Tier I, II, III Cities of India

The cities in India are categorised on the basis of a grading structure devised by the Government of India.
This system helps the authorities to allot House Rent Allowance (HRA) to the employees of the public
sector, posted in different cities across the country.

Following the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission of 2008, the cities are categorised
under sections X, Y and Z. The Union Cabinet of India had established the 6th CPC on 5 October 2006
with the objective to edit and hike up the salaries of the public servants, serving the central government.

Formerly, the division was made on the grounds of Compensatory City Allowance (CCA) and HRA.
However, after CPC 2008, the population of the city has been set as the criteria for the segregation. As per
the changes, A-1 has been renamed as X, while A, B-1 & B-2 as Y, and C & uncategorised cities as Z. The
better known term for the categories is Tier-I, Tier-II and Tier-III cities, respectively.

As per media reports, there are about 8 Tier I cities, 26 Tier II cities, 33 Tier III cities and over 5,000 Tier IV
towns, while there are more than 638,000 villages in the country.

challenge

Unemployment is the biggest challenge in India along with non-availability of skilled workers. Though, most of
the time, the problem is not the availability of the job, but the mismatch or lack of skills to carry out a particular
job. Therefore, it is important to develop skilling models, which will not only address the issue of the need for
skilled human resources but will also provide employment to the bottom of the pyramid.

 SKILL TRAINING PROGRAMS
Skill Development and Entrepreneurship development efforts across the country have been highly
fragmented so far. Though India enjoys the demographic advantage of having the youngest workforce with
an average age of 29 years in comparison with the advanced economies, as opposed to the developed
countries, where the percentage of skilled workforce is between 60% and 90% of the total workforce, India
records a low 5% of workforce (20-24 years) with formal employability skills.

With the present education and skill levels of those already in the labour force being very low, it would be a
major challenge for India to reap its demographic advantage.

This challenge becomes enormous as the recent studies indicate that employers found just about 25% of
Indian graduates are ‘employable’ in the organized sector. The informal sector which comprises 93% of the
workforce has no skilling mechanism, as the skill development takes place on the job.

So, there is a need for quick reorganization of the skill development ecosystem and the promotion of which
is necessary to suit to the needs of the industry to ensure enhancement of life of the population. India
would surely rise to be the Human Resource Capital of the world by appropriately skilling its youth bulge
and convert its advantage into a dividend.

Skill development initiatives will help actualize the inert potential, for which development and articulation of
a national policy on skill development is already in progress.

As India moves progressively towards becoming a global knowledge economy, it must meet the rising
aspirations of its youth. This can be partially achieved through focus on advancement of skills that are
relevant to the emerging economic environment. The challenge pertains not only to a huge quantitative
expansion in skill training for the youth, but also to the much more important task of raising their quality.
With a goal to create opportunities, space and scope for the development of the talents of the Indian youth
and to enhance their technical expertise, ICT Academy focuses on Youth Skill Development as one of its
pillars.
