1.2 KACHCHH District Details KACHCHH is the largest district of India situated at the western end of Gujarat. As per census 2011,

it had a total population of 20.9 lacs covering an area of 45,674 sq. kms. Kachchh has 924 villages

and 14 towns across ten talukas namely Bhuj, Mandvi, Mundra, Abdasa, Bhachau, Lakhpat, Anjar,

Rapar, Nakhatrana and Gandhidham. Bhuj is the district headquarter.

Blessed with Diverse geographical terrains, it is among

the few districts in the world consisting of desert, sea and

mountains together. Located in the arid zone of Gujarat with

extreme weather conditions, it is an unfavorable region for

agriculture and dense human settlements. Therefore, it has

the lowest population density of 46 persons per sq. km.

Kachchh hosts the longest coastline in the state (406 kms)

and surrounded by Pakistan on the north, Rajasthan on the

north – east, Banaskantha and Patan districts on the east and

Gulf of Kachchh and Arabian Sea on the south.

The famous ‘Rann of Kachchh’ is a vast salt desert covering

three – fourth of the total area of the district.

Reviving from one of the massive earthquakes in 2001,

Kachchh has attracted huge industrial investments in textile, woods & wood products, chemical,

engineering, ports, logistics and retail sectors because of conducive policies of the government.

The economy of Kachchh largely impacted by the two ports – Kandla and Mundra extensively.

B. Supply side Profile 1.1 Demographic Profile of KACHCHH District

Demographic Profile KACHCHH has re-emerged from the ruins of one of the most disastrous earthquakes in the history that took place in January 2001 and today has become a major industrial hub. It contributes to significant share of salt production in the country. With large reserves of limestone, bauxite, lignite and bentonite, KACHCHH district is one of the preferred destinations for most of the mineral-based industries. It boasts of being the world’s largest manufacturer of Submerged Arc Welded (SAW) pipes. A sizeable number of small-scale industries supports a good number of medium /large-scale industries. Due to presence of two important ports, Kandla and Mundra, KACHCHH district accounts for a very high cargo movement. Analysis of regional distribution of investments in KACHCHH district indicates that industrial development is concentrated in Anjar, Gandhidham, Mundra, Bhachau and Lakhpat Talukas while other regions like Mandvi and Nakhtaranastill remain backward. Over the recent years, the State Government has initiated some measures to enhance the industrial growth in backward talukas of Mandvai and Abdasa through suitable incentives leading to an increased investment potential of these regions over the next decade. District Industry Centre is functioning to develop the small and village industries, handloom industries and the scope of industrial growth in the district. Besides, other departments are working for the rights of the industrial workers and rural labourers engaged in agriculture and others sectors. The land utilization pattern during the year 2014-15 of Kutch district is as under:

The primary sectors considered as Port and Maritime sector and other sectors closely linked to port led activities such as fisheries, logistics and tourism. Industries like Mundra port & SPL. Eco.

1.2 Economic Profile

Large Scale Investment Scenario in KACHCHH District

Industrial Development Trajectory of KACHCHH During the era of Liberalization, Gujarat has proven itself the second most favored destination for industrial investments after Maharashtra. However, even after being one of the most industrialized states, it did not have much impact on KACHCHH because of its physiology. There were only 26 large and medium industries in KACHCHH until year 2000, with a small 1.57 percent contribution to the state’s industrial production. But the industrial development scenario changed in 2001 post the massive earthquake.

• The Government of India and the State Government of Gujarat had provided incentives with relaxations in excise duty and sales tax to promote rapid industrialization in Kachchh.

• Incentives given by Governments have facilitated a boom in attracting a number of industries and investments in the region, which was unprecedented. Kachchh received an investment of INR 78.94 billion according to Industrial Extension Bureau.

• Post the termination of tax holiday, corporate giants and small enterprises have continued to invest in the district, not only to expand their operations but also in Greenfield projects.

Major Industries in KACHCHH district Since last two decades, KACHCHH has become an important industrial hub with the manufacturing and service sectors seeing a boom due to conducive policies of the government after the catastrophic earthquake. It provides employment to 58.6 percent of the working population.

Only KACHCHH contributes more than 60% of the total salt production in India. With large reserves of limestones, bauxites, lignite and bentonite, Kachchh is one of the preferred destinations for most of the mineral based industries. It asserts of being the world’s largest manufacturers of Submerged Arc Welded (SAW) pipes. Anjar has emerged as a global pipeline hub, with five big companies namely Welspun, Jindal Saw, PSL, Man Industries and Ratnamani. KACHCHH also has the largest timber industry in India with around 2,200 players operating in the district. Due to presence of the two ports, Kandla and Mundra, the district accounts for extremely high cargo movements. Renewable energy production (wind energy and solar energy) is another major industry sector in Kachchh because of ample amount of barren land availability and conducive government policies. Adani, one of the biggest industry players in India, had set up India’s largest solar cells and modules manufacturing plant in KACHCHH. The district is also famous for its Kachchhi handicrafts.

One of the major service sectors that is growing in the district today is the tourism and hospitality sector. KACHCHH consists of vast salt deserts, coastal area, hills as well as plains making it a beautiful destination for tourism. Festivals such as the “Rann Utsav” brings people together from far and near, helps the local population in trade and commerce as well as generates good income.

Other Economic Activities Even after being, an arid land not quite suitable for cultivation, Kachchh, still provides employment to 36 percent of the working population in agriculture. Kachchh is well known for its oilseeds, wheat, bajra and pulses production. Additionally, the district accounts for the highest production of date palms in Gujarat (1.7 lakhs MT in 2015-16). The renowned Ashapura Farms is located in the district, which specializes in production of Kesar Mangoes that are widely distributed across the country and abroad.

Industrial Road MAP KACHCHH of District

Owning to the soil characteristics, only a very small percentage of district geographical land is cultivable (23 percent of total area) with intra district variations. Talukas like Bhachau, Mandvi, Anjar and Gandhidham talukas have about 35 percent of their geographical area under cultivation while Lakhpat taluka has only 3.9 percent land under cultivation. KACHCHH lies in North West agro climatic zone and has low rainfall conditions. Being a low rainfall-witnessing region, the district has limited spread of irrigation facilities with only 40 percent of net cultivable area under irrigation. The lack of rainfall and irrigation facilities has resulted in poor agriculture in the district. Poor nitrogen content in KACHCHH soils has resulted in large-scale usage of nitrogen rich fertilizers. Awareness levels on organic farming and vermin-compost methods are low in the region indicating immediate need to improve the same by promoting holistic sustainable agricultural practices. Bajra, Greengram, Groundnut, Cotton and Castor are the key Kharif crops while Wheat, Mustard, Isabgul are the main Rabi crops grown in the district. The ratio of area under Rabi to Kharif crop is 0.2 indicating lack of multiple cropping majorly due to poor irrigation and lack of rainfall. Main horticulture crops include Fruits (Datepalm, Mango), Spices (Isabgul, Cumin, and Coriander) and vegetables (Tomato, Cucurbits and Brinjal). Currently usage of hybrid crop varieties is low with a need to promote this practice across crop categories. There is a need for Taluka Seed Farms in the district to improve the availability of quality seeds.

Sheep and goats are main cattle varieties in KACHCHH with 4,95,253 sheep population and 4,59,442 goats. Other prominent domestic animals under animal husbandry activities are cows and buffaloes. The high number of sheep and goats indicate potential for wool and meat yielding animal husbandry.

WEAKNESS

OPPORTUNITY

CHALLENGES

SWOT Analysis of Industrial Sector in KACHCHH

STRENGTH

Industrialization will lead to immigration of people in the Kachchh.

Kachchh has emerged as a hub for chemicals, minerals, textiles, engineering, oil & gas and port based industries.

Kachchh is an ideal gateway to Asian, African and American markets as Mundra port offers shortest land route from any port to the vast hinterland of western and northern India.

Absence of institutions that can produce skilled manpower to work in industries.

MSMEs in the district are lagging behind in the point of view of dimensional and motivational strategy.

There is a huge scope of further development of the ancillary units like spares and parts useful in various types of industries in huge quantity so ancillary engineering and packing industries can be developed in the district.

There is wide scope of development of setting up of small-scale industries by new entrepreneurs in the district and ultimately they will achieve good market for their products in the small-scale sector.

Large potential of domestic and international markets of handicrafts.

High spending by government will help boost export in the sector. Increase in flow of tourists will also provide market for handicrafts.

Poor water conservation may pose a problem for the future industrial set up.

Industrialization of the district may affect ecology and environment of the district.

Low level of technological development can cause a major challenge unless it is changed or modernized.

Social Infrastructure Facilities:

1. Industrialization/Entrepreneurship: Industrialization process of KACHCHH district is steel remained low. Government functionaries have implemented various Policies and Incentive Schemes to fasten the industrial growth. There are good number of small scale and medium scale units registered in the district. Moreover, the State Government establishes two Special Economic Zone in Kandla and Mundra. In which some highly reputed companies like Ms. P.S.L. Holdings Ltd., Indian Pharma & Fertilizers Co. OP. Ltd., Sanghi Industries, Hindustan Lever Ltd., Miltons Ltd, Lakme Ltd. and Parle Products are working there. Concept of productivity among the local labour force is significant aspect for establishing micro and small level enterprises in the district. However, the concept of avoiding risk factor for the Governmental regulations and process causes adverse effect and resulted in weakened industrial growth. Industrial Training Institutes, Productivity Development Centers, Small Scale Enterprises Development Institute Ahmedabad, District Industrial Center- Bhuj and other Non-Governmental organizations must come forward to promote more and more training programmes to increase and motivate the productivity of the labour force available in the district.

2. Marketing Potential: Marketing is the crux of all development programmes. In order to ensure that the benefits of various development accrue to the producers, it is essential to ensure adequate marketing infrastructure so that farmers get remunerative prices for their produce. The growing importance for development of Horticulture and Agro-processing activities necessitates the establishment of cold storage facilities. Kutch district with varied agricultural and horticulture produce, central locational ad-vantage and nearness to Kandla and Adani Ports can provide storage and marketing facility for optimizing returns to the farmers as well as to the entrepreneurs. There are eight Market Yards in Kutch district for the distribution of the agricul-tural produces. Farmers can accrue more competitive prices for their produce in these market yards by selling their produces. There is good infrastructure in the district for the sale of industrial goods and services manufactured and produced. There is still further scope of developing the marketing infrastructure in the other tehsils as well as district headquarters. There are number of organized and unorganized marketing arrangements established in the district. More over for export, the goods and services in the international market four highly sophisticated and developed ports are established in the district. Kandla is the important third major port of the whole country to export the various goods and services.

Source: Skill Gap Report – KACHCHH, Gujarat Skill Development Mission, Govt. of Gujarat

Training Capacity in KACHCHH: Annual training capacity of government and private skill centers is of 36, 225 persons in Kachchh. A total of 1.8 lacs people can be trained in next five years (2017-2022). ITIs have maximum training capacity of 11,899 persons. Industries and Private training institutes also contribute significantly to the district skill ecosystem. Adani Skill Development Centre, Tata Skill Development Centre, National Institute of Computer Training, Gujarat Institute of Hotel Management are some of the prominent partners. Key reasons for skill mismatch among the fresh graduates are –

Unavailability of courses to meet the skill demand of local industries Conventional training methodology with more emphasis on classroom teaching. Obsolete training curriculum. Unclear basic technical knowledge within the fresh graduates. Outdated machineries in the institutes.

1.2.2. Up gradation of course curriculum and NSQF alignment The National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF) is a competency-based framework that organizes all qualifications according to a series of levels of knowledge, skills and aptitude. These levels, graded from one to ten, defined in terms of learning outcomes, which the learner must possess regardless of whether they obtained through formal, non-formal or informal learning. NSQF in India was notified on 27th December 2013. All other frame works, including the NVEQF (National Vocational Educational Qualification Framework) released by the Ministry of HRD, stand superseded by the NSQF.

Mobility between vocational and general education by alignment of degrees with

NSQF

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), allowing transition from non-formal to

organised job market

Standardized, consistent, nationally acceptable outcomes of training across the

country through a national quality assurance framework

Global mobility of skilled workforce from India, through international equivalence

In general, the Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs), Polytechnics and Diploma Colleges run long term courses which extend to 12 months or more while training programs under various government programs (ISDS, PMKVY, KVK etc.,) are of short-term in nature. National Council for Vocational Training (NCVT) and Gujarat Council for Vocational Training (GCVT) is the assessment and certification body for training programs running in ITIs, KVKs, and i-KVKs. Polytechnic and Diploma colleges provide AICTE certification. Private training institutes may offer both, institute certification and government recognized certifications including Course on Computer Concepts (CCC) certificates

1.2.5. Improving Women Participation In order to improve the female participation in training following steps been suggested:

Counselling of parents along with the female trainees during admission

Provision of transportation facilities for the female trainees to and from the institutes

Provision of flexible timings of training for female candidates

Mobilization of female candidates by visit to rural areas, villages and towns. Mobile training centers, which run for 3 – 6 hours a day, should be introduced.

Partnership of training institutes with organizations such as Kachchh Mahila Vikas Sangathan, which trains women and helps them find employment.

Beyond training, wage and self – employment models for Kachchhi women suggested: Kachchhi handicrafts and bandhni works employ women across Kachchh. The training institutes can introduce short term Kachchhi embroidery or bandhni work courses. These can be run in collaboration with organizations namely Kachchh Mahila Vikas Sangathan, Shrujan and Khamir which specialize in working with craftswomen. The finished embroidered product will then be sold and the women will be paid by these organizations Employment offices in Kachchh can support rural women to start their own ventures in tourism. Women in and around Rann of Kachchh area can make their mark as entrepreneurs by leveraging their proximity to the Rann and opening their homes in partnership with Airbnb to host tourists. Airbnb can train the women on home sharing, because of which such a model can be design.

Wage Employment Model KACHCHHI handicrafts and bandhni works employ women across Kachchh. The training Institutes can introduce short term Kachchhi embroidery or bandhni work courses as extension to already existing courses like sewing technology. These can be run in collaboration with

organizations namely Kachchh Mahila

Vikas Sangathan, Shrujan and Khamir,

which specialize in working with

craftswomen. The finished

embroidered product can be sold and

the women shall be paid by these

organizations.

Self - Employment Model: Employment offices in Kachchh can also support rural women to start their own ventures in tourism. The women in and around Rann of Kachchh area can make their mark as entrepreneurs by leveraging their proximity to the Rann and opening their homes in partnership with Airbnb to host tourists. Airbnb shall train the women on home sharing while vocational training institutes can facilitate and monitor the training aspect of the model.

1.2.6. Career Counselling

Effective Career Counselling Services is a Brainstorm for the future youth:

It recommended that effective career counselling services through professional career counsellors shall be provide to the youth and their parents. Training institutes shall establish dedicated career counselling centers in their campuses so that the youth counselled before admission and before placements. This shall give them a clarity of choice of trades and jobs respectively. In addition, community career counselling centers in districts with high penetration of industries shall be set up so that students guided towards employment, creation of learning pathways for upskilling and handholding support for entrepreneurs.

1.4 Monitoring & Evaluation

1.4.1. Establishing District Level M & E Team

Monitoring & Evaluation can be measure on Kaizen Theory, which is the tool to continuous monitor, the Economy functioning at District level as the tool meant to have continuous Improvement. Monitoring is a process to assess the advancement and constraints of work process. It should be conduct in a regular manner with standardization. The information obtained from the monitoring is provided to the decision-making of process amendment and/or adjustment of the resource input for the smooth implementation of the work / Course development & performance of individual on District level, too. Evaluation is, generally, an activity to review the entire process of the Course / Work for extracting lessons learnt both on positive and negative outcomes. The outcomes are thereafter analyze to formulate better plan of action in the forthcoming phase.

In the context of course development & management, in general, quarterly review of the Students’ teaching / practical learning targets (Demo making), such as productivity of lesion learning, quality of service, cost control, delivery of services, safety issues, better use of e-learnings and morale of the workforce, is considered as the evaluation activities.

Shewhart's straight-line process

Step One > Step Two > Step Three Getting Specific Demand on Development of Short- Online Examination Industry Requirement Term Course (PMKVY 2.0) / Center Inspection

The Deming Wheel is a 4-step, cyclical process. There should be a constant cycle through Course design, Quality Learning / Students’ Production, Placement to Industry Specific, and research to produce quality workforce.

1.4.2. Development of Management information system (MIS)

Management information systems (MIS) provides company data. Data can be seen and presented for future update needed to Industry and Government to have access on the functioning. MIS identifies strategic personnel and operational and financial accomplishments and shortfalls, monitors progress toward goals and assesses changes that may be needed. An effective management information system gathers, organizes, analyzes, evaluates, and communicates useful data in a timely manner to the people who require it. Information is the cornerstone of effective management, but data for management use must be carefully selected and appropriately presented to be effective.

We should require to be developed “A Small Skill Registry System” for district wise, to cover all skill development activities and govt. schemes available in Kachchh within one touch only. All the stackholders are required to fill their details/ update the same as on day-to-day activity on that portal. Therefore, End user can have ease of best facility to get the details regarding Skill Courses, Name & detailed description of the various courses with their details address of the Centers situated in various cities & Talukas’ of Kachchh. Based on that, Skill development team / Skill Evaluation Officer can have comfort system to get the figures of Centers & Students - to manage and monitor all updated activities under different Govt. Scheme running during the session. Our main motto is “to provide a common platform to get the various details regarding Govt. Schemes & Skilling Activities Centers Details should be glanced at one stage, which is beneficial for common / all users.”

1.4.3. Periodic Market Assessment & Skill Gap Study

Periodic market assessment and Skill Gap based on Monitoring & Evaluation and MIS as a tool for the Industry and for Government to have complete view on the performance. Skill Gap can make a view on requirement needed for the industries and Employment for the district to strengthen the necessity updating in courses and Skilling. (Labor, Education, Employment & Growth for Industry) District level variations in Demand-Supply gap indicate the need for geography specific initiatives to address the skilling issues. Category wise Demand-Supply gap estimations for the KACHCHH District presented in the table below:

Amongst the service sub-sectors, the tourism sector has been major driver of Kutch’s economy. It is emerging strongly with the experiences of palaces, wildlife, fairs and festivals. The district accounted for 2.39 % of total tourist inflow in Gujarat during 2006-07. The key tourist attractions include Aina Mahal (Old Palace), Prag Mahal (New Palace), Indus Valley Civilization site, Swaminarayan Temple, Lakhpat, Wildlife Sanctuary, Chinkara Sanctuary and Mandvi Beach.Apart from the above, there are several festivals like the Kutch Desert Festival and the Navratri Fair.
