Vor rund einem Jahr sagte Premierminister Narenda Modi öffentlich, dass er Indien zur Human-Ressource (HR) Welthauptstadt machen wolle. Jetzt will die Regierung einen Plan entwickeln, um Arbeitskräfte auszubilden und zu exportieren.
Skill Development necessary to make India 'Human Resource Capital' of the world : PM Narendra Modi
The move comes almost one year after Prime Minister Narendra Modi suggested
that the country should aspire to be the global human resource (HR) capital. The
central government has now decided to put in place a formal plan to export
country's surplus manpower after proper training.
Skill Development
Minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy said: "India is trying to put in place a formal
system for mobility of its trained manpower to countries where there is a Need".
On the radar are three key regions, central Asia, Europe and Australia. He said
for each country, his ministry will follow specific standards of training that
is acceptable to the nation. His ministry will begin this by setting up 11
centres in states such as Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and some
North-Eastern states, among others, to train people who can go aboard to
work.
Ministry officials said nearly a million people go abroad every
year from India but most of them are neither well trained nor aware of
immigration rules. The mobility is largely self driven. The new initiative will
formalize the talent flow from India, depending on the needs of a region.
For example, central Asian countries need a lot of blue collar workers,
Australia needs a lot of trained manpower in hospitality and in Europe,
countries need people for geriatric care, said Rajesh Agrawal, a joint secretary
in the skills ministry.
Agrawal said his ministry is now mapping
requirements of several countries in key regions and will provide customized
training to people. Authorities in the skills ministry said Modi is likely to
unveil some of the centres in a month's time.
On 15 July last year, Modi
had said: "If China is like a 'manufacturing factory' of the world, India should
become the 'human resource capital' of the world. That should be our target and
we should lay emphasis on that.” Noting that the world and technology is
changing fast, he had called for a "futuristic vision and prepare plans for the
next 10 years". He had said that Indians can serve the world provided they
acquire the required skill, keeping pace with the changing world. The Prime
Minister had pegged India's surplus manpower at 40-50 million over the next
decade.
"The aim is to put a structured format for people going abroad
for jobs. A foreign job is an aspiration and attaching skill training to it will
be a win-win for the government, job seekers and skill sector," Agrawal added.
He said, while the international centres will be run by private training
partners, they will have to adhere to country-specific training requirements.
Subsequently, the ministry will rope in international placement agencies to help
these people get placed abroad.
The aim is to customize human resource
requirements as per the need of a country, and before immigration, train them
not only in the domain knowledge required in a particular country but also on
immigration rules, culture and work life of the country.
Skills
development secretary Rohit Nandan said his ministry will sign a memorandum with
the ministry of external affairs to train people before their immigration. "Of
the total manpower getting absorbed to the workforce, the country may not need
more than 20-30%, and the rest of the new addition to the workforce India must
be sent abroad, but only after customized training. This decade and the next
decade can be of India if we channelize people revolution well," said Tahsin
Zahid, chairman, skill development committee of industry lobby group PHD Chamber
of Commerce and Industry.
