5-Jun-2017: MoU signed between Central Industrial Security Force & National Skill Development Corporation
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Ministry of Home Affairs and the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) & National Skill Development Fund (NSDF), Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
Skill development has increased the employability among the youth. The system in the country needs to be such that it gives enough importance to the skills possessed by any individual and the policies are framed accordingly. Many skills are in huge demand world over and our youth can tap this opportunity, if groomed properly. Aspirational values need to be added to the designations in the system, which will act as an encouragement to the individuals in CAPF.
India can become a world power if youth of the country develop the attitude towards skill development. In the last two and half years, skill development has led to employment of large number of youth in different areas, thereby strengthening India by skill development. Dignity of labour and value of hard work is losing importance in the country, which needs to be addressed and the attitude towards labour needs to be changed. Hard work and dedication are the most important factors in skill development. CAPFs, when given any Government programme for implementation, have executed in a very speedy and efficient manner, for example: Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan and Digital Payment initiative. There is no dearth of skills in India and skills need to be given importance along with degrees to attract youth towards developing their skills.
This project will help families of CISF personnel. Simultaneously, CISF would be contributing majorly in enhancing the skilling initiative and potential.
The MoU provides that CISF, NSDC and NSDF shall work together at CISF units all across the country where Family Welfare Centres are functional and other CISF locations with an objective to impart skill development programs under the Skill India Mission for the purpose of implementation of CISF Multi Skill Development Institute Projects.
The MoU aims at assisting retiring/retired, serving low medical category (LMC) CISF personnel to acquire additional skills and facilitate their resettlement through a second career. It will also provide welfare to wards, family members of serving CISF personnel, retired personnel and personnel killed in action. Skill Development would go a long way towards supporting gainful employment and at the same time would contribute towards nation building.
The MoU shall remain in effect for a period of 5 years (starting from 5th June, 2017 till 5th June, 2022), subject to a mid-term review after 3 years.
