1. INTRODUCTION

 The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship is an apex organization for the
development and coordination of the vocational training including vocational training for women in our
country. The Ministry conducts the training programmes through the Craftsmen Training Scheme (CTS),
Apprenticeship Training Scheme (ATS), Skill Development Initiative (SDI) Scheme based on Modular
Employable Skills (MES), and Craftsmen Instructor Training Scheme (CITS) to cater to the needs of
different segments of the Labour market. The National Council for Vocational Training (NCVT) acts as a
central agency to advise Government of India in framing the training policy and coordinating vocational
training throughout India.

A majority of Indian workforce does not possess marketable skills which is an obstacle in getting
decent employment and improving their economic condition. A large number of school drop outs do not
have access to skill development for improving their employability. The higher entry requirements and long
duration of courses under the formal training system are some of the obstacles for a person of low
educational attainment to acquire employable skills.

The Ministry is implementing the Skill Development Initiative (SDI) Scheme based on Modular
Employable Skills (MES) to provide vocational training to early school leavers and existing workers
especially in the unorganized sector to develop skilled manpower for the industry. Training is provided by
registered Vocational Training Providers (VTPs) under the Government, Private Sector, and Industrial
establishments located all over the country. Testing of skills acquired informally by an individual are directly
tested on pre-determined parameters through independent Assessing Bodies. Nationally as well as
internationally recognized NCVT certificate is issued to every successful individual.

The key features of the Modular Employable Skills (MES) are:

 Short-term training programmes designed in consultation with the Industry.
 Identification of “minimum skills set” sufficient to get employment.
 Flexible training delivery mechanism (part time, weekend, or full time).
 Different levels of programmes (Foundation level to advanced level).
 Opportunity for lifelong learning.

The training under MES would benefit different target groups like workers seeking certification of
their skills acquired informally, workers seeking skill up gradation, and early school dropouts and
unemployed. Central Government facilitates and promotes the training while registered Vocational Training
Providers (VTP) under the Govt. and Private Sector provide the training. Testing of skills is done by
independent Assessing Bodies to ensure impartiality.

The National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF), published in the Gazette of Government of
India on 27th December, 2013, is a national framework that aims to integrate general and vocational streams
of education and training. The main thrust of the NSQF is to focus on competency-based qualifications.
The National Skill Development Agency (NSDA) under the Ministry is responsible for the implementation
of the Framework, by bringing together the key stakeholders through the National Skill Qualifications
Committee (NSQC).

The competency-based framework organizes qualifications into ten levels, with the entry level being
1, and the highest level being 10. Each level of the NSQF is described by a statement of learning outcomes
in five domains, known as level descriptors. These five domains are (1) Process, (2) Professional knowledge,
(3) Professional skill, (4) Core skill, and (5) Responsibility. The paradigm shift from learning focused on

3
inputs to an outcome/competency-based education would help in the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL),
and simultaneously enable the alignment of the Indian qualifications with international ones. Government
funding is expected to be on a preferential basis for NSQF compliant courses. The NSQF notification
provides a Qualification Register, which is the official national database of all qualifications aligned to
NSQF levels. Through this Register, learners can expect access to all NSQF compliant qualifications.

The Ministry has set up Mentor Councils to focus on courses under NCVT in various sectors with
representation from thought leaders among different stakeholders viz., industries, innovative entrepreneurs
who have proved to be game-changers, academic/professional institutions, and champion ITIs for each of
the sectors. The Mentor Council for each sector reviews curricula, admission criteria, course duration, and
requirement of trainers and assessment/evaluation systems for the sector on a continuous basis and make
recommendations regarding the same. Sector-wise Core Groups are formed to plan and prepare the
documentation for the competency-based curricula for the courses under each sector.
