C. Program Status

The Skill India Mission Operation (SIMO) is a Program for Results operation that supports the

Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) in scaling up and enhancing outcomes

from flagship national short-term Skills Development (SD) programs. An associated Investment

Project Financing instrument provides Technical Assistance (TA) to strengthen the newly

established MSDE’s capacity in program management, M&E, and state-level capacity development.

The operation was approved by the World Bank’s Board on June 23, 2017 and was declared

effective on January 19, 2018.

The World Bank team along with Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE)

completed the Second Implementation Support and Restructuring Mission on August 31, 2018 and

the operation rating was downgraded to Moderately Unsatisfactory for progress towards

achievement of Program Development Objectives and Implementation Progress. Substantial changes

in the regulatory environment since effectiveness and slow progress on core implementation actions

such as hiring an Independent Verification Agency (IVA) has resulted in the project not meeting

agreed DLI Year 1 targets and no disbursements taking place almost a year after project

effectiveness. Five out of six DLIs and verification protocols cannot be met as they are currently

formulated, due to two fundamental changes in the regulatory and institutional environment in the

past year: (i) a change in the role of the National Skills Development Agency (NSDA), which was

earlier the nodal regulatory authority for skills training and has now been merged with an existing

regulator body for vocational training and renamed the National Council for Vocational Education

and Training (NCVET); and (ii) the proposed apex Labor Market Information System (LMIS) to be

anchored by NSDA has been replaced by a Skills India Portal to be implemented by MSDE. The

DLIs and verification protocols need to be amended to reflect these regulatory changes. In addition,

based on the new Country Partnership Framework (CPF; FY 2018-22), there is a renewed focus on

enhancing India’s federalism with enhanced state capabilities. Further to the CPF priorities and

continuing discussions after effectiveness, there is the need to strengthen the role of the states in

responding to skilling needs at the decentralized levels; and more specific interventions on inclusion

of marginalized groups, particularly women, are needed to achieve the operation’s objectives in this

regard.

MSDE has made significant progress in a number of core implementation areas since the previous

implementation mission. A Program Management Unit (PMU) is now in place; procurement of an

Independent Verification Agency (IVA) is at an advanced stage; a Technical Agency has been hired

to undertake State Incentive Grant (SIG) baseline scoring process; an apex management information

system (MIS)IS system for skills training, the Skill India Portal, is under development; and a Global

Skills Gap study to inform migration-related skilling interventions has been completed.

The objective of the Operation is to enhance institutional mechanisms for skill development and

increase access to quality and market-relevant training for the workforce.

Proposed New PDO

N/A

Change in Program Scope

There is no change in the overall scope of the program. While the project will continue to support

implementation of the Government’s SD strategy, as outlined in the National Policy for Skill

Development and Entrepreneurship, over six years (2017–2023), the regulatory framework has been

re-designated by the MSDE post an approval by the Union Cabinet of Ministers. The operation will

continue to focus on enhancing institutional mechanisms at the national and state levels, including

partnerships with industry and employers, to increase the market relevance of short-term SD

programs and scale up their delivery. Hence, there is no change to the PDO.

Change in Results Framework

The Results Framework is also updated in line with the changes being made to DLIs. The changes

made to the indicators are described in Annex 1.

.

Change in Legal Covenants (to check with MSDE)

The Program Appraisal Document mentioned the provision of advance as a legal covenant. While

this provision of advance will continue to be available for Government of India, this is not a legal

covenant as such and hence is being removed from the list of legal covenants.

matrix. The revised allocation for the DLIs is as follows:

Original

Revised

(US$m)

Original DLI 1: Trainees who have successfully completed the

Changes in DLI Verification Protocol

Please see Annex 3for rationale of changes in the DLIs and verification protocol and Annex 4 for

revised DLI matrix and verification protocol table.

Change in Key Parameters (Disbursement Arrangements, Institutional Arrangements,

Technical, Fiduciary, Environmental and Social)

The changes to the disbursement arrangements pertain to the revised DLI allocations, changes made

to the verification protocol and the simplification of disbursement formula.

The changes in the institutional arrangements pertain to the changed regulatory environment and

resulting change in institutional structure. The NSDA has now been merged with NCVT and the

roles and responsibilities of newly merged entity (NCVET) will continue to evolve in the coming

months/ year, hence MSDE is now reflected as the responsible entity for the DLIs. There are no

changes in fiduciary and environmental parameters. On social parameters, the DLI relating to

enhanced inclusion of women and marginalized groups in SD programs has been amended and

strengthened to focus on women participation. The DLRs in this regard have also been amended to

emphasize systemic capacity building for inclusion of women through development and

implementation of a strategic plan for enhancing participation of women; and tracer studies to

accurately track such participation. Participation of marginalized groups – particularly Scheduled

Castes and Scheduled Tribe populations – continue to be a major focus of the program. Participating

states are incentivized to enhance participation of marginalized groups with one-third of the State

Incentive Grant (SIG) scoring mechanism being predicated on actions that improve inclusion (See

Annex 5).

Change in Program Action Plan

Annex 6 lists the changes made in the Program Action Plan. The changes relate to the changed

regulatory environment and resulting change in institutional structure.

PDO 1 – Revised: Trainees who have successfully completed the market-relevant short-term SD programs and were certified

(disaggregated by women and disadvantaged sections)

Reference to NSQF is removed from the

wording. NSQF was developed by NSDA

and has been approved by MSDE but the

courses are still being aligned to it. With the

regulatory changes in MSDE, NSDA has

now been merged with National Council for

Vocational Training (NCVT).

Description: The reference to institutions/ systems linked to NSDA –

National Skill Certification Board (NSCB), National Skills Qualification

Committee (NSQC), LMIS is being dropped due to the merger of NSDA

with NCVT and to provide the required flexibility for ongoing/ evolving

changes in the institutions/ systems at MSDE. These institutions/

the Program.

Source, methodology for data collection and responsibility for data

collection: These have been updated with the institutional roles to

provide the necessary flexibility for ongoing/ evolving changes in the

institutions/ systems at MSDE.

Market-relevant upgraded SD programs are short-

term SD programs that result in a certification by an

SSC or other agencies notified by MSDE. SD

programs definition is as notified by MSDE.

Disadvantaged groups imply persons from

demographic groups who face the risk of social

exclusion from accessing high-quality SD programs.

These are defined as SCs, STs, and PWD.

The disaggregated percentage measures the
