development of all schemes in the district; Registration, Enrolment, Attendance monitoring,

Assessment, Placement, Post Placement Tracking, TP Lifecycle Management, Payment Gateway,

Integration with Central Portals like SMART, SDMS etc.

Improving District’s Institutional & Staffing Capacity: For Institutional Strengthening at the

District Level GSDM will appoint a team of 3 persons in each district. The district team will comprise

skill & IT resources along with an office support for documentation, and data entry.

Valsad District will undertake periodic skill gap studies to understand skill demand of primary,

secondary and tertiary industry sectors as well as expectations and aspirations of youth, parents, and

communities.

In addition to district skill gap report, GSDM will also prepare and publish Industry Sector Wise

and State Skill Gap Report. Skill gap report will touch base all the key skilling stakeholders namely

industry associations, employers, government departments having large scale skilling portfolio,

training/job seekers, training providers and communities.


Up gradation of course curriculum and NSQF alignment: Trades which are more attracted in the

district towards service sector courses mainly education and training, hospital and healthcare and IT-

ITES should be promoted. Courses relating to engineering goods, machineries and tools, chemicals,

pharmaceuticals and electrical & electronics are opted by the trainees among the manufacturing sector

courses.

Catering the skill demand of priority industries sector: With advancement in technology within

existing industries and expansion of industry sectors which were not quite prominent a decade ago in

the district, requirement of multi-skilled and specialized manpower has increased. With effect, the

training institutes are required to introduce new courses for priority industry sectors in the district.

Service sector industries such as IT-ITES, Hospital, Healthcare & Wellness, Education and Training,

Logistics & Warehousing and Retail have emerged as employment providers over a period of time and

is expected to provide employment to a huge population.

Training of trainer and its certification: It is of utmost importance to have quality trainers who are

capable of training in line with industry requirement to ensure quality training. One major gap has been

observed in induction and refresher training of trainers. A residential seven-day induction training

should be mandatory for new recruits.

Improving women participation: Vocational Education and training are essential mechanism of any

strategy to improve farm and nonfarm productivity that improves rural incomes. Skill is the bridge

between job and workforce.

Women often have different training needs than men, since they are more likely to work as contributing

family workers, subsistence farmers, home-based micro entrepreneurs, or low-paid seasonal laborers,

in addition to handling their domestic work and care responsibilities.

Skills development is a key to improving household productivity, employability and income-earning

opportunities for women and also for enhancing sustainable rural development and livelihoods.

Candidate Mobilization, Counselling and guidance are amongst the biggest challenges of today’s

skill development space. There is a severe shortage of qualified career counsellors. At district level, the

skill institutes shall leverage the pool of professionals from industries, NGOs, Youth Clubs/Mahila

Mandals, Nehru Yuva Kendra, government and private institutions, who are willing to advise and guide

youth on career goals.

Good Practices in Training and employment undertaken by Valsad district.

Introduction/Modification of Courses for Priority Industry Sectors

With advancement in technology within existing industries and rise in industry sectors which were not

quite prominent a decade ago, expansion have taken place requiring multi – skilled and specialized

manpower. With effect, the training institutes are required to introduce or upgrade their courses.

Therefore, new courses and few modifications to existing courses have been suggested for priority

industry sectors in the district.

Creation of Skill Pool for Upcoming Infrastructure Projects in Valsad

With the proposed large–scale development projects such as Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC),

Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC), Bullet Train, Greenfield port in Maroli and development of Valsad –

Umbergaon industrial area, the construction and infrastructure development sector is estimated to

require a workforce of more than 3000 people.

Special Projects for Fisheries

A major constraint to employment generation in fisheries sector in Valsad is the absence of any

dedicated fishing harbour. However, the government has proposed to develop harbors in PPP mode in

Umbergaon and Bhadeli – Jhagala village in Valsad. It is expected that the PPP mode will bring

industries on board and provide employment opportunities in ice plants, cold storage, fish net

manufacturing units, fish seed hatcheries, and fish processing units.

Vocational Training and Support to Small and Marginal Farmers for Horticulture

45 percent of the working population in Valsad is engaged in agriculture. Valsad is a producer and

exporter of horticultural products such as sapota, banana, guava, papaya, watermelon, cauliflower,

cabbage and carrots. This provides and impetus to the economy in terms of employment generation for

the farming community.

Dairy Entrepreneurship Development Support to Farmers and Small Potential Entrepreneurs

At present, 416 milk cooperatives are in operation in Valsad. The Valsad District Cooperative Milk

Producers’ Union Limited (Vasudhara Dairy) is one of the finest dairy producing firm in the district

based on ANAND (Amul) pattern collectively producing 4 lacs litres of milk per day.

d. Monitoring & Evaluation (including research studies)

Monitoring and evaluation play a critical role in ensuring the success of skill development programmes.

It requires a reliable, accurate and sustainable data collection system. In the current scheme of thing,

most of the skill development programs use mix approach of data collection comprising information

collection portals and paper-based data collection templates. It causes duplication of data, delay in

reporting and sometimes error in data. The governing bodies shall employ following measures to

design a robust data collection system.

M&E of Training Programs

Development of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for Skill Development Programs

Based on Result Based Monitoring (RBM) framework, GSDM will develop/or adopt KPIs for skill development

programs in the district.

Collection & Reporting of Skill Data

redressed preventing mistakes, review and risk identification on day to day basis through surveys, observation,

inspection, reviews, data analysis etc.


Development of Management information system (MIS)

MIS is an organized approach to collect, process, store and disseminate data to carry out management

functions. It should be simple and easy to comprehend, allow access to information flow at different levels

(State, Regional, Nodal, End –User), consist feedback mechanism and should produce ready to use information

for decision making.

Gujarat State skill portal can be instrumental for local employers to locate and hire right skills for their

respective industries. Through the portal employers can access a database of trainees from ITIs, Polytechnics,

KVKs etc. as well as job seekers will also get a notification for available vacancies.
