“Skill India” is an ambitious program that aims to train 40 crores Indians in different skills by 2022. The tagline of the “Skill India” logo aptly says it all- “Kaushal Bharat, Kushal Bharat” (Skilled India, Successful India). NSDC provides support to all SSCs during the initial years of operations in the form of grants.
Various initiatives by the government of India towards Skill Development are formation of new Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), setting up of National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) notification of National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF), promulgation of National Policy on Skill Development and Entrepreneurship-2015 and formation of Sector Skill Councils (SSCs).
National Occupational Standards (NOS) define the measureable performance outcomes required from an individual engaged in a particular task. It lists down what an individual performing the task should know and also do. These standards can form the benchmarks for various education and training programs and recruitment range of HRM (Human Resource Management) practices.
