The Empowered Committee Meeting held on 28th May 2018 in Delhi has appointed Leather Sector Skill Council (LSSC) as the National Monitoring Unit  (NMU) for HRD Sub-scheme of ILFADP for 2018 – 2020.

The Scheme: Human Resource Development (HRD) for Placement-linked Skill Development

The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has approved the special package for employment generation in leather and footwear sector. The package involves implementation of Central Sector Scheme “Indian Footwear, Leather and Accessories Development Programme” with an approved expenditure of Rs. 2600 Crore over the three financial years from 2017-18 to 2019-20. The Special Package has the potential to generate 3.24 lakhs new jobs in 3 years and assist in formalization of 2 lakh jobs as cumulative impact in Footwear, Leather & Accessories Sector. One of the sub-schemes under this package is called the Human Resource Development (HRD) for Placement-linked Skill Development.

HRD sub-scheme proposes to provide assistance for Placement-Linked Skill Development training to unemployed persons @ Rs. 15,000 per person, for skill upgradation training to employed workers @ Rs. 5,000 per employee and for training of trainers @ Rs. 2 lakh per person. The placement of 75% of trained persons is proposed to be mandatory for availing assistance related to skill development training component. The proposal under this sub-scheme is to train/skill 4.32 lakh unemployed persons, upgrade the skills of 75,000 existing employees and train 150 master trainers during the three years with proposed outlay of Rs. 696 crore.

 

How LSSC will perform the role of an NMU

Leather Sector Skill Council (LSSC) has been working closely with National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) under the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) for implementing various skill development programs in the leather sector at national and state level.  As an NMU, LSSC will closely monitor the entire training cycle for 2 years through SMART and SDMS portals. By establishing a fool-proof monitoring mechanism LSSC will achieve the goals of quality assurance of the training centers and training delivery, post -training certification and placements.

LSSC will put to use digital Skill Development Management System (SDMS) and SMART Portal platforms as effective monitoring mechanisms for monitoring candidate life cycles and approving training partners respectively. The monitoring process includes activities like:

  • Ensuring on-site day to day attendance
  • Achieving Aadhaar-based linkage to enable direct bank transfer of funds to beneficiaries
  • Training lifecycle management through SDMS portal to ensure data capturing at all stages of training.

LSSC will also be responsible for certification of trained candidates.  The certificate will be co-branded and it will have LSSC logo along with the logo DIPP or Ministry of Commerce, or perhaps the training partners. This is yet to be decided.
