PUNJAB SKILL DEVELOPMENT MISSION

DeenDayalUpadhyayaGrameenKaushalYojana is a flagship skill development scheme of the Department of Rural Development Government of India. 4835 candidates have been trained under the scheme and 1212 candidates have been appointed/ placed. Rural Skill Centres under this programme have been constructed in the premises of Government Senior Secondary schools and are operated by empanelled training partners. These training centres cater to the poor in the rural hinterlands of the state. The target for training under the DDUGKY Scheme is 15000 candidates. The details of the scheme are available at www.ddugky.gov.in

Who can be a TP under the Scheme A 4-stage transparent appraisal process has been designed and an Empowered Committee [EC] has been costitiuted that convenes for project approvals. We review each application independently, with a focus on the readiness of the partner and the best interests of candidates and employers. We look for alignment of values and beliefs, financial and proposed project merits, relevant skilling and placement experiences, team and capacity of the team, transparency and accountability and the readiness to implement the project as key criteria. Based on these, automatic scores are awarded which determine the rating, investment and the extent of investment. The first step in putting together a project lies in identifying which job-roles or courses would you like to offer.We'd like you to identify and administer training for trade-specific skills [you can look-up the NCVT roles/ SSCs] to meet industry demand. Coming from rural India, our youth require some additional inputs to prove themselves and retain jobs. This calls for training in soft skills, functional English and computer education (basic IT skills) in addition to training for domain skills. These are essential ingredients that we believe, will enable our candidates to work and grow in their jobs. Our training partners are also welcome to propose and submit multiple projects with multiple trades or job-roles. Each project, however is identified to a State. Multi state projects are not accepted. However, a training partner can propose multiple projects in multiple states in keeping with their business plans and infrastructure or investment capacity. Together, we want to transform rural poor youth into an economically independent and globally relevant workforce. Together, we are committed to manifesting this transformation and moving people from poverty to productivity and prosperity.
