

Dear Stakeholders,

India is known for its traditions, cultures, heritage and it has established its reputation in the field of wood crafts and furniture. The Indian wood and furniture industry mainly dominated by unorganised sector which makes a marginal contribution to the nation’s GDP. The Indian furniture industry is gradually transforming into a more organised and competitive sector. The entry of global brands in the market, emergence of large retail players and the increase in domestic demand have been contributing this transformation. With major emphasis placed on digitalisation, integration and automation, and fourth industrial revolution the furniture industry is getting redefined. These changes in turn requires right skilled manpower in the industry. Here the role of FFSC becomes crucial in developing and strengthening the training skill ecosystem in India.

Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE), Government of India, has made industry friendly amendments to the Apprenticeship Act to expand the scope across manufacturing and services sectors and ensure successful implementation of the National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPs). Under the scheme, Government of India will share 25% of the prescribed stipend subject to a maximum of INR 1500/- per month per apprentice with the employers. In addition, Government of India will also share the training cost subject to a maximum of INR 7500 per apprentice with the Basic Training Providers. I request you all to support to enrol apprentices by registering on the Apprenticeship portal. It will help in reducing the skill gaps one of the biggest challenges faced by the employers in getting the right skilled people.

RPL with Best in Class Employers has been introduced by Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE), Government of India to enhance the industry acceptability of RPL certification and extend the outreach of the scheme directly to reputed employers/ industries across sectors. This scheme will benefit both the employees and employers. I urge to the industry members to come forward and get their employees certified under RPL – Best in Class Employers.

The regional competitions for selection of candidates IndiaSkills 2018 has been completed. The selection of candidates for Nationals IndiaSkills 2018 is under process. The selected candidates will represent India in Joinery & Cabinet Making trades at WorldSkills 2019, Kazan, Russia. Here the role of industry is vital in providing world class training to the selected candidates for representing WorldSkills 2019.

We also need to continuously update our training programmes, curriculum, contents to ensure our trainees are exposed to latest technology and industry environment. We have a great scope and potential to work together for fulfilling the Skill India Mission. For this we need support from all of you. Our dream is to create opportunity for jobs as well as self-employment with dignity and respect for our youth which can provide them higher wages & dignified livelihoods.

I would like to extend my gratitude and thanks to all my stakeholders for their support and trust.

With warm regards, Gurpal Singh

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

FURNITURE & FITTINGS SKILL COUNCIL

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

“Stellar” is the word that defines the performance of FFSC for the F.Y. 2017-18. The

mandated targets set by various Governmental Agencies were achieved flawlessly. The

numbers in the financials reflect the same. The turnover increased by 356% as compared to

the last year. The total turnover for F.Y 2017-18 is more than Rs. 16.30 crores as compared to

Rs. 3.57 crores for F.Y 2016-17. The income over expenditure is Rs. 12,79,793/- for F.Y 2017-

18 as compared to Rs. 13,57,148/- for F.Y. 2016-17, which is within the acceptable parameters.

The Financial Outlook for the F.Y. 2018-19 would be much better as many fresh

projects have been initiated which would bring in much higher volumes as compared to

previous years. The renewed impetus of NSDC would certainly help in achieving the skilling

goals of the Honourable Prime Minister.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Members of M/s Furniture & Fittings Skill Council - Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of M/s Furniture & Fittings Skill Council (‘the Society’), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2018 and the Statement of Income & Expenditure and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Society’s Governing Body is responsible with respect to the preparation and presentation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Society in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Society and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We have taken into account the provisions of applicable laws, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the audit report. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

33

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant to the Society's preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on whether the Society has in place an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and the operating effectiveness of such controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Society's Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.

Opinion

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the financial statements give true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India:

(a) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Society as at March 31, 2018, and
