Information for enrolment of a Training Partner in the scheme

Scheme for ‘Skill Development in ESDM for Digital India’ is implemented by the Government of India through NIELIT-PMU (National Institute of Electronics & Information Technology-PMU). NIELIT-PMU is implementing the scheme through its three Key Implementing Agencies (KIA) viz. NIELIT / ESSCI / TSSC. KIAs in turn select the Training Partners (both government as well as private including ITIs, Polytechnics, other similar state level institutions, etc) by duly identifying / recognizing / accrediting.

NIELIT / ESSCI / TSSC have identified several trades in their respective areas. A Training Partner can enrol itself by identifying the trades depending on their capability and enrol with the corresponding KIAs. 

The scheme is proposed to target the following beneficiaries:

a) Students studying at

• IX/X standards onwards
• ITIs
• Polytechnics
• Under Graduate (Non-Engineering)

b) Unemployed youth (indicative list)

• School dropouts from 8th Pass onwards
• ITI Certificate Holders
• Diploma holders
• Graduates(non-engineering)
• Registrants in Employment Exchanges
• Unemployed resources in the Non-formal Sector

In order to facilitate skill development in ESDM sector focusing on students/unemployed youth at 9-10th standard onwards, ITI, Diploma, Non-engineering graduates, etc. to increase their employability to work in 'Manufacturing' and 'Service support' functions, a 'Scheme for Financial Assistance to select States/UTs for Skill Development in Electronics System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) sector' was approved by DeitY in November, 2013. A total of 90,000 persons are to be supported under the scheme in the selected States in 5 levels of vocational skill development courses recognized by NIELIT/Electronic Sector Skill Council/Telecom Sector Skill Council.

Skill-wise Targets:

All the courses are to be aligned with NSQF (National Skill Qualifications Framework) at various Levels (i.e. upto Level 5) in a modular way.

For arriving at targets for individual State/UT, all the states and UTs are to be categorized in to 3 categories depending on the number of students enrolled at graduate level (Arts, Commerce, Science streams) and Polytechnic vis-à-vis the Population of the State.

Categorization of States/UTs:

Implementation Strategy:

The Skill Development initiative needs to be implemented jointly by the States/UTs Governments, Industry and Skills Providers (both public and private). DeitY recognizes that the approach to finding a sustainable solution has to follow a dual pronged strategy. It is observed that the unemployment is much more prevalent among people who have already acquired a Higher/Senior Secondary/ ITI Certificate, Polytechnic Diploma or completed an Undergraduate course from a College. As several of these candidates remain unemployed, there is a need to bring in a meaningful intervention while these students are still in schools and colleges which will substantially reduce the likelihood of these persons joining the ranks of the unemployed as soon as they leave their school or college. This clearly suggests a preventive dimension to the whole approach to providing skills and enhancing employability. The second prong of the strategy would be equipping the unemployed with more relevant skill sets in upcoming sectors like ESDM and thereby reducing or bridging the gap between their skills and what ideally industry requires presently.

Under the instant scheme all the States/UTs would need to tie-up with various Industry, Electronics Sector Skill Council of India (ESSCI), Telecom Sector Skill Council (TSSC), National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology (NIELIT) and Skill Providers both in Government and private sectors, etc. to participate in this collaboration.

Types of Courses to be covered:

The scheme is proposed to facilitate all kinds of Non-formal skill oriented courses that could go on evolving as per industry requirement as per the following broad parameters:

• Designed, evolved, recognized by Sector Skill Councils/NIELIT
• Standard courses conducted by ITIs, other govt. training institutions could also be included
• To be conducted by agencies/institutions recognized/accredited by SSCs/ NIELIT
• Courses are to be in line with National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF) at various Levels (i.e. upto Level 5) in a modular way
• Duration of courses could range from 200 hrs to 400 hrs.
• Could be imparted in part-time mode or full-time mode.
• Course fee could be arrived at depending on no. of hours, level of expertise involved and type of investment required for creating training infrastructure, labs, etc.
• All courses to follow a uniform training process prescribed by NIELIT or SSC.
• All candidates trained by various agencies to acquire certificate by NIELIT or SSC to become eligible for financial assistance.

All candidates trained by various agencies to acquire certificate by NIELIT or SSC to become eligible for financial assistance. An Expert Committee has been constituted by DeitY which will recommend various courses to be covered under the scheme. The Committee will look into various aspects like syllabus, content, course fee, course duration, training process, etc. for any such course to become eligible for funding under the scheme. The Expert Committee will also recommend new Courses from time to time depending on the new emerging requirements including such courses that may not be available and/or popular and/or viable but essential for a particular need.
