Construction Skill

Development Council of

India

October to November Edition

From the CEO’s Desk

Dear Readers,

This edition of the Construction Skill Development

Council of India’s newsletter highlights the launch

of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna – Gramin by the

Hon’ble Prime Minister of India in Agra. The

national vision envisages the beneficiary led model

of skilling while constructing the house. Not only

rural housing the council is exploring ways to

contribute to skill needs of the Urban Housing as

well.

The council through its pertinent efforts is

committed to build the capacity of the training

providers and assessment agencies. Through this

letter I would request the potential and aspirant

training providers& assessment agencies to reach

us and make available the ideal or unutilised

training infrastructures and capacities.

Also with the strengthening of the Real Estate

Regulatory Bill, 2016 which obliges the developer

to park 70% of the project funds in a dedicated

bank account. This will ensure that developers are

not able to invest in numerous new projects with

the proceeds of the booking money for one project,

thus delaying completion and handover to

consumers. This is expected to speed timely

delivery of flats and sharing of accurate details of

the projects by the developers.

We hope our vision which is to skill 30 million

construction workers becomes a reality soon. We

are working to realize this vision by aligning with

industry and actively anchoring government

programs for fresh training and Recognition of Prior

Learning (RPL) in the most qualitative manner

adhering to the stringent National Occupation

Standards (NOS).
