The National Skill Development Corporation’s (NSDC) bi-annual Partners’ Meet last week through up some interesting ideas, with a pledge to skill 3.3 million youth in 2014-15. The target committed for the current fiscal is nearly three-and-a-half times that 2013-14.
S Ramadorai, Chairman, NSDC, said, “This year again we have embarked upon a massive task. The challenge ahead may seem daunting. However based on the past performances, I have the fullest confidence in our Training Partners’, Sector Skill Councils, assessors and the team at NSDC will rise to the occasion and meet the challenge head on.”
During the two-day event, NSDC also signed four Memorandums of Understanding with University Grants Commission, University of Pune, National Urban Livelihood Mission-Himachal Pradesh and Tamil Nadu Open University. The Uttar Pradesh Skill Development Mission signed Service Level Agreements with eight Sector Skill Councils within NSDC.
The close of the event saw five awards bestowed upon IL&FS Skill Development Corporation (Best Performing Partner), LabourNet Services (Best Sustainable Initiative), Gram Tarang-Jatni (Best Training Centre), Kushal-CREDAI (Most Compliant Training Partner), Pan IIT Alumni Reach for India (Best Upcoming Partner).
