(a) whether the Ministry is planning to make India as a global hub of skilled manpower;
(b) if so, whether the Government has mapped various countries to find out their demand for skilled manpower;
(c) if so, the details thereof; and
(d) the details of each of the 40-odd skill development schemes/programmes being implemented by Government of India along with performance/status of each of the above scheme in terms of outputs?
(a) Yes Madam.
(b) & (c) A detailed study was commissioned by the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) to understand the overseas employment opportunities. The study covered overseas employment opportunity into 20 key countries in four major sectors namely Manufacturing, Construction, Wholesale and Retail and Health Care. The key trends on overseas employment in India are as under:
(i) People with technical skills and professional expertise migrate to countries such as the USA, Canada, UK, EU and Australia as permanent migrants. Migrants on the skilled side move to developed countries in search of jobs that suit their qualifications. Skilled workers usually take up healthcare, management, financial services or information technology jobs in countries like USA, UK, Australia and the European Union.
(ii) Unskilled and semi-skilled workers migrate mainly to oil exporting countries of the Middle East on temporary contracts. Migrants at the lower end of the market comprise mostly unskilled casual labourers or those who own or hire small means of livelihood such as carts or rickshaws and are self-employed. Unskilled labour looks to move to the Middle East mainly Saudi Arabia and UAE in search of construction and retail trade jobs as these economies offer more jobs due to shortage of labour in the region.
(d) There are about 40 skill development schemes/programmes being implemented by Central Ministries/Departments. A list of these schemes is at Annexure-I. The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship allocates skill targets to Central Ministries to be achieved through their respective skill development schemes/programmes. As reported by National Skill Development Agency (NSDA), 1.04 crore persons were trained under various central skill development schemes/programmes during 2015-16.
