Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

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
