Technological changes, changes in financial markets, the emergence of global markets for products and services, international competition are among the more significant developments that are transforming the world of work. Skill building and training, a central pillar of decent work, is a means to empower people, improve the quality and organization of work, enhance citizens’ productivity, raise workers’ incomes, promote job security and social equity and help individuals become more employable in rapidly changing internal and external labor markets. Under the Constitution of India, Vocational training is a concurrent subject of both Central and State Governments. The development of training schemes at National level, evolution of policy, laying of training standards, norms, conducting of examinations, certification, etc. are the responsibilities of the Central Government, whereas the implementation of the training schemes largely rests with the State Govts/UT Administrators. National Council for Vocational Training The Council functions as a central agency to advise the Government of india in framing the training policy and coordinating vocational training throughout India. It is an Apex Tripartite Body under the Chairmanship of Union Minister of Labour and Employment. The Council consists of representatives of Central Ministries, State Directors, Employers’ Organizations, Workers’ Organizations, Professional Learned Bodies, Experts and representatives of SC/ST. The secretarial support to NCVT is provided by DGET. Similar Councils named as State Council for Vocational Training (SCVT) are constituted to advise respective State Governments on issues related to skill development. {2} aManagement Manual for Industrial Training Institutes FUNCTIONS of NCVT 1 zo ON @ 1 12. 13.

State Council for Vocational Training (SCVT) All State Governments are required to constitute State Council for Vocational Training (SCVT) to look after the activities of vocational training of respective states. It was opined (in 39" meeting of NCVT held on 12" January 2011) that SCVTs as registered societies will have the advantage in their functioning and decision making since registered society will have minimum activities (regular meetings and discussions, audit etc.) which would be assured every year. These societies would also be required to maintain separate Website and Bank Account which should be audited regularly.Introduction After elaborate discussion the Council approved the above proposal. Government of India has accepted the above recommendation of Council for implementation with immediate effect. Accordingly State Governments are requested to ensure that SCVTs are registered as societies in respective States, with separate Websites and Bank Account which should be audited regularly. (Reference: DGET-19(13)/2011 — CD dated 28" March 2011) Objectives of Craftsmen Training Scheme The two-fold objectives of the Craftsmen Training Scheme are: to provide Semi-skilled/skilled workers to industry by systematic training to school leavers. to reduce unemployment among educated youth by equipping them with suitable skills for industrial employment. Salient Features of Craftsmen Training Scheme Candidates of age 14 years and above are eligible to seek admission in ITIs / ITCs. Admissions in ITis / ITCs is done twice a year i.e. in August and February. Tuition fee in the ITIs is decided by the respective State Governments as deemed fit based on the recommendation of the concemed State Council for Vocational Training.

Guidelines for reserving 3% seats for persons with disability and 30% for women candidates have been issued to the State Governments and these could be filled based on the general reservation policy of each State / UT and total reservation is limited to 50%. Seats are also reserved for wards of defence personnel. Seats for OBC candidates have also been reserved in proportion to the seats reserved for them in Government Services in the respective States. For optimum utilization of infrastructural facilities available, there is a provision ‘of second and third shifts in ITIs / ITCs with segregated timing. They are also encouraged to introduce second shift by appointing one additional trade instructor and additional training kits for trainees. A placement cell in every ITI / ITC is set up to facilitate the graduates in getting placed in different industries. Institute Management Committees (IMCs) have been formed for ITis in consultation with apex Industry bodies to improve cooperation between industry and Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs). ITls are functioning under the administrative control of the respective State Govis /UTs / Private Organizations.

Therefore, to facilitate matching demand and supply, it was proposed (in 39" meeting of NCVT held on 12" January 2011) that skill mapping be carried out by respective State starting from district level and only those trades are promoted for introduction of training programme in Government and Private ITIs, which have high demand. After discussion the Council approved the above proposal. Government of India has accepted the above recommendation of the Council for implementation with immediate effect. Accordingly State Governments are requested to initiate skill mapping of their respective States, starting from district level and recommendation of survey report should form basis while selecting new trades for introduction of training programme in Government and Private ITIs. A copy of the survey report may also be forwarded to DGET (HQ). (Reference: DGET — 19(14)/2011-CD dated 20" April 2011) A 2003 study of the ITls conducted under the auspices of the International Labour Organisation found that a significant imbalance had developed between the needs of the Indian economy and the training activities of the ITIs, which were producing too many graduates for skills affected by industrial decline, and too few in the emerging and informal areas of the economy.

Geneva: In Focus Programme on Skills, Knowledge, and Employability (IFP/SKILLS), ILO.) Guidelines for Setting up of “Institute for Training of Trainers” and Conducting the Training Programme in such Institutes NCVT during its 38" meeting had approved setting up of the Instructor Training Institutes by State / UT Governments, companies like sole proprietary, private / public limited registered under Companies Act, Societies and Trusts registered as per Act, and promoters of SEZs. In order to maintain quality and standards of instructor training in all such institutes, it was decided that such institutes should be affiliated to NCVT so that the trainees after completion of training are trade tested and successful trainees could be awarded Craft Instructors Certificates under the aegis of NCVT. Accordingly, complete guidelines for setting up of Institute for Training of Trainers (ITOT) under “Craft Instructor Training Scheme” including norms / standards for infrastructure, building (workshop, classroom), electricity, machinery, equipment, tools and implements, human resource (including level of Principal, Trainers), composition of Standing Committee for carrying out inspection were approved by the NCVT during the 39" meeting (held on 12" January 2011). Also admission guidelines including eligibility, reservation, suitability of trade for persons with special abilities, trade testing procedure, distribution of marks, and format for mark sheet were also approved by the NCVT for implementation. It has also been decided that such institutes be named as Institute for Training of trainers (ITOT). ooo 1s }—Management Manual for Industrial Training Institutes Government of India has accepted the name “Institute for Training of Trainers (ITOT)” and guidelines for setting up of such institutes. These are to be implemented with immediate effect. Henceforth, any agency whether Government or Private desirous of setting up of Institute for Training of Trainers (ITOT) is requested to follow these guidelines while setting up such institute and conducting courses under Craft Instructor Training Scheme (CITS) in these institutes. These guidelines are also avallable at DGET's website www. dget.nic.in. DGET would extend help and guidance to the organizations including State Governments desirous of setting up of “Institute for Training of Trainers (ITOT)". In case necessity arises mentors will be provided to render assistance for setting up of ‘such institutes. (Reference: DGET — 19(10)/2011-CD dated 26" April 2011) Governments, Central / State should Develop Training Infrastructure in Trades Involving High Expenditure Council (in its 39" meeting held on 12" January 2011) approved the proposal that while opening new ITis /trade / units, State Governments snould give priority to trades having demand but requiring large investment. The Council also recommended that trades having demand but requiring large investment should be clearly identified to avoid any ambiguity. Government of India accepted the above recommendation of the Council for implementation with immediate effect. (Reference: DGET — 19(6)/2011-CD dated 2” May 2011) Permission for Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) or Similar Arrangements for Setting Up ITis as per NCVT Norms in High Investment and Technically Diverse Sectors At present Tis have not been set up to meet the skilled manpower demand of the sectors which are technically diverse and require high investment viz Aviation, Petroleum and Natural Gas, Metallurgy, Power etc. These sectors are now expanding and there is growing demand of trained manpower in these sectors. The skill training requirements of the sectors are capital intensive which inhibits an organization to create training facilities at one place, for example, H.T. substation, long distance pipelines etc. As training needs in these sectors are diversified, therefore, it may take place at different locations as per work requirement. Creating infrastructure for imparting training of these sectors would demand huge investment and sometime it is, even not possible to create such infrastructure at institute to address this issue. Active help of industries of these sectors having adequate infrastructure and sufficient technical expertise could be utilized for imparting training by creating special purpose vehicles or similar arrangements. It was, therefore, proposed that special purpose vehicles or similar arrangement may be permitted to set up ITIs in such sectors. After discussion the Council approved the above proposals. — — l—————Affiliation of Industrial Training Institutes Government of India has accepted the above recommendation of Council for implementation with immediate effect (Reference: DGET — 19(8)/2011-CD dated 24" May 2011) ion of Format for Annexure-lll for Preliminary Inspection / ig Committee Inspection Report for the Purpose of Grant of Affiliation from NCVT Annexure — III format has been revised.
