Supported by:
Sir Dorabji Tata Trust
Period of Report:-JUNE-2010 TO OCT-2011
1. Summary
The project is implemented in the semi-urban and rural area of Bhiwandi Taluka, Thane District in the state of Maharashtra. The semi-urban part has more than 75 per cent Muslim population. The area is communally sensitive. It has a lot of small and medium sized industries. Bhiwandi used to specialize in power-loom industry, and was known for its textile production. However, with mechanization of industry, many of the units have closed down, with a diversion to other units like Iron Cos & Chemical Cos. The rural area needs a different approach, also promoting modern and eco-sensitive methods of agriculture and other relevant vocations.
The findings of needs assessment reveal that in Bhiwandi multireligiousK communities are present. Hindus & Muslims are predominant as compared to other religious communities. Majority of residents in Bhiwandi have poor economic condition. Majority of the families surveyed had no income. Most of the residents had income below poverty line .School Dropout ratio is very high. A higher percentage of those interviewed have given feedback that because of poor economical condition they are not able given their children further education. A high percentage of people are illiterate in these communities and are working in private sector as unskilled labourers. There are very few vocational training institutes located in the communities. Huge MIDC area is present, & different types of companies are present.
During the period of report November 10 to June 11, most of the planned activities took off, with completion of training of 587 boys and girls in Tailoring & Cutting, Beautician, AC/ Ref, Wireman, Basic Computer and English Speaking, Mobile Repairing, Fashion Design, Masonry, Advance Beautician, Nursery vocations in two centre of hanuman Mandir & gayatri nagar, Shelar (Tie up with NGO SAI VAJRAI SEVA MANDAL) & Anagaon (Community Centre). The promotion and publicity was done with the help of rallies, community meetings, road shows, school visits, and interaction with local NGOs. The success has been fairly good. Apart from training, all students are given training in basic computer skills, English speaking and life skills. Initiation of drop-in centre and YP Club activities also start at community.

Placement of students is seen as a major challenge and it was decided to involve all the project team members in this component. There was a
campaign to intensify this work and a very high number of during period of report passed out 551 & placed 281 student placements were achieved due to this. The team members expressed that they were successful in placements due to the campaign. Revenue generation through placement is also seen as a challenge.
Community participation was attempted during the period and more activities are planned in the next quarter to strengthen this process. There are about 70 SHGs in the area, and opportunity to get them involved is tremendous. In the next phase, events are being planned to achieve this. We seek SDTT’s help in networking with like minded NGOs/SHG’s in the area.
There is a project team in place with 15 members. They met regularly on a weekly basis and monthly meetings were also organized for regular review and planning. Capacity building on orientation to activities and strategies, training on placement and exposure visit to an existing project which is doing well, were organized. There was negligible staff turnover as only 3 staff left us during the period.
Overall, the project has progresses well despite initial hurdles of girls not attending due to resistance from families which have been overcome by constantly engaging the community. The team members worked very hard to achieve the targets. Areas like quality education, placement of students, community participation have more scope to be strengthened during the consolidation phase. Processes of quality assurance and participatory monitoring and evaluation were firmed up to make the project implementation more effective.
2. Background of the Project
The Yuva Parivartan (YP) Movement was initiated in 1998 and formally launched by former President, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, in 2003 with a view to reach out to the out of school youth in the city of Mumbai. The aim of the YP programme is to increase the employability of school dropouts by imparting training in vocational and other skills, and assist them in finding employment / self employment to become earning and productive members of society. It also seeks to empower these youth by way of promoting leadership and active participation in social initiatives.
Over the last ten years Yuva Parivartan has set up 30 outreach centres in Mumbai, Thane, Raigad, Pune, Nashik, and Bangalore & 5 Jail centers that offer vocational training programmes to the less educated youth in the age group of 16-25. Five out of these centres are located in jails providing vocational skills training to youth convicts between the age of 16 and 25 to inspire and motivate them to lead normal lives of dignity and self respect. Vocational training along with life skills, counselling and motivational talks by experts helps the youth bring meaning in their lives once they are released. The youth enrolling at the centres can choose any course from a basket of over 15 vocational courses, each of 3-6 months of duration. After the completion of the course, students are assisted for job placement or encouraged to start self employment. The centres train over 8,000 students per annum out of which over 60 per cent have been placed with reputed organizations and are self employed. Overwhelming percentage of the students have been women. Industry Partnership in running the centres has been an effective strategy, not only to facilitate the placement process but also in designing of the course content and giving hands-on training to the trainees.
This project is the outcome of a detailed Impact Assessment and Institutional Evaluation Process that was initiated in 2007. The review team made several suggestions. The report was also shared with the team members internally and a formal presentation was made to Sir Dorabji Tata Trust in March 2008.

A proposal detailing the processes at the select three centres was submitted to the trust for consideration in October 2008. After a number of deliberations with SDTT, it was decided that instead of three centres, a peri-urban centre addressing employment/ Vocational Training needs of the migrant youth population could be considered for developing a pilot project to implement the consolidation process. This centre could be a model for addressing the special needs of the migrant population.
Among the peri-urban centres of KSWA, Bhiwandi Outreach Centre and its extension centre was selected to be developed as a model on the basis of pre-determined criteria which included space availability for expansion, scope for introducing new courses especially for rural areas, staff enthusiasm, and the need and the response of the local population. One of the major criteria also was to select a centre addressing minority migrant population.
The project which began its functioning from June 2009, has been taken up in collaboration with Shri. G. G. Dandekar Pratisthan which has offered its premises and infrastructure. Vocational training & placement of less educated deprived youth and school dropouts in the Rural & Slum Areas of Bhiwandi have been taken up. Areas including Navi Vasti, Gayatri Nagar, Rameswar Talav, Chayhan Colony, Ajmerner, Edgaha Road, Nagoan Talav, Balaji nagar, Kasai Wada, Ansar Nagar, Aasbibi, Ajami nagar, Pipe line, Temghar, Bhawani Lane, Phule Nagar, Dhamankar Naka, Angaon, Shelar, Vanja Patti, Pilanze, Lamaz, Raoji Nagar, Ranjnoli, Saravali, Sakhroli, Nadi Naka, Kamat Ghar, Varahal Devi, Juni ST, ST Depo, Padma Nagar, Anand Dighe Chowk, Gove Gaon, Mandai, Bhadwad, Pimpal Ghar, Nehru Nagar, Narpoli, Mansovovar, Feni Pada, Sonar Pada, Dubhad, Kharbhav, Chilcholi, Ashok Nagar, Vandane, Ghorsai, Depoli, Sonale, have been taken up. The total population of the slums covered is 80000 approx. The population includes people from different states of India like Bihar, UP, MP, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu & west Bengal and Maharashtra itself. The population consists of Muslims, Hindus and Christians.
The project is being implemented mainly in 4 centres:
1. Hanuman Mandir which houses more than 75% families, who are predominantly Muslim
2. Gayatri Nagar which has mixed population of Muslims, Hindus, neo-Buddhists and Christians
3. Shelar Hindu which includes population involved in agriculture.
4. Angaon Hindu which includes population involved in agriculture
5. Bhiwandi rural, which includes population involved in agriculture.
6. Work with self-help group in Bhiwandi area
The objectives of the project are:
1. To provide quality vocational training and placement of less educated and drop out youth in the area covered
2. To provide a platform for youth to contribute to their own development and at the policy level by creating a youth movement.
3. To promote community integration and ownership,
4
4. To develop organisational systems, procedures and policies for maintaining quality by strengthening the documentation and MIS, building capacity of the staff as partners to YP, capable of self-sustaining the centre.
5. Collaboration with the government and other like minded NGOs to offer integrated development services to the youth groups.
For sustainability of the Bhiwandi centre and the other activities of the organisation YP has also started two new initiatives aiming at revenue generation, namely, the Yuva Parivartan Placement and Training Agency and Entrepreneurship Development Institute (YPIED). Both these initiatives plan to raise revenue to cover almost 90 % of the project costs after the third year of its introduction.

4) Enrolment of the courses has been 587 which is more than our target (500). This means that community has accepted the Project well.
5) As conveyed in our last report, many Muslim girls continue to come regularly to the ORC. The girls attending the courses have motivated other girls to enrol.
6) As against the expected percentage (60%) of placement we have been able to place almost 73% of our students during the period May 10 to Jun 11
8). We are working towards collaborating our activities with FPAI for Health activities. We have also networked with Samaj Kalyan Nyas , Mahendra Samaj Kalyankari Sanstha .
9) An attempt is being made to form Bhiwandi NGO Forum in month of Nov 10 KSWA ORC is an active member of this network.
10) Govt. funds & schemes have been leveraged for Motor Driving scheme. There has been revenue generation (mainly in kind) through community participation. As well as Govt. funds & schemes have been leveraged for Central labour Board for Self help group on Entrepreneurship program.

We will be training about 66 students both girls & Boys. However, their placement would not be a Challenge.
13) Better rapport with SHGs has been done.
14) We also shared YUVA PARIVARTAN COMMUNITY CENTER at Shelar 7 Angaon village in month of Nov 10
b) Challenges faced:
Overall challenges:
1. Documentation and MIS needs are in the process of being more inclusive of process indicators.
2. Detailed Needs assessment Job market survey has taken longer than expected.
3. Process of leveraging Government Schemes is very time consuming.
4. Sustained efforts of revenue generation and community participation are also seen as a challenge.
5. Employers feel that the students won’t have etiquettes, honesty, motivation, responsibility and ownership. They need to be motivated to accept our students.
6. Motivating students and convincing parents/guardians towards career orientation and becoming self sufficiency. Peer pressure tries to de-motivate the students from going to classes.
7. Industries, because of the bottom line – profit making, are not willing to encourage and do hand-holding for the under-privileged youth.8. Students are not willing to travel long distance to do jobs.9. Some students want to earn money fast and with minimum effort, which is difficult.
Thus some of the challenges reported during Phase 1 have been overcome. We are trying our best to address the above.
c). Project Outputs and Dissemination Detailing of the Need Assessment Surveys and Baseline:
The Needs assessment survey pertaining to placement of the students has progred. The Questionnaires have been filled in from 750 different industries & the Survey has complited
anuals, syllabi of programmes ;

NEW INITIATIVES under YPISD:1. FEE BASED ACTIVITY :
Besides the general Vocational training courses conducted by the ORCs and the MORCs, KSWA for the first time made a shift in the scope of training activities undertaken, by charging fees to those who can afford to pay the same. Thus the Fee based activity was started. As the name suggests, courses spanning a wide cross section of topics were started in ORCs as well as outside to train the general (people who can afford to pay for courses) category of people at a fee.
The course was conducted for a fee ranging from Rs. 1000 – Rs.5000 and spans a period between 3 days to 45 days depending on the nature of the course undertaken.
37
Courses were conducted on the following topics:
- EMU farming- Saree draping- Advance beauty training- Digital photo editing- Aroma Therapy- Paper products- A/C, Refrigerator repairing
2. ACADEMY PROGRAM
The Courses for which we charge fees are treated as Academy Courses. Academy Courses are the advance version of ORC courses which in turn gives the specialization in some field to the candidates. These courses are increasing the employability opportunities to the candidates. We should target the area / community surrounding our reach area who is having High paying Capacity & to whom we normally do not cater. We have started advance courses in following four academies: -
a. English Academyb. Computer academyc. Beauty Parlor Academyd. Tailoring & Fashion Designing Academy
3. MORC :
MORC is a project which is the unique combination of vocational training plus entrepreneurship. Since there are very limited opportunities in rural and semi-urban areas, we have decided to reach out to the rural areas through Community Based Organisation (CBO) and NGO. These CBOs and NGOs will impart vocational skills to the masses by working as our MORC Partners.
Nanded District lies in the eastern portion of Marathwada region, which corresponds to Aurangabad Division of Maharashtra was selected as a venue for spearheading a pilot project of starting Mini Out Reach Centres (ORCs). The project was successfully implemented by overcoming the various teething problems that any new venture faces. 108 applications were received for potential partners to set up the Mini ORCs, after a
round of extensive advertisement and publicity through newspapers distributed in the area, out of which 31 ORC partners were eventually selected.
Since most of the small NGO / CBO are run by individuals, MORC project is assistance to potential entrepreneurs to earn while imparting skills. It is the model for imparting vocational skills through entrepreneurship development in rural and semi- urban areas.
4. SPONSORSHIP ACTIVITY :Usually the Government gives the mandate for training to other Government organizations or NGO bodies certified by the Government. For the first time, KSWA was given such recognition to run Govt. sponsored programs, Some of the projects undertaken by KSWA under this category were :
i. Directorate of Industries, Govt. of Maharashtra:
Training to be imparted under the sponsorship received from Directorate of Industries, for urban poor. 50% of the candidates trained were from the scheduled caste and 50% were from the general category. The training was conducted on the following topics :
38
Aromatherapy – 30 students
Paper Products – 30 students
Motor mechanic – 30 candidates
A/C and refrigerator repair – 30 candidates
All the courses were conducted in keeping with Government rules and regulations and the candidates were awarded certificates signed jointly by both officials- Government and KSWA.
ii. Department of Employment and Self Employment (DESE):
This activity was sponsored by the DSES where training was to be imparted in Retail Sales training to 513 candidates all from the SC category. The activity covered 3 districts namely Mumbai city, Mumbai suburbs and Thane. The mandate was to provide training to the students and to assist them for employment in the retail sales industry. Training of these students is over and the placement is underway. Some of the places where the candidates have been placed are Infinity mall, Westside stores.
iii. District Rural Development Agency (DRDA), Thana, Government of Maharashtra: (started in April 2010)
DRDA asked KSWA to train women & youth in Self Help Groups (SHG) in Wada Block of Thane district. KSWA imparted training in two categories:
a) Basic Information on Development to 820 candidates
b) In various Skills to 450 candidates. The topic in which skills training was imparted depended on the topic selected by the SHG. Some of the topics that skills were imparted were
o Goat farming
o Buffalo farming
o Brick (kiln) manufacturing
5. MES Schemes
Demand driven short term training courses based on modular employable skills decided in consultation with industry Flexible delivery mechanism (part time, weekends, full time) Different levels of programmes (Foundation level as well as skill up-gradation) to meet demands of various target groups Central Government will facilitate and promote training while Vocational Training Providers (VTP) under the Govt. and private sector will
provide training Optimum utilization of existing infrastructure to make training cost effective. Testing of skills of trainees by independent assessing bodies who would not be involved in conduct of the training programme, to ensure that
it is done impartially. Testing & certification of prior learning (skills of persons acquired informally) The Short Term courses would be based on ‘Modular
Employable Skills (MES)’.
6. MANAGEMENT CONSULTANCY
39
Under the sponsorship through United Ways, KSWA is rendering Management Consultancy to AARAMBH (an NGO from Turbhe, New Mumbai) to run the Livelihood Project in Garment Industry.
