The aim is to provide skill training in the agriculture sector. The partnership will enable a continuous learning framework leading to training and development of resources in the agriculture industry.
The need for skill development in the agriculture warehouse industry has been recognized by the government and the agriculture industry. This partnership will increase the benefits to the agriculture warehousing industry, which will play a more significant role in shaping and evolving the vocational training curriculum and programs in the country. Some of the benefits include reduced in-house training costs due to the availability of industry-ready personnel through National level certification, creation of a pool of skilled workforce for seasonal load by re-skilling of the currently employed workforce, stated NCML.
NCML President Unupom Kausik said that “the partnership signifies that the government and top players of the agriculture industry are ready to work together by scaling the most essential part of any industry resources. Through this step one can hope for better support like these from the government for the betterment of the Indian agriculture sector in the future”.
“This will give impetus to agriculture growth through skill enhancement of workforce and make Agriculture a sought after occupation amongst the youth”, says Satender Singh Arya CEO, ASCI.
The process is divided into three parts which include training courses, prior learning and special projects. NCML will recognize prior learning for different skills which are matching the qualification pact of ASCI and will recognize people in the states including Delhi, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Haryana, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh.
ASCI will be a facilitator for creating occupational standards for various job roles as per the National Skill Qualification Framework, facilitate accreditation processes for the training being carried and certification of trainees, all of which would be approved by the industry experts.
