Skill development mission in vocational areas:
Mapping government initiatives
Tabassum Jamal & Kasturi Mandal
Globalization has created a great demand for a skilled workforce which is responsive to
emerging market needs and is equipped with knowledge. Although the Indian economy has
experience rapid growth over the recent period, the low level of education and formal training
of the workforce are the matters of concern. In India, informal sector employs nearly 90% of
the workforce, most of which is either non-skilled or inadequately skilled and there is very
little investment or opportunity for formal skilling. To get productive employment,
especially in the informal sector, it is crucial to acquire skill sets with strong labour market
linkages.
This section highlights various government initiatives towards skill development by
reviewing and analyzing the prevailing programmes/schemes under various institutional
arrangements, to promote a meaningful and employable skill development system.
Vocational Education and Training in India
Vocational education and training basically consists of practical courses through which one
gains skills and experience directly linked to a career. Vocational education generally gets
offered at school or to drop-outs, at post-schooling level, and sometime on-the-job.
Vocational training is directly related with specific skills that many employers look for. Thus
Vocational Education and Training (VET) have both been known to increase productivity of
individuals, profitability of employers and aid national development. According to a National
Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) report (No. 517, 61/10/03) two types of vocational
trainings are available in India: a) Formal and; b) Non-formal. According to a NSSO report
vocational training is received by only 10% of persons aged between 15-29 years. Out of this
7/30/2019 Skill Development Mission in Vocational Areas- Mapping Government Initiatives

T1 - 117
only 2% receive formal training, while non-formal training constitutes the remaining 8%. Out
of the formal training received by that particular age group only 3% are employed.
Vocational training in India is being undertaken by the Directorate General of Employment
and Training (DGET), under Ministry of Labor and Employment. The DGET is the apex
organization of development and coordination at national level for all the programmes
relating to vocational training through following schemes:
Craftsman Training Scheme (CTS)-- ITI/ITC Training,
Apprenticeship Training Scheme(ATS),
Craftsmen Instructor Training Scheme,
Advance Vocational Training Scheme,
Women Training Scheme, Research and Staff Training,
Instructional Material Development programme and Hi-Tech Training scheme.
Vocational Training is primarily imparted through public Industrial Training Institutes (ITI)
and privately owned Industrial Training Centres (ITC) from grade 8th
onwards. The present
capacity of both ITIs and ITCs ( region-wise) is shown in Table 1.

NGO centres like Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission
Vocationalisation of Secondary Education
Vocational Education in a much broader sense covers education and skill development at all
levels from post-primary to tertiary education through both formal and non-formal
programmes. Vocational Education at the higher secondary stage develops competencies
required by a specific occupation or a group of occupations, through diversified vocationalcourses. It especially prepares students for self employment. A Centrally Sponsored Scheme
on vocationalisation of secondary education by Ministry of Human Resource Development
provides for diversification of educational opportunities so as to enhance individual
employability, reduce the mismatch between demand and supply of skilled manpower and
serve as an alternative for those pursuing higher education. The scheme provides for financial

assistance to the states to set up administrative structures, conduct area vocational surveys,
preparation of curriculum, text books, work book curriculum guides, training manuals,
teacher training programme, strengthen technical support system for research and
development, training and evaluation etc. Under the Scheme:
Vocational education is provided in 9,619 schools covering about 1 million students.
It is proposed to expand vocational education to 20,000 schools and the intake
capacity to 2.5 million by 2011-12.
About 150 job oriented courses at higher secondary level are being provided in the
areas of Agriculture, Business & Commerce, Engineering and Technology, Home
Science, Health and Paramedical, Social sciences, humanities etc.
To cope up with the proliferation of work in vocational education, Pandit Sunder SharmaCentral Institute of Vocational Education (PSSCIVE) was set up as a constituent unit of
NCERT, to provide intensive technical and academic support to the formal and non-formal
vocational education programmes in the country.
If compared to China, we find that out there vocational education is imparted at various
stages; i.e. junior secondary schools, senior secondary schools, adults specialized secondary
schools; they are run by multiple agencies at various levels. Figure 2 and Table 2 give an idea
of the capacity of vocational education in China, which is much higher compared to India.

Contrarily, we in India do not have such an elaborate arrangement as seen in case of China.
The system in India is centralized with the Ministry of Human Resource Development
(MHRD) and Ministry of Labor and Employment (MoLE) primarily taking care of education
and training respectively, an overview of which is provided in Figure 3. Besides, some other
ministries are also involved in conducting various training programs.

Fig 3. Academic, Technical and Vocational parallel training structure/system in India
There are around 15 more ministries/departments (other than MHRD and MOLE) which
provide and finance vocational education and training programs in India. Their total annual
training capacity is around three million students, with a wide variation between programs
offered by different ministries in term of scope, target groups, curriculum, duration, and
testing and certification but there is no coordination among them. In many cases, a number of
courses are offered in an ad-hoc manner and are need based still more industry participation
and demand driven training programmes are required. Moreover there are certain sectorswhere skill requirement is very high but there is no institutional mechanism involved in
promoting skills in areas such as construction sector, IT enabled services, consumer and retail
sector, financial sector etc. Beside this there is a set of emerging occupations for greener
economies which also require attention.

Skill Deficiency in India
According to the estimates of National Skill Development Policy document, presently, skills
base of the Indian economy is quite low as compared to other developed economies of the
world. The present vocational training capacity is estimated to be around 3.1 million while
12.8 million persons, as per 61st round of National Sample Survey Organization(2004-05),
enter the labor force every year. The unorganized sector in the country constitutes nearly 90%
of the work force. Skills in the unorganized sector are acquired through informal apprentice
system and the prevailing formal training system does not take care of the required skills.
This eventually has led a huge gap in skill demand and supply. A study conducted by
Confederation of Indian Industry and Boston Consulting Group (CII & BCG) estimates that
India is likely to increase deficit of 5.25 million employable graduates and vocationally
trained workforce by 2012. Contrarily, another study by Boston Consulting Group has
estimated that by 2020 the world will have shortage of 47 million working people but India
will have a surplus of 56 million people. However, in order to reap the benefits of
demographic dividend, India will have to equip this manpower to meet the requirement of
skill talent across geographies. In this context the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) has
conducted a study in selected sectors of economy in the following States:-
Punjab Textiles, Auto/Auto Components, Light Engineering, Food Processing, Real
Estateand Construction, Retail and Location based entertainment.
Tamil Nadu Textiles, Construction, Auto/Auto Components, Light Engineering,
IT/ITES, Leather.
Andhra Pradesh Construction, Textiles, Tourism, Healthcare, Engineering,
IT/ITES, Pharma, Biotech, Paper, Minerals.
J&K Handicrafts, Hospitality, Agro-processing, Construction, ITES, Repair
Servicing.
On the basis of this study CII has projected the following requirement of skilled workers at
different levels by 2015:

VET is often considered to be essential for catering to the needs of the industrial sector as evident
from the CII report. Agricultural sector, which has remained weak in terms of human resource
base also remains neglected as far as VET is considered. PSSCIVEhas been the backbone in
terms of providing academic support to VET programmes in this sector. Although 32
competency based curricula for vocational courses in the discipline of agriculture are
available across diverse areas, yet enrolment in such courses falls behind the set targets.
Several modules have also been developed by the institute across a wide range of disciplines
in the agricultural sector covering hundreds of occupations but they fail to be delivered due to
non-availability of ITIs and polytechnics; the apprenticeship scheme is also not taking care of
7/30/2019 Skill Development Mission in Vocational Areas- Mapping Government Initiatives

this sector. VET in agriculture takes place under the aegis of various Departments/ Ministries
who have established the training centres, e.g. Krishi Vigyan Kendras, Khadi and Village
Industry Centres, state institutes of rural development, extension training centres etc. There exist
several associated schemes under which training programmes are conducted. 119 skills/ modules
in six areas, i.e. agriculture, poultry, sericulture, fisheries, animal husbandry and food processing& preservation are available under the Modular Employable Skill (MES) programme of the
Ministry of Labour and Employment which aims to equip people with marketable skills.
However, the non-formal system often suffers from limitations, e.g. problem of standardization,
crisis of recognition etc.
With the new emerging areas of skill development like green food production, hi-tech
floriculture, precision farming, protected cultivation, post harvest management & value addition,
development of vocational & entrepreneurial skills among the farmers and rural youth is
extremely essential. National level interventions like Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY)
and National Food Security Mission (NFSM) aiming at holistic development of agriculture have
been initiated. Such initiatives recognize skills of people employed in farm and non-farm sector
(this sector alone provides employment to 41.89 million rural people and would necessarily
require induction of new skills) in rural areas to be one of the important components to be
addressed. But all such initiatives require synergy with the NSDM (discussed earlier) in effective
implementation of programmes and MGNREGA which could ensure job opportunities for pass
outs.
National Policy on Skill Development
To respond to the existing skill gaps and to identify skill needs, the Eleventh Plan has taken
the initiative to launch a National Skill Development Mission. Under this mission a National
Policy on Skill Development has been formulated by the Ministry of Labor & Employment.
The objective of this policy is to create a workforce empowered with improved skills,
knowledge and internationally recognized qualifications to gain access to decent employment
and ensure Indias competitiveness in the dynamic global labor market. It aims at an increasein the productivity of the workforce both in the organized and the unorganized sectors,
seeking increased participation of youth, women, disabled and other disadvantaged sections
and to synergize efforts of various sectors and reform the present system.
At present the capacity of skill development in India is around 3.1 million persons per year.
The XI Five Year Plan envisions an increase in that capacity to 15 million annually. Thus,
7/30/2019 Skill Development Mission in Vocational Areas- Mapping Government Initiatives
10/16
T1 - 125
there is a need for increasing capacity and capability of skill development programs. Under
the mission several measures have been initiated by the Government at various levels
catering to different sectors of the economy. Following is a brief discussion of these
important initiatives:
A. Institutional arrangement
A three tier institutional structure has been set up to take forward the skill development
agenda.
Fig 4. Institutional structure for skill development
7/30/2019 Skill Development Mission in Vocational Areas- Mapping Government Initiatives
11/16
T1 - 126
NSDC aims to undertake the following functions: a) Identification of skill development needs
including preparing a catalogue of types of skills, range and depth of skills to facilitate
individuals to choose from them; b) Development of a sector skill development plan and
maintain skill inventory; c) Determining skills/competency standards and qualifications; d)
Standardization of affiliation and accreditation process; e) Participation in affiliation,
accreditation, examination and certification; f) Plan and execute Training of Trainers; g)
Promotion of academies of excellence; and h) Establishment of a well structured sector
specific Labor Market Information System (LMIS) to assist planning and delivery of training.
Till date, the NSDC has funded 15 projects, including one targeted at tribal youth in the ultra-
left wing extremist-affected areas of Orissa. The NSDC board has also approved further 14
proposals where funding is to start soon. Combined, these 29 ventures would train over 40
million youth in diverse trades over 10 years.
B. Skill Development Initiative Scheme
The scheme was started in 2007-08 with an objective to train one million persons in short
term modular courses in five years at a cost of Rs. 550 crore and then one million every year
thereafter. Under the scheme, 1158 short term modular courses have already been developed.
These courses cover 49 sectors and range from 60 hours to 960 hours. The entry level for
these training programmes is 5th
grade. Training is being imparted through 6398 Vocational
Training Providers and competencies of trainees assessed by 22 independent assessing
bodies. On the basis of their assessment, National Council for Vocational Training Certificate
is awarded to the trainees, which is recognized nationally and internationally.
This scheme has been developed in close consultancy with industry, state government and
experts in pursuance of excellence in vocational training. Modular Employable Skill (MES)
is the Minimum Skill Set which is sufficient to get an employment in the world of work.
MES allows skill up-gradation/formation, multi entry and exit, vertical and horizontal
mobility and lifelong learning opportunities of prior learning. Considering it essential forearly school leavers and existing workers, especially in the unorganized sector, ministry of
labor and employment has developed this scheme with a new strategic framework.
Till date, under this scheme (which is based on modular employable skills), 6398 Vocational
Training Providers (VTP ) have been registered under the six Regional Directorate(s) of
Apprenticeship Training (RDAT) located in Mumbai, Kolkata, Kanpur, Hyderabad,
7/30/2019 Skill Development Mission in Vocational Areas- Mapping Government Initiatives

Faridabad and Chennai . Already 1,079,968 candidates are training under the scheme and
946,304 have been issued certificates, as per information provided by DGET. Placement for
persons trained under the scheme is reported to be around 466,923.
C. Up-gradation of 2122 Government Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs)
1) It has been decided to modernize/upgrade all 2122 government ITIs. 100 ITIs were
taken up for up-gradation in 2005-06 at a cost of Rs. 160 crore into Centres of
Excellence. 21 new courses in production & manufacturing, hospitality, automobile,
electrical, electronics, construction, information technology, industrial automation,
refrigeration and air conditioning have been introduced in order to meet the
requirement of these sectors. Upgradation of 400 ITIs through World Bank assisted
Vocational Training Improvement Project was undertaken in 2006-07 at a cost of Rs.
1581 crore. Remaining government ITIs are being upgraded at a cost of Rs. 3550
crore. Under the scheme, an interest free loan of Rs. 2.5 crore is granted to each ITI.
In the last three years, 900 ITIs have been taken up which are at different stages of
modernization.
2) A special Prime Ministers Package for North-East and Jammu & Kashmir has also
been given in which 35 existing ITIs in North East have been upgraded and 25 new
ITIs have been set up at a cost of Rs. 113.7 crore. Under the same scheme, one new
women ITI at Jammu has been set up and 37 existing ITIs have been upgraded at a
cost of Rs. 37 crore.
D. Skill Development through Open and Distance Learning (ODL)--IGNOU Initiatives
Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), the national Open University in India has
also undertaken skill development initiatives by establishing the School of Vocational
Education and Training. The School offers demand driven and value addedcourses/programmes, focusing on both formal and informal sectors. IGNOU School of
Engineering and Technology has initiated pioneer effort by launching Vertically Integrated
Engineering Programme known as IGNOU-VIEP to encourage vertical mobility in this field.
Besides engineering, IGNOU offers training programmes, certificate and diploma programmes
7/30/2019 Skill Development Mission in Vocational Areas- Mapping Government Initiatives
13/16
T1 - 128
over the past five years for skill development in the in the field of agriculture, animal husbandry,
food processing etc.
IGNOU has also developed different skill certification programmes for unskilled/semi skilled
workers mainly in two areas namely footwear and construction industry. Under this
certification scheme the workers are trained at industrial sites and competency based trade
certificates are given to workers and supervisors after their necessary training and evaluation
wherein a candidate is judged by his/her performance evidence, supplementary knowledge
and prior achievement evidence.
Key Issues
Different institutes impart vocational training but they do not have coordination
among themselves. There is a significant need to review the activities on skill
development under various institutes/ministries and enhance their coordination.
A network mapping of various stakeholders should be done to bring synergy to the
demand and supply of skilled manpower.
The structure of the job market is changing, therefore the structuring of courses
should be demand driven specially for emerging occupations.
Financing of vocational institutes occurs in an unstructured manner. This should be
based on the performance of institutions to motivate the drive for innovation and
excellence.
Tracer studies should be conducted to provide feedback on the capability and
capacity building of the present VET infrastructure.
