From the CEO’s Desk
Dear Readers,
This edition of the Construction Skill Development
Council of India’s newsletter highlights the launch
of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna – Gramin by the
Hon’ble Prime Minister of India in Agra. The
national vision envisages the beneficiary led model
of skilling while constructing the house. Not only
rural housing the council is exploring ways to
contribute to skill needs of the Urban Housing as
well.
The council through its pertinent efforts is
committed to build the capacity of the training
providers and assessment agencies. Through this
letter I would request the potential and aspirant
training providers& assessment agencies to reach
us and make available the ideal or unutilised
training infrastructures and capacities.
Also with the strengthening of the Real Estate
Regulatory Bill, 2016 which obliges the developer
to park 70% of the project funds in a dedicated
bank account. This will ensure that developers are
not able to invest in numerous new projects with
the proceeds of the booking money for one project,
thus delaying completion and handover to
consumers. This is expected to speed timely
delivery of flats and sharing of accurate details of
the projects by the developers.
We hope our vision which is to skill 30 million
construction workers becomes a reality soon. We
are working to realize this vision by aligning with
industry and actively anchoring government
programs for fresh training and Recognition of Prior
Learning (RPL) in the most qualitative manner
adhering to the stringent National Occupation
Standards (NOS).
