“JSS guidelines have been reformed keeping in mind the diverse stake-holders engaged in running these institutions, and will bring in greater flexibility, transparency and uniformity,” Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said at the launch.<\/p>\n

He observed that the centres can play an important role in bridging information asymmetry between skill training and market opportunities thereby giving an impetus to the creation of a workforce equipped in technology-driven skills, including in areas like health & well-ness, tourism, e-commerce, retail and trade.<\/p>\n

The new norms are expected to help identify and promote traditional skills in the district through skilling \/ upskilling; create livelihood linkages and boost training of trainers to develop the capacity through National Skills Training Institutes.<\/p>\n

“The launch of these strategic guidelines is an attempt by the MSDE to re-energize and reinvigorate the Jan Shikshan Sansthans. By aligning JSSs to the National Skill Framework, the government aims to provide standardised training across sectors,” an official statement said.<\/p>\n

Formerly under the Ministry of Human Resources Development, Jan Shikshan Sansthan was transferred to the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship in 2018.<\/p>\n

“Today, out of the 247 active JSSs, we already have 43 JSSs established across 42 Aspirational Districts identified by NITI Aayog and we will soon be introducing a few more in the LWE (left-wing extremism affected) regions to promote skill development of the youth in the region and help them connect back into mainstream economy,” Juthika Patankar, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship said.<\/p>\n

In the past five years, over eight lakh people have benefitted from the JSS scheme. More than 86,000 men have been registered. More importantly, and what is a very encouraging sign, there has been an unprecedented surge in the registration of women, with over 7 lakh registrations, the Ministry said.<\/p>\n

It further said the JSSs have helped open over 1 lakh bank accounts under Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana and mobilised around 7.5 lakh beneficiaries who were enrolled in Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana. With a substantial rise in establishment of more than 1 lakh entrepreneurs, JSS has successfully generated employment across various sectors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
