ni-msme Bulletin

Hon’ble Minister Distributed Offer Letters at Job Melar. Kalraj Mishra, Honourable Minister of MSME, Govt. of India had graced the 2-day job mela at Deoria (U.P.), organised Mby ni-msme during 26-27 March 2016. This was the first event of this kind held in Deoria.

Speaking on the occasion, the Minister had

appreciated it as a laudable event and

praised ni-msme for the history-making

initiative. Further, he suggested that ni-

msme should organise at least one more

such event in the state, either in Deoria or in

Gorakhpur. Mrs. Anitha Srivasthava,

District Collector and Magistrate; and Mr.

Janmejay Singh, MLA, Deoria; Mr. Mahender

Yadav, President, BJP, Deoria; Mr. Vijay

Kumar Dubey and Mr. M. Chandrasekhar

Reddy, Director General, ni-msme were the

other dignitaries who had participated in

the event.

A total of 3,779 ESDP trainees had been interviewed for placements by 27 employer firms. Out of the 1,092 candidates

selected, 802 were issued with the letters of offer.

Earlier, the Director General had welcomed the assemblage. All the speakers had urged the job-seekers to move on to starting

up their own enterprise after gaining adequate experience. Mr. Rajeev Kumar Banda and Mr. Janapareddy Ravinder, project

coordinators of ni-msme, in their separate addresses, elucidated the necessity and importance of communication skills and

interview techniques. Mrs. Srividya, Mr. Abhishek and team of Job dialogue did a splendid job as knowledge partner. Shri.

Govind Jaiswal OSD, O/o MSME Minister, Shri. Sanjeev Chawla, Director, MSME-DI Kanpur and his team extended best

support for the success of the event.

The function concluded with vote of thanks proposed by Mr. Vijay Kumar Dubey.

The financial year having just closed and Annual Budget announced, the moment is rife for taking stock of what the Institute has achieved and what course adopted in the year by-gone, and evaluate it in the holistic perspective of the Institute’s entire evolutionary spectrum.

The focus of activities has been dominated by training and locus of action has expanded to out of campus sites in order to suit client requirements as well as with consideration to trainee convenience. While participation in the implementation of government schemes for youth empowerment on the increase, simultaneously the Institute has been organising its regular calendar of scheduled programmes and customised interventions with equal vigour.

The just closed FY 2015-16 has turned out to be a heartening interval in the Institute’s history, both in terms of physical performance and financial outcome. In fact, the set targets have been over-run. On the whole, during the entire 12-month period, an unusually large number of over 61,000 participants have been trained through 2,000 plus programmes, as against the set target of 59,795 participants through 1,755 programmes. The programmes – and, by implication, participants too – include the scheduled national and international programmes on the annual calendar, as also the ESDPs conducted under the ATI scheme, sponsored/customised programmes, seminars/workshops, consultancy projects and so on. However, the actual rise has been in the national scheduled programmes segment, which recorded a noticeable growth of above 120 in programmes. Also, the consultancy segment has coursed impressively during the year with more than twice the target achieved. In financial terms, the national sponsored stream, and consultancy segment have captured the colours.

The new feature added to the activities portfolio is the conducting of job melas to help the ESDP trainees with placement on completion of skill training under the ATI scheme. A total of 83 job melas were held during the year in eight states across the country. More than 700 employer firms have participated in these melas in which over 15,000 trainees were selected to fill the skill requirements of MSME’s.

Another novel feature the Institute has added is the launching of the exclusive portal for e-learning. The portal offers 16 e-modules for those interested in getting trained online. The enthusiasts can choose the course of their interest following their online registration. The main aim of launching the portal is to facilitate woman enthusiasts to upgrade/acquire skills of their choice so that they may start their own units. The candidates will be issued with a password after their online registration is accepted and confirmed. The password will give them access to the module for which they have opted. More than 5,000 candidates have registered in the e-portal so far. Of them, over 4,000 have completed their courses, while the rest are going through the learning process.

The Institute has been extra-dynamic in the publication stream during FY 2015-16. Tthe Institute has brought out two publications – both on traditional paintings supported by DC Handicrafts, concerning the Madhubani paintings, has been published in Hindi, while the other on miniature paintings is in English. Five volumes have been published on MSMEs for the Ministry – four of them bi-lingual, in Hindi and English. The English version of the volume on MSME Schemes has been made accessible through mobile app by placing in the Google Play Store.

While there is a great deal more to be achieved vis-à-vis entrepreneurship development and enterprise promotion, the performance spectrum of FY 2015-16 gives a feeling of satisfaction flowing from doing a good job with commitment, the credit for which goes to the dedication of ni-msme family and the gracious support of the Ministry.

We hope to surpass this record in the current FY and polish up the activities in all streams of the portfolio.

From: Silvester Sakala <[email protected]>Date: Sat, Mar 26, 2016 at 9:15 PMSubject: RE: GREETINGS FROM ZAMBIA.To: Umakanta Rao Gudipati <[email protected]>

Dear Dr. G.U.K.Rao,

I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere

gratitude to you and your team for all that you did for us whilst at NIMSME. I want to thank for your professionalism and generosity.

I understand that looking after a large heterogeneous group is not an easy task, but you and the staff at NIMSME made it look easy.

I am very grateful to Mr. S. Rao for all that he shared. I learnt a lot

from him and all the other trainers that came to share their

knowledge and experiences with us.

As for me, most of my expectations from the course were met. It was the most relevant course that i have ever attended. As Mr. S. Rao may

attest, i asked him to organise some more books for me. The book seller was kind enough to come over to NIMSME at Mr. S. Rao's

request and made the requested books available. Mr. S. Rao negotiated the deal for me and i got the books worthy around Rs. 7000.00 at 20% discount. I am very grateful to him for his assistance.

The course has helped me to look at things differently. I hope to

keep updating

you on the progress that i will be making in the promotion of solar driers for

fruit and vegetable drying.

Once more, thank you for the opportunity to participate in such

a training that addresses cross cutting issues.
