From the Chairman’s Desk

Dear Readers, My warmest greetings to you all. Furniture and Fiitings Skill Council (FFSC) under the aegis of Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) under National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) participated in Global Skills Challenge 2019 which was held in Melbourne, Australia from 10 April 2019 to 15 April 2019. Mr. Vikash Kumar Naga in the trade of Joinery and Mr. Keshar Singh Rajput in the trade of Cabinet Making represented India and showcased their skills. These two candidates from Joinery and Cabinet Making trade will represent India at WorldSkills- Kazan 2019 from 22 August 2019 – 27 August 2019. I am optimistic that the finalists will raise the bar and will bring laurels to country at the WorldSkills this year. Furniture and Fiitings Skill Council (FFSC) is making all its efforts to connect youth to employers. The Rozgar Mela is an opportunity for the job seekers to learn more about potential employers and various employment opportunities aviailable, including entrepreneurship. Apart from organising regular Governing Council Meetings, FFSC has conducted Steering Council Meeting of Industry members. The Steering Council is a small group of members to facilitate the actvities of FFSC. RPL-Best in Class Employers (Type-4) under PKMVY 2016-20 is being envisaged to ensure skills available in the organised sector with best-in-class employers. This will help achieve certification at scale while ensuring quality of certification at lower operational cost. I am glad our industry members have shown interest for the RPL certification of their employees. FFSC has also started orientention of the candidates for the assessment and certification. I am hopeful that efforts of FFSC will help and contribute to the Skill India Mission in a positive way. I hope you will find our this edition useful. Please write to us for your comments, suggestions and success stories. I thank you all once for being a part of our journey. With Regards, Anil Mathur
