Executive Summary

National Scheduled Castes Finance & Development Corporation was

incorporated as a fully owned Government Company not for profit under

Scheduled Castes target group for their economic empowerment by assisting

them by means of imparting skills which enable them to undertake either job

employment or self employment.

Non Credit Based Scheme: The Corporation sponsors Skill Development

Training Program for unemployed youth of target group in labour intensive

industries. These training programs are conducted by Government/Semi

Government/ Autonomous training Institution/ Universities/ Deemed

Universities. The trainees are provided free training and stipend of Rs. 1,500/-

trainees are also provided placement assistance and entrepreneurial guidance

to start their own business/enterprise. The guidance to avail financial

assistance from the NSFDC is also provided by the Training Institution.

The objectives of studies of Skill Development Program as per the given Terms

of Reference of NSFDC were:

i. The relevance of skill development training program for the trainees.

ii. To ascertain the status of trainees after completion of training

programme i.e whether in job employment or self-employment.

iii. To ascertain the name of employer, place of employment, their

monthly wage/salary and nature of activity and monthly income in

case of self-employment.

Approach to the Study

i. One inception meeting was done with the NSFDC to broaden the

understanding.

ii. Published annual report was collected which provided the overall

physical and financial progress on different schemes.

iii. Questionnaire was prepared to capture the relevant information from

the trainees and subsequently shared with NSFDC.

10 | P a g e

iv. A suitable guideline was also developed as a ready reference for the

enumerators in the field for selection of trainees and on how to collect

the information from the trainees.

v. An orientation workshop was organized for the Nodal Officers of

NABCONS and enumerators through Video Conferencing to gain clarity

on the questionnaire and follow the process while documenting the

questionnaire.

vi. Contacts were established with Training Centres involved in 10 states

and list of trainees along with their contact details was obtained.

vii. The filled in questionnaires were vetted and scrutinized, followed by

data entry in excel for statistical analysis.

The inspection and evaluation of the trainees was conducted in 10 states as

suggested by NSFDC. The study was completed for all 10 states and

231traineeswere evaluated for the study. The state wise coverage of

scheme and sample to be covered for inspection and evaluation is given

below;

Key Findings

There is evidence of improved income generation after skill development but such claims could have been strengthened if baseline data would have existed.

In most of the states, the trainees were satisfied with the training

programme but recommended for extension of the training duration.

However, in Himachal Pradesh, a significant number of trainees were

not satisfied with the training programme on account of improper

equipment and short duration of the programme.

In all the states, the trainees received stipend in time except Jharkhand,

as the claim and requisite documents were sent late to NSFDC by the

implementing agency.

Sizable fraction of trainees could not cross poverty line after attending

the training program and in states like Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and

Gujarat, no beneficiary managed to cross poverty line.

On the basis of interaction during evaluation study it seemed that the

trainees were largely influenced by the stipend associated with the

training and not on the felt need.

Recommendations

There is evidence of improved income generation after skill

development but such claims could have been strengthened if baseline

data would have existed.

Trainees can be charged certain amount for the training to eliminate

those who join the course due to stipend provided.

There should be proper follow up with regards to payment of stipend to

all trainees to have better impact of the scheme on trainees.

It is recommended to extend training period to at least six months.

Post training, the provision of financial assistance must be explained to

trainees.

Out of 23 male trainees who obtained training,16 are employed which is about

69% of the total male trainees. Out of 16 male employed trainees, 10 have

taken employment with some firms/enterprise. Referring the data of women

trainees, out of total 49 female participants, 34 are employed, but only five

have taken employment with firms/enterprises while the remaining 29

trainees are self-employed.

3.9 Distribution of trainees by Income Level

The wage/salary of employed trainees ranged in between Rs. 1,000 per month

to Rs. 7,000 per month. By this means, the annual income ranges between Rs.

12,000 to Rs. 84,000. As per the eligibility norms prescribed by NSFDC, the

annual income of the applicant should be within the double poverty line limits,

which in case of rural areas is Rs. 81,000 and for urban areas is Rs. 1,03,000.

The half of the limits is considered as Below Poverty Line limits i.e Rs. 40,500

for rural areas and Rs. 51,500 for urban areas.

The analysis shows that,the annual income of trainees of rural areas range

between Rs. 12,000 to Rs. 84,000 with average of Rs. 42,000 per annum. Out of

total 59 rural trainees, 45 i.e 76% are employed. Thirty seven percent of the

trainees have income above Rs. 40,500, meaning they have income above the

BPL limit of NSFDC, while the remaining 39% of the employed trainees have

income less than Rs. 40,500 which is below the BPL limit. Only one beneficiary

has income above the DPL limit. The remaining 36% of the rural trainees of Skill

Development Program reported unemployed. Out of 13 Urbantrainees, only

five are reportedly employed with three below the income of BPL and two

above the income of BPL. None of the urban trainees have reported income

above DPL.Table below gives the distribution of employment status of rural

trainees.

3.10 Relevance of Training Program

The training program is relevant in two aspects (i) capacity of youth in gaining

skill and (ii) getting employment opportunity. This is well established from the

fact that 69% of the sample trainees reportedly employed either with some

enterprise or self-employed. There is evidence of improved income generation

after skill development but such claims could have been strengthened if

baseline data would have existed.

Quite a significant number of trainees were not satisfied with the training

program on account of improper equipment and less durationof the program.

The trainees recommended extension of training period to at least six months.

Post training, the provision of financial assistance must be explained to

trainees.

4.7 Distribution of trainees by income level

The monthly wage of the trainees ranged between Rs. 500 to Rs. 25,000

depending on the type of employment and nature of job. The average annual

income of the trainees is Rs. 71,742.

Total trainees employed 14 100%

Number of beneficiary having income above Rs. 51,500 9 64%

Number of beneficiary having income below Rs. 51,500 5 36%

Out of 14 trainees, 9 trainees have income above Rs. 51,500, benchmark

defined for BPL by NSFDC. While 36% have income below the defined limit.

One important aspect is the income differential observed between self-

employed women and those employed with certain enterprises. The annual

income of self employed women trainees range between Rs. 6,000 to

maximum Rs. 18,000, which average out to Rs. 12,480. In contrast, the annual

income of employed male trainees ranged between Rs. 60,000 to maximum Rs.

3,00,000. All the women trainees who are self-employed have income far

below the income of male trainees of the income. Hence, the nature of

training is also a vital aspect which determines the job opportunity and wage.


It was found that although 100% of the trainees managed to get employment,

either on job employement or self-employment, but the training courses

offered are the determining factor in availing the job opportunity and wage

level. It is evident from the analysed data, that women who availed training in

sewing are mostly self-employed with wage level far below than male who

were employed in firms. However, the earnings may be supplementary to

other sources of income in the family.
