New Delhi, Aug 26 (KNN) The Ministry of Textiles is organizing a National Workshop on Integrated Skill Development Scheme (ISDS) at the national capital, on August 27.
The workshop aims to showcase the successes under ISDS, share experiences and obtain feedback from concerned stakeholders on how the scheme can better contribute to a skilled India.
The workshop will be inaugurated by the Union Minister of State for Textiles (I/C), Santosh Kumar Gangwar. The Textiles Minister will also inaugurate an Exhibition at the venue, namely India Habitat Centre. A brochure and a booklet on ISDS shall also be released by the Minister.
Secretary, Textiles, Sanjay Kumar Panda will launch the facility of online certificate generation through the centralized Management Information System (MIS) portal of ISDS.
“This innovative facility provides for easy, fast and seamless generation of certificates, promising to be a boon to both trainees as well as training agencies,” said an official release.
Awards would also be given on the occasion, to best performing implementing agencies and employers under the scheme.
After the inaugural session, a presentation will be given on the journey of ISDS so far which will be followed by sessions on the convergence of ISDS with the ‘Skill India’ initiative; the role of state Governments in catalysing skill initiatives; standardization of courses, assessment and certification, and employment opportunities and challenges under ISDS.
“The workshop thus aims to identify, disseminate, evolve and institutionalize best practices to improve the effectiveness of the scheme in building the skill capital of India’s textile sector,” the release added.
ISDS was introduced by Ministry of Textiles as a pilot in the last two years of the 11th Five Year Plan year 2010-11, in order to address the manpower requirement of the diverse textile and related segments. The scheme has subsequently been scaled up during the 12th plan with a target of skilling 15 lakhs persons by the end of March 2017.
The Government provides a grant subsidy to the extent of 75 per cent of project cost with a ceiling of Rs 10,000 per trainee.
The scheme is being implemented by leveraging existing institutional strength and training experience through three components - Institutions / Textile Research Associations under the Ministry of Textiles; Private industry partners in PPP mode; and State Government Agencies. (KNN Bureau)
