Angesichts verfehlter Ziele der Skill Development Politik will die indische Regierung die vielen Schwierigkeiten im Berufsbildungssystem nun mit einer neuen Strategie und neuen Zuständigkeiten begegnen. Es heißt, dass die Roadmap Ende März 2015 beschlossen werden soll.
Govt draws roadmap for skill development
The government has drawn up an ambitious roadmap to enhance skill levels of
millions of people who join the queue of job hopefuls every year.
The plans involves integrating skill enhancement and entrepreneurship in the
syllabi at the school level, set up 2,500 multi-skilling institutions in the
public private partnership mode, and set up institutes of entrepreneurship
development in various centres including upcoming smart cities among
others.
The plan also includes setting up skill universities (one
for each region including one in north-east) to develop large numbers of
qualified instructors, reform and reorient existing industrial training
institutes (ITIs) with industry-driven relevant curricula and leverage 25
Prozent of corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds and defence offset in
skill development projects.
A National policy on skill
development and entrepreneurship will be finalised by March 31, 2015, sources
told HT.
Sources said that the government is likely to launch a
Prime Minister’s fellowship scheme for skilling and innovation. A sustained
national campaign will also be launched to make vocational training aspirational
with celebrities as brand ambassadors.
For entrepreneurship, the
plan involves integrating entrepreneurship training in schools alongside
vocational training programmes. In addition, the government will likely support
setting up incubation and research parks and enable credit linkages through
banks.
The government is also drawing up plans to provide
marketing support to tech start-ups to create one million "digital
entrepreneurs".
According to estimates between 2013 and 2022,
India will have to skill 120 million people in non-farm sectors, with the
highest requirement skilled labour to come from the construction sector (31
million) followed by retail (17 million) and logistics (12 million).
During 2005-12, India added only 15 million jobs, a quarter of the figure
added in the previous six years.
Of India's 1.2-billion
population, 60 Prozent are of the working age. And of the 15 million individuals
who join the queue of job seekers every year, only 3 Prozent undergo vocational
training.
The scheme for adoption of ITIs through public-private
partnership is also likely to be revamped.
In the earlier scheme,
launched in 2007, about 1,396 institutes were to be developed by involving the
industry, which would adopt them while the government would provide a grant of
Rs 2.5 crore for each of them. The scheme did not take off as planned because it
did not have much involvement of the state bureaucratic structure, which is
where the clearances are needed.
