Honourable Minister for Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, Mr. Rajiv Pratap Rudy with team NSDC

that their office on 19 January, 2015

Hello everybody,

Kindly accept our very best wishes for a happy and successful 2015!

A momentous happening: 6 hours at NSDC

On January 19, we had a very special visitor at the NSDC office in Delhi. The Honourable Minister for Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (Independent Charge) and Parliamentary Affairs, Shri Rajiv Pratap Rudy visited and held an impromptu town hall meeting with Team NSDC. He interacted with the leadership at NSDC and shared his vision and ideas for the future, to help NSDC scale its outcome for skilling India effectively, efficiently and in quick time.

This was preceded by a meeting of the Minister and thSecretary with the Honourable Prime Minister on 15

January 2015.

Over the past two weeks, the Minister, Secretary and other colleagues from the Ministry have met with representatives from Sector Skill Councils (SSCs), during a series of meetings including the one at NSDC. Discussions during these meetings revolved around challenges and opportunities facing the SSCs. Shri Rudy suggested a stronger and a more integrated advocacy approach to empower Indian youth with speed and scale.

Another landmark was the first ever MoU signed for a contribution to National Skill Development Fund (NSDF). PowerGrid Corpoation of India agreed to contribute ` 6.5 crore to NSDF from its CSR funds. The MoU was

In the words of the Minister, this is a unique initiative by PowerGrid, where they are investing back in the future of our country's youth. The Minister urged all the corporates in India to come forward and contribute to NSDF.

NSDC also signed a loan agreement with the Gujarat-based NGO - SEWA, with a funding of ` 39.76 crore that will help them provide skills training to 1.37 lakh informal economy women workers in 8 priority sectors, over the next decade, in the state. The initiative will also create access to finance for more than 96,000 informal economy women workers in Gujarat to procure skills and invest in livelihood.

In Kerala, NSDC signed an MoU with the Kerala Academy for Skills Excellence (KASE) for a range of activities including training, capacity building and

Earlier this month, NSDC supported the Ministry of S k i l l D e v e l o p m e n t & E n t re p re n e u rs h i p ' s participation at the Pravasi Bharatiaya Divas and Vibrant Gujarat 2015 held in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. A specially created pavilion aptly named Hunar Yaatra (Skill Journey), provided visitors an opportunity to see the various skill development initiatives taking place in the country both at the union and state levels. It was one of the few pavilions that the Honourable Prime Minister visited after his address to all the Pravasi attending the event. Shri Rudy also visited the Ministry's pavilion on the same day. During the twin event, NSDC ran a signature campaign that saw several hundred visitors pledging their support to the PM's call to make India the Skill Capital of the world.

The NSDC communication campaign was also selected as a finalist at the recently concluded Effies 2014 awards. The USP of Effies award is that it recognises the overall effectiveness of the campaign. We are given to understand that making it to the final list is in itself a matter of honour, given the fact that it was our first campaign since NSDC was formed five years ago.

The Ministry has started work in full swing with three Joint Secretaries, Mr. Pawan Agarwal, Ms. Jyotsna Sitling, Mr. Rajesh Agarwal and two Directors, Mr. Niranjan Kumar Sudhansu and Mr. Jai Prakash Singh, joining the Ministry recently. We welcome them and look forward to working closely with them. The Secretary Shri Arora also chaired several meeting on skills policy, rationalization of schemes, STAR, advocacy and communication amongst others.

I am happy to present these and other interesting developments at NSDC and in the skilling ecosystem that we have the privilege of witnessing from the ringside. Hope you enjoy reading the December 2014 edition of Skill Matters as much as we enjoy telling.

STAR Creates SuperstarsIn December 2014, the focus of STAR was on disbursing monetary reward to majority of the certified candidates.

ABOUT PRAVASI BHARATIYA DIVASthPravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD) is celebrated on 9 January every year to mark the contribution of Overseas Indian

community in the development of India. January 9 was chosen as the day to celebrate this occasion since it was on this day in 1915 that Mahatma Gandhi, the greatest Pravasi, returned to India from South Africa, led India's freedom struggle and changed the lives of Indians forever.

PBD conventions are being held every year since 2003. These conventions provide a platform to the overseas Indian community to engage with the government and people of the land of their ancestors for mutually beneficial activities. These conventions are also very useful in networking among the overseas Indian community residing in various parts of the world and enable them to share their experiences in various fields.

The show is aired every Sunday, 11 am on DD National. By the end of November 2014, 40 episodes covering different skills have been aired.

We are also working on an endorsement campaign, to address the skilling challenge from the demand side. These videos are available at the following link- The plan is to capture 1000 such endorsements by end of http://tinyurl.com/qa6zarp.March 2015.
