SENIOR MISSION EXECUTIVE-MONITORING & EVALUATION
DDU-GKY
GENERAL INFORMATION
1.
CONTEXT
. The Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD), Government of India, is implementing
a placement linked skill development program called the DDU-GKY - Deen Dayal
Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (erstwhile known as the Aajeevika Skills
Program). The vision of DDU-GKY is “Transforming Rural Poor Youth into
Economically Independent and Globally Relevant Workforce”.
DDU-GKY aims to achieve this vision with an inclusive agenda, standards-led
delivery focused on industry requirements and its outreach that makes skills
acquisition aspirational amongst the rural poor, thereby helping to create an
empowered and productive workforce.
DDU-GKY is unique in its focus and approach to skilling. It is the only national
level program that is fully focused on youth from poor rural families to ensure that the
majority of the potential demographic dividend which resides in the villages of the
country are equipped with skills to participate in economic growth of the country. In
its design and mandate DDU-GKY gives priority to disadvantaged groups such as
the SC/ ST/ women/ minorities and people with disability (PWD), victims of human
trafficking and particularly vulnerable tribal groups (PVTGs) and other such
vulnerable groups.
DDU-GKY has many “firsts” to its credit. It is the first program to launch
“Roshni” which is a placement linked skill training program aimed at rural youth in
left-wing extremist (LWE) districts of the country. Similarly, DDU-GKY is a pioneer in
launching “Himayat” aimed at providing skills and employment to the youth of
Jammu and Kashmir. Both of these programs have been highly appreciated by all
stakeholders and have now become the norm for providing productive alternatives in
conflict areas. DDU-GKY also has been pioneer in setting the very first standards for
infrastructure and processes for skill delivery in the country, supported by a quality
framework that puts self-regulation at the heart of its quality policy. In its objective to
benchmark skills to global standards, DDU-GKY has also been the first mover to
introduce information technology supported by tablets for every trainee, soft-skills
and English language delivery.
DDU-GKY is implemented through a 3 tier structure with MORD at the apex
as the policy making, facilitation and coordination agency; the State Skill Missions
(SSMs) / State Rural Livelihood Missions (SRLMs) as the state level nodal
implementation support agencies and external organizations (Corporates, Societies,
NGOs, Private Skill Training providers) as Project Implementation Agencies (PIAs)
who serve as the skill and placement providers under the program. The DDU-GKY
envisages a central role for SSMs/SRLMs in driving program delivery, its quality and
outcomes. The DDU-GKY guidelines provide additional information on the program.
The guidelines can be accessed under the resource section of DDU-GKY website at
http://www.ddugky.gov.in.
