The
National Skill Development Agency (NSDA) was notified on 6 June 2013 and has
been functional ever since.
The
NSDA is an autonomous body, with functions which inter alia include taking
all possible steps to meet skilling targets as envisaged in the 12th Five Year
Plan and beyond; coordinating and harmonizing the approach to skill development
in the country; anchoring and operationalizing the
National Skills Qualification Framework to ensure that quality
and standards meet sector specific requirements; being the nodal agency for
State Skill Development Missions; evaluating existing skill development schemes
with a view to assessing their efficacy and suggesting corrective action to
make them more effective; creating and
maintaining a national database relating to skill development including
development of a dynamic labour market information system; and ensuring
that the skilling needs of the disadvantaged and the marginalized groups like
SCs, STs, OBCs, minorities, women and differently abled persons are taken care
of.
NSDA is an agency that is mandated to coordinate the
skilling effort of the Government of India. It is not mandated to skill a
targeted number of people. However, as per details provided by NSDA, the
Ministry-wise physical achievements made during 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14
are given in Annexure.
This
information was given by the Minister of State for Finance, Smt. Nirmala
Sitharaman in written reply to a question in Lok Sabha today.
