Skills policy being revised to make it result-oriented: Minister
The government is well into the process of revising the National Policy on
Skill Development, 2009, to make it more result-oriented, Skill Development
Minister Sarbananda Sonowal said here Wednesday, while inviting Germany's
involvement in the process.
"The revised policy will also endeavour to
establish the international equivalent of Indian framework on skill development
with the European framework. This will facilitate mobility of workforce,"
Sonowal said addressing a conference on skill development organised by the union
labour ministry and the German embassy here.
Skill development is a focus
area of the National Democratic Alliance government with Prime Minister Narendra
Modi creating a new ministry to handle the subject, the minister
said.
Modi had in his Independence Day speech announced the "Make in
India" campaign inviting companies across the world to make their products in
India and create jobs in the labour-intensive manufacturing sectors.
The
policy is being revised so that schemes of different ministries and portions of
the Rs.10,000 crore earmarked to encourage entrepreneurship are routed through
the newly-formed skill development and entrepreneurship
ministry.
Moreover, the new policy aims to ensure that the country's
youth also fulfil the skilled manpower demand abroad, by benchmarking the
training programmes to international standards.
Germany is a vital
partner in carrying forward the skilling drive and creating a pool of skilled
workforce in the country, Sonowal said.
Speaking on the occasion, German
ambassador Michael Steiner said Indo-German cooperation in the area had got a
fresh impetus following a phone conversation between German Chancellor Angela
Merkel and Prime Minister Narendra Modi where it was emphasised that both
countries were natural partners in the field of vocational education and
training.
