Skill Training Scheme
Enhancing Capabilities in the Textile Sector
SKILL TRAINING SCHEME - Introduction
As part of the Haryana Aatma Nirbhar Textile Policy 2022-25, the Haryana Government has introduced the Skill Training Scheme aimed at enhancing the skill set of the workforce in textile MSMEs. This initiative supports the establishment of Common Facility Training and Capacity Building Centres to improve productivity and address the skilled labour needs of the textile industry, which is a significant employer in the state after agriculture.
Objectives and Quantum of Assistance
The scheme’s primary objectives include:
Addressing the skilled workforce requirements of the textile MSMEs by financially aiding the setup of common training facilities.
Increasing employability by providing diverse skill training in the textile and apparel sectors.
Financial assistance under the scheme includes a subsidy of 50% of the total project cost, with a maximum of INR 2 Crore in ‘B’ category blocks, INR 5 Crore in ‘C’ category blocks, and INR 10 Crore in ‘D’ category blocks.
This subsidy is provided to the Implementing Agency (IA) responsible for setting up the training facilities. Costs for land and building are not included in the total project cost.
Implementing Agency (IA)The Implementing Agency can be a group of at least five textile MSMEs forming a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), industry associations, skill development councils, government departments, self-help groups (SHGs), or NGOs. These agencies are tasked with creating and executing the common facility training centres.
Eligibility Criteria
Eligible entities include groups of textile MSMEs that have filed the required Udhyam Registration Certificate (URC) and Haryana Udhyam Memorandum (HUM). These groups must form an SPV as a Section 8 Company to set up and run the proposed training centres. The training facilities must be housed in owned or long-term leased premises of the IA.
Application and Documentation
Applications for the scheme must be submitted online with a Detailed Project Report (DPR) and a Background Verification form. The application process is rigorous, requiring thorough documentation and verification to ensure the legitimacy and feasibility of the proposed training centres.
Procedure for Disbursement and Appeals
The scheme provides detailed guidelines for fund disbursement, which is conducted in two stages and requires substantial documentation, including expenditure proofs and a physical site inspection. Appeals against decisions made by the competent authorities can be made, ensuring fairness and accountability.
Monitoring and Evaluation
The State Level Steering Committee for Textile oversees the scheme’s implementation, ensuring that the training centres are set up within the specified timelines and operate for a minimum of five years. Regular monitoring and evaluations are conducted to assess the progress and effectiveness of the training centres.
Conclusion
The Skill Training Scheme is a strategic initiative by the Haryana Government to fortify the textile sector’s workforce by enhancing skills and increasing employability. Through financial support and structured implementation, the scheme aims to boost the productivity and competitiveness of textile enterprises in the state, contributing to broader economic growth and development.
