CREDAI has initiated skill development training for construction workers across Mumbai
While the construction sector continues to
grow at a rapid pace, it continues to be devoid of skilled manpower. In
order to bridge this gap, CREDAI introduced its skills training program
for construction workers across the country in line with the Pradhan
Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY).
PMKVY is the flagship scheme for skill
training of youth, implemented by the new Ministry of Skill Development
and Entrepreneurship through the National Skill Development Corporation
(NSDC). The objective of this skill certification and reward scheme is
to enable and mobilize a large number of Indian youth to take up skill
training and become employable and earn their livelihood. CREDAI is
taking this initiative across the country through its member developers
spread across 24 states and 156 city chapters.f
Under this program, CREDAI will initiate pilot
projects through its training partner Rustomjee Academy for Global
Career (RAGC) and conduct skill development training of 180 construction
workers in Mumbai and MMR at various ongoing project sites of Dosti
Realty, Mantri Reality and Keystone Realtors. Soon PMKVY will be taken
to other developers. The program will impart ‘on-site and classroom
training’ to the construction workers that will help in developing
technical skills and safety. The candidates who successfully complete
and pass the training program will be certified and rewarded by the
government.
Jitendra Thakker, Chairman of the Committee for Skill
Development at CREDAI, who is also a Board member of NSDC and a member
of the Governing Body of CSDCI, says, “CREDAI aims to build a foundation
of skills which will automatically translate into enhanced quality of
output in the construction sector. We are also looking at soft skills
training that will promote better livelihoods.”
CREDAI’s skilling initiative in Pune known as KUSHAL
marks the success of the foundation of its skilling programme with more
than 28,000 workers trained and certified. Two of these trainees have
represented India on a World Skills Competition held in New Zealand.
Parusharam Naik (19 years) and Tikam Singh (21years) won bronze medals
in the task of brick laying and tiling.
