TS aims to unveil its own skill development mission
On the lines of the recently launched National Skill Development Mission by the Union government, the Telangana State government is going to soon bring its own ‘Telangana Skill Development Mission’ aiming to increase employability and create job opportunities to all educated unemployed youth.
Hyderabad: On the lines of the recently launched National Skill Development Mission by the Union government, the Telangana State government is going to soon bring its own ‘Telangana Skill Development Mission’ aiming to increase employability and create job opportunities to all educated unemployed youth.
State Adviser (Policy) to government BV Papa Rao has been entrusted with the responsibility to prepare the policy document for the mission. Under the mission, all the employment generating departments will have separate skill development centers which will provide training to the youth and provide jobs.
Department of Information Technology, Industries, Agriculture, Municipal Administration and Urban Development, services and construction sectors have been identified as the main avenues for the employment generation. The Mission Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), who will be appointed soon, will coordinate with all departments and implement the objectives of the mission.
Under the Mission, government will identify employment potential in private sector and suggest the respective departments to provide required training for the skill development of the youth. After the training, the trained will be absorbed. The officials of the State Labour and Employment department told The Hans India that the decades old employment exchange established in each district failed to address the unemployment problem .
Therfeore, the State government came out with the proposal of creating the Skill Development mission. About 9.95 lakh people have been registered with the employment exchange seeking jobs in Telangana State. But the exchange had failed to address the grievances of the job seekers as the function of employment organisation is confined only to the recruitment in the government departments.
The mission will take over the responsibility of providing jobs to all the registered people by offering them training facility and the venues to get jobs. The official statistics of 2015 say that 1.37 crore people have been treated as main workers which means they got employment for 240 days a year.
The total population of main workers in the State is 3.50 crore. Another 26 lakh people have been engaged as marginal workers. The mission will help to bridge the gap between industrial requirement and job seekers.
