sector skill councils plan 2017Let’s begin with the message from ASCI, to be followed by the leaders of other SSCs.

Dr Satender Arya, CEO, Agriculture Skill Council of India (ASCI)

Satender Arya CEO ASCIAs you know, agriculture is a highly unorganized sector and it has some unique challenges. This year, our agenda is to facilitate the implementation government and non-government schemes in imparting skills in agricultural domain.

First point pertains to linking the trained candidates with the industry. Even though agriculture is predominantly an informal sector, in the skilling space, we will try to focus on whatever organized segments are available, however small in number they may be. We want to link up the trained candidates with the industry. This will help them in getting jobs that match their skills. We want to develop a platform where they can connect with the industry and this becomes the resource base for the industry to pick up the right candidates and meet their requirements.

Second, we will explore the promotion of non-PMKVY and non-government funded schemes that come under CSR and other corporate programs.

Third, content development is an area that requires lot of time and energy and this year we would embark on some of the initiatives in developing higher quality content, both for the participant handbooks and training manuals.
