1 Introduction
The Scheme of Support to Jan Shikshan Sansthan(NGOs) for Skill
Development (previously known as Shramik Vidyapeeth) is being
implemented through NGOs in the country since 1967. The scheme was
renamed as Jan Shikshan Sansthan (JSS) in 2000. The scheme was
transferred from Ministry of Education (erstwhile MHRD) to Ministry of
Skill Development & Entrepreneurship in July, 2018.
At present, 302 JSSs are functional in 26 States and 7 UTs. The
Scheme of Jan Shikshan Sansthan for Skill Development is implemented
with 100% grant from the Government of India. The annual coverage of
the beneficiaries is more than 5 lakh, out of which 85% are women. Jan
Shikshan Sansthans are working at the door step of the beneficiaries
with a minimum infrastructure and resources in rural and slum areas.
1
Management
Jan Shikshan Sansthans are NGOs registered under the Societies
Registration Act, 1860 and set up under the aegis of parent body as per
criteria laid down in the scheme. The Government of India is providing
grants-in-aid to these institutions as per the approved financial pattern.
The affairs of the Jan Shikshan Sansthans are being looked after
by the Board of Management (BoM). The BoM of JSS is the authority in
matters relating to appointment, emoluments, rules of discipline and
other conditions of service of the staff of Jan Shikshan Sansthan.
Responsibility of NGO
JSS has been sanctioned to the NGO to implement the scheme
according to the guidelines of MSDE. The efficiency of a NGO depends
largely on the ability of its staff to achieve the goals. The staff should be
aware about their tasks for better results. JSS should have a system of
fixing the tasks of individual staff and monitor their performance. JSS
is accountable to manage the public grants and ensure imparting of
quality training to its target group. There is also necessity to maintain
the appropriate records, registers and documents for public audit.
2
Need of Uniformity
Directorate of Jan Shikshan Sansthan has been conducted half
yearly and annual review meetings of the Jan Shikshan Sansthans
regularly to review progress of Jan Shikshan Sansthans. It has been
noticed during the review meetings of the Directors of Jan Shikshan
Sansthans that many of the Directors are not aware about tasks of their
staff working under them. At present, there is no system for conducting
orientation programme for JSS Staff. Every JSS has its own system of
allotment of tasks to staff. Due to non-availability of tasks to the staff,
some JSSs are not able to achieve the desired goals.
3
Accordingly, workshops were conducted in the month of June 2021
to prepare suggestive manual for staff members of JSS. Based on their
vast experience of working in JSSs, the selected Directors contributed
in framing the tasks of various positions in JSSs.
