On Apr 28, 2016

GURGAON: In the quest to recognise existing skills of people and guide them to an advanced career as a part of the Prime Minister’s larger Skill India campaign, National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) in conjunction with the CRPF Family Welfare Association (CWA), on Wednesday launched the pilot project of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for the Spouses of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF).

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process to evaluate skills and knowledge acquired outside the classroom for the purpose of recognizing competence against a given set of standards, competencies, or learning outcomes. It is practiced for a variety of purposes, for example an individual’s standing in a profession, trade qualifications, academic achievement, recruitment, performance management, career and succession planning. RPL has been introduced under Skill Ministry’s flagship scheme – Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY).

This programme is being implemented at Shaurya CRPF Institute, Vasant Kunj by Smart Skill Tech. Private Limited, which is an affiliated training partner of NSDC and will be done under the supervision of the Apparel Sector Skill Council.

The three day RPL exercise will benefit the 72 women who have enrolled for the pilot phase where they will be oriented to the job role of a sewing machine operator and also assessed on their existing skills. They will then be skill certified basis the National Skill Qualification Framework approved by the industry and the government. The orientation will include training into core and soft skills.

Commenting on the commencement of the program, Shri Rajiv Pratap Rudy, Minister of State Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (Independent Charge) & Parliamentary Affairs said, “This is a great opportunity for me personally to thank our CRPF Jawans and salute their families who have been a huge support system to our force, through their constant motivation and unconditional co-operation. I am aware how challenging their lives are. So today, we take this platform to make our little contribution to the families of our CRP force and wish to extend this partnership through our skill ecosystem and recognise their career skills which can take them a long way.”
