Context :
Govt
to transfer benefits directly to apprentices' bank accounts /
ET / 03 July 2022
Extract :
The ministry of skill
development and entrepreneurship (MSDE) has made the National Apprenticeship
Promotion Scheme ( NAPS ) as part of the direct beneficiary
transfer ( DBT ) scheme, providing direct government
benefits to all apprentices.
This would prevent delay in payments as well as significantly reduce any
leakages in the system. Earlier
companies used to pay apprentices the entire amount and then seek reimbursement
from the government.
“With the launch of
the DBT scheme, the government will directly transfer its contribution to
bank accounts of apprentices through National Skill Development Corporation
(NSDC),” MSDE said in a statement on Saturday.
Under NAPS, the government
pays 25% of the stipend
payable up to Rs 1500 per month per candidate.
“Apprenticeship is
getting a big boost under Skill India. Crediting stipend into the accounts of
the candidates through DBT will not only be a boost to apprenticeship but also takes us
closer to realising the potential of Skill India “, Skill Development Minister
Dharmendra Pradhan said
National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme ( NAPS )
was launched on August 19, 2016 to promote
apprenticeship training in the country and to provide financial support to establishments
undertaking apprenticeship.
The program aims to motivate employers to hire apprentices and aid them in discovering the right job roles
while maximising their potential through in-depth skill development.
As of today, more than 12 lakh apprentices
have been engaged with various industries.
MY TAKE :
Dear Shri
Pradhan,
Thanks for accepting my
suggestion for Direct Transfer Benefit ( DBT ) of stipend to the bank accounts
of the apprentices, as mentioned in my following email :
Ø Universal Basic
Income …………………………………………….[ 20 Jan 2017 ]
Extract :
Each
trainee will receive Rs 1000 pm ( for course duration of 3 years )
This amount
will get deposited in Jan Dhan bank account of trainee ( DBT )
Whereas this is a very welcome step, by itself, it
is unlikely to achieve our Prime Minister’s dream of turning India into the SKILL CAPITAL of the WORLD , unless the Government also
implements other suggestions contained in my following 26 earlier emails
With regards,
Hemen Parekh
