The KVK program was designed to utilize existing institutional arrangements and government infrastructure and build upon the robust network of ITIs in the state. The Commissioner, CET designed the modalities and rollout plan for the program, and an Assistant Director was given charge for the implementation of the program in the state. The Principal of the district level ITI was designated as the
Skill Development Officer (SDO) responsible for executing all the Skill programs in the district (Including the KVK program). A new position of a KVK Coordinator was instituted to head the KVK initiative. The SDO and the KVK coordinator identified available government buildings such as schools, panchayat structures, or other buildings available on rent to start the KVK centers. The buildings were upgraded with essential infrastructure and equipment according to the guidelines provided by CET. A surrounding area of 5‐7 km comprising 6‐7 villages was identified as the catchment area for the KVK.
Learning
The key leanings from the KVK initiative which has pioneered a flexible approach to skill development making it more accessible for women and disadvantaged groups in rural areas are presented below:
taking the training to the doorstep of people‐ adopting a cluster-based approach to skill training can significantly improve access to vocational education in rural areas.
Keeping a flexible program structure ‐ Making skill training programs more flexible by offering short term courses (average 2 to 3 months) and limiting the course timings to maximum 4 hours a day, has proved successful in increasing women enrollment.
Participatory course design‐ involving the community to be trained as part of the course design ensures high enrolment and low drop out. Enrollment of women in the KVK program can be further increased by mandating participation of women in the Kaushalya Vardhan Samitis. KaushalyaVardhanKendras in Gujarat I11
Training in accordance with market demand ‐Providing need based, industry responsive courses enhances the opportunities for employment and self‐employment.
Designing a clear policy ‐ A clear policy framework with roles and responsibilities of government and private stakeholders clearly delineated, and mobilizing existing government machinery to make decision‐making prompt and responsive are key reasons for the successful implementation of the program.
Creating linkages with markets‐By fostering industry linkages and tie‐ups with traders and marketers for home‐based businesses, the KVK program can be made more attractive for prospective trainees.
Breaking the Gender stereotype‐ Skills such as tailoring are culturally associated with women while skills such as plumbing, basic electrical are associated with men. KVK program has been able to break some of these barriers by offering courses such as motor driving and basic computer education which are equally popular among men and women. The program has the potential to encourage participation of women in non‐traditional occupations.
· Skill certification
SRKID in collaboration with Industrial Kaushalya Vardhan Kendra (by government of Gujarat) provides a skill certificate which signifies a unique recognition to his/her acquired skills which could be beneficial in showing tremendous potential of student for future carrier.
