Globally, youth unrest is linked to jobless growth and the

situaon is no dierent in India. Lack of local job opportunies,

poor condion of educaon and limited vocaonal training

nfrastructure reduces the decent living opportunies for the

youth, in turn increasing their vulnerability. To producvely

engage youth from rural areas, Ministry of Rural Development

MoRD), Government of India has launched a special

programme called ROSHNI. Project ROSHNI is targeted to

benet rural men and women belonging to the Parcularly

Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs), especially from the LWE

aected areas.

Mr. Jairam Ramesh, Hon’ble Minister of Rural Development, Government of India

naugurated IL&FS Skills School in Manjhari Block of West Singhbhum district on

uly 19, 2013. West Singhbum is highly impacted by LWE acvies. The minister also

nteracted with the candidates and trainers, expressing his great sasfacon over the

orts being made by IL&FS in training and placements of the underprivileged youth

n the district.

In June 2013, I parcipated at the WorldSkills Internaonal (WS

Compeons at Leipzig, Germany. With the eorts of NSDC and its partne

organisaons, India elded a very strong conngent of 22 competo

at WSI 2013. It was an eye opener to watch young competors from 6

countries taking pride in skills. Congratulaons again to the Organisin

Commiee of WorldSkills India and the three Indian medallion winners a

WorldSkills Compeons 2013.

Many stakeholders play a key role in enhancing value of skill based caree

however it is the Industry that has a mul-faceted role and hence stak

in quality assurance of the skills training methodology, best example beinGermany and its Dual System of Training. Embedding industry as a partn

in the implementaon of skills is therefore a must. McKinsey’s Educao

to Employment report released at Davos last year, idenes disconne

between instuons (academic and vocaonal training) and indust

as a primary reason why majority of students are unemployable an

unproducve at work. In this special issue of SPRING, we focus on Indust

Engagement, where we share best pracces and examples of industry acn

as Infrastructure, Knowledge, Placement and CSR partner.

Making skills accessible is the other key challenge. It is important that eve

cizen of the country has easy access to vocaonal training. To realise th

inclusive growth vision, IL&FS Skills connues to priorise working in th

dicult geographies including LWE aected areas, J&K and North East. Th

launch of Project Roshni by Ministry of Rural Development is therefore welcome move.

We hope you enjoy reading this issue of SPRING and will write back to us t

share similar stories of making skills inclusive and aspiraonal.

Editor’s Note: Sasaram in Bihar is a fast growing urban area in the region and has attracted migrants from the nearby rural areas, who often pick up very low p

obs such as street vendors etc. So that these migrants get an opportunity to decent living, IL&FS Skills established its IL&FS Skill School (ISS) at Sasaram Ro

The ISS was launched by Ms. Meira Kumar in January 2013 to offer skills training to rural Below Poverty Line (BPL) youth in construction sector on pilot mode

I am happy to be vising ISS Sasaram again and interacng with its

students. Organisaons like IL&FS are doing a commendable job in

inking rural BPL youth to skill training. Labourers are the backbone of any

ndustry. No maer what design an architect creates, the nal shape andform is given to it by a skilled worker.

I am delighted to observe that advanced and high-tech machines

are being used for imparng skills training at the IIS. The use of

technology and state-of-the-art labs will provide students exposure

so they can work producvely within the industry. Many more tradesand similar programmes have to be launched to make Madhya

Pradesh a skills hub

L&FS Skills forayed into skill development in response to industry

demand emerging from our large scale cluster development

niaves. Our success in skilling 2.25 lakh people in a short

span of 6 years in dierent geographies and sectors is largely

credited to industry as a key partner in our skill implementaon

value chain.

The key dierenator of our model is engaging employers at

various stages of implementaon to deliver competency based,

ndustry endorsed training. Employers looking for producve

workers support us starng with entry gate assessments for

selecon of right candidates, maintaining a vacancy board to

dening competencies, content and training pedagogy. In doing

so we are able to move the candidates from employability to

employment by ensuring that they are skilled for industry and

get an opportunity to secure a decent job.

n this special feature of SPRING, we explore the various

roles played by industry in working with us to ensure people

especially from the vulnerable groups get an opportunity to be

part of the producve workforce.

Industry as CSR Partner

Every large corporate understands they have got to build bridges with rural India,

among communies their companies operate. The idea is to have the consciousness

to give something back to the community. We are perhaps going to be the rst country

in the world that will have corporate social responsibility in the statute. Companies

who qualify for CSR- have to give 2% of their prots.

Our visit to WSC 2013 started as journey that rst completely overwhelmed us and subsequently gave us a

esounding reality check of what high quality skills training actually means. For the 61 member countries of

WSI, the compeons are celebraons of skills. Each competor is a winner not only because he/she is the

naonal champion but because they pursue skills as a career of choice and not chance.

ome of the key learning from our perspecve for creang a robust, integrated, quality assured skill

raining system in India are as per below:

1. Engaging parents is a crical element for encouraging students to parcipate in vocaonal training

2.

Skills have to be viewed as craf, with a sense of pride being aached to an individual’s ability to

perform a task with perfecon

3. Industry has to play a key role in absorbing people with skills and incenvising skilled workers

4. Simulated learning is the key to imparng high quality skills. Similar to the compeon area at

WorldSkills, where the set up was just like a real work environment, training facilies have to embedd

this as well

5. Acquiring skills is a gradual, long-term process. Germany is perfect example of this where the dual

system allows for students to undertaking vocaonal training as part of mainstream educaon

6. Trainers play an important role in ensuring that learning output is achieved and therefore skills up

gradaon for the trainers is essenal
