Government brings ITI's under Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship
The handling of over 12,000 Industrial
Training Institutes (ITI), spread across the
country, has been transferred from the
Labour Ministry to the newly-formed Skill
Development and Entrepreneurship Ministry.
Minister of State for Skill Development Mr.
Rajiv Pratap Rudy said that the government
has taken a decision to transfer the Training
and Apprenticeship verticals of the
Directorate General of Employment and
Training (DGET) from the Labour Ministry to
his ministry.
“A major decision has been taken by National
Democratic Alliance (NDA) government that
DGET, the vertical of apprenticeship and
vertical of training, which comprises of 12000
ITI`s across the country, has been transferred
with full administrative support to the
Ministry of Skill Development. This is a major
synergy initiative which has been taken," said
Mr. Rudy.
"The Prime Minister has given a mandate to
bring everything under the National Skills
Qualification Framework, a national standard
for all institutions, for all skill training across
the country. This would amalgamate the
certification process under the Ministry of
HRD," he added.
The government is also fast tracking the
adoption of state-run industrial training
institutes (ITIs) by corporate India and could
let industry include financial aid to SSC while
calculating their statutory social responsibility
spending under Companies Act.
Nearly a million-and-a-half students pass out
of ITIs every year, a critical cog in India’s skills
mission. The labour ministry has a target of
skill-training 100 million people by 2022,
second only to the target for the National Skill
Development Corp. (NSDC), which must train
150 million by the same period.

Govt. Invites Industry to Participate
in Skill Development
RSDC Launches long-term Industry driven Integrated Training Program in Rubber Sector Rubber sector in India faces a complex situation of non-availability of training infrastructure particularly in vocational training space. Currently though there are approximately 40 institutes offering rubber technology courses in India for the graduate and undergraduate segments, but students trained also lack understanding of real manufacturing process primarily, due to lack of infrastructure and apt pedagogical practices. Industry clearly faces challenge, as there is a huge gap between the skills of job applicants and those required for critical positions. Also huge training cost, recruitment overheads and costs of people management places enormous burden on organization’s financials.
Considering these difficult situations and in response to a long standing demand from the rubber industry for trained and skill workforce for technical shop floor job roles, RSDC launched an excellent training model through its training partner LabourNet.

Mr. Prince Nehemiah from RSDC attended the event. Mr. Vishal Gupta, in his inaugural address thanked RSDC and Labour Net for coming forward to train the youngsters through a unique combination of learning through doing. He expressed the hope that based on the success of the HLS model; he would like to build a pool of trained and certified manpower to cater to not only Filcomps but rubber industry at large.
Mr. Ashwini, Regional Manager -Labour Net highlighted the fact that the trainees will earn while they learn and update their skills at the same time. This will lead to overall personality development and enhance their employability.
Mr. Prince Nehemiah, Regional Coordinator – RSDC outlined how RSDC through interactions with rubber industry across India had developed the qualification packs for various job roles required by the sector. He emphasised the importance of skill development in the learning process and expressed the hope that the trainees will make full use of the available opportunities and achieve success.
The trainees then interacted with the trainer and RSDC, Labour Net team and clarified their doubts. The session ended with a valedictory address by Labour Net.
The Make-in-India initiative provides a huge opportunity for the private sector to be part of nation building at the grass-roots level. Skill-based training is going to be the backbone of the Make-in-India initiative and the best way to ensure the vocational training serves its intended purpose is through PPP model. In fact, private sector/industry engaging in vocational education as part of CSR—in exchange for which they can be given tax concessions, infrastructural benefits, financial aid and funding is one way of bringing private players into the field.
They can also take a particular centre under their wings to provide trade-based training. After such training, the onus
must partly be on the private sector to absorb these skilled workers into their organisations. At the same time, they must ensure that their existing workers are not made redundant because of the entry of new skilled workers. This can be done by conducting training programmes within their organisations to skill workers, assess and re-skill & certify existing workers, and sustain that skill in order to maintain a high level of productivity. So, in both ways, direct and indirect, the private sector can play a role in expanding the reach and quality of vocational education.
RSDC urge Rubber Industry to come forward to take benefit of opportunities given by government.
LabourNet has launched a batch for training compression moulding operator and mill operator based on the requirement shared by Filcomps – a rubber component manufacturing company. The unique model termed as “Hybrid Learning Solution” or HLS. In this model, the trainees are trained in the skills required on the shop floor and the industry pays a stipend during the training period. This gives the opportunity for the trainees – often from poor background to learn and earn at the same time. Successful candidates will receive RSDC certificate and may be absorbed by Filcomp can be employed elsewhere. In addition to the technical skills as per their job role requirements, the candidates will also be trained in soft skills and office etiquette. This one year long intervention will lead to the empowerment of over 50 youth from Tumkur and nearby areas.
Training program was launched during an event held on 29
th April at Filcomps premises in
Tumkur. Mr. Vishal Gupta – CEO, Filcomps, Mr. Ashwini Vashisth from Labour Net and

Ms. Anupama Giri Chief Executive Officer, RSDC
As rubber sector progresses and contributes significantly to economic growth of India, it becomes increasingly important that we focus on advancement of skills and these skills have to be relevant to the emerging economic environment. However, the Industry faces a complex paradox, in a land of abundance of labour, the sector is struggling to get right kind of resources and faces acute shortage in terms of skill available v/s skill required.
To overcome these issues, RSDC is trying to develop a strong eco system for the sector by capacity building, affiliating training providers, certification of trainees and trainers, and setting up labor market information systems (LMIS). The objective is to assist in the planning and delivery of training, besides identifying skill development needs and preparing a catalogue of skill types.
In our endeavor to bring quality in training and
to bridge the prevailing skill gap in the sector
RSDC launched different training models to
motivate industry for actively participating in
skilling programs across the country. So far
RSDC’s affiliated partners were focusing on two
models in the industry: Model 1 - Training on
company shop floor” and “Model 2- Training in
the institute premises on lab machines,
followed by internship / OJT on the company
shop floor. Recently, another training model,
“Model No. 3 has been launched which is
known as Hybrid Learning Solutions (HLS),
which is a long term program of 6 months to 1
year”.
HLS can be implemented for fresh training and up-skilling the existing employees. Under this
Model, candidate works in an industry as an Intern on stipend basis from day one. The training is conducted on the company shop floor and Industry partner provides infrastructure support such as class room for theory sessions, tools & Machinery/labs for on the job (practical) training. The theory classes are conducted before shift timings or post shift timings and On the Job Training happens during shift hours where trainer handholds the candidates and explains/teaches them the domain specific skills required for the job. It provides various benefits to industry such as access to trained workforce that is equipped with technical skills, lower or negligible budget for training, re-training and re-skilling, greater productivity with improved alignment of workforce with job requirements. It also reduces attrition due to better integration between job expectations and required skills, better employer-employee relations that helps talent retention. On the other hand, it also provides candidates/trainees with greater opportunities to work with companies on the shop floor and get live exposures along with industry recognized certification. They also get opportunity to earn while learning. To build capacity for skilling and up-skilling of human resources and for making a robust skill development system, RSDC, needs industry’s full support in terms of continuous inputs and feedback. Our sector faces a complex situation of non-availability of training infrastructure in the sector. Hence we urge industry to adopt innovative models of trainings introduced by RSDC and permit trainings to happen on shop floor in collaboration with RSDC affiliated training partners.
