Introduction: Green Skill Development Programme (GSDP)
The Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MoEF&CC), Government of India
has been implementing a Central Sector Scheme titled Environmental Information System
(ENVIS) since 1982-83. ENVIS by providing scientific, technical and semi-technical
information on various environmental issues has served in facilitating policy formulation and
environment management at all levels of Government as well as in decision-making aimed at
environment protection and its improvement for sustaining good quality of life for all living
beings. ENVIS is a decentralized network of 67 Centres of which 32 Centres are dealing with
“State of the Environment and Related Issues” are hosted by State Government / UT
Administrations, called ENVIS Hubs and remaining 35 Centres are hosted by environment-
related governmental and non-governmental organizations / institutes of professional
excellence, with varied thematic mandates pertaining to environment, called the ENVIS
Resource Partners (RPs). Utilizing the vast network and expertise of ENVIS Hubs/RPs, the
Ministry has taken up an initiative for skill development in the environment and forest sector
to enable India’s youth to get gainful employment and/or self employment, called the “Green
Skill Development Programme (GSDP)”. The programme endeavors to develop green skilled
workers having technical knowledge and commitment to sustainable development, which will
help in the attainment of the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs),
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and National Biodiversity Targets (NBTs). India
being the second most populous country in the world is bestowed with a large working
population and has advantage of reaping this demographic dividend. However, high drop-out
rates from school coupled with poor vocational skills may hinder in reaping this dividend.
There exists a demand-supply gap of skill sets, both cognitive and practical, at various levels
in the Environment / Forest fields in India. Green skilling is crucial for making a transition
from energy and emissions – intensive economy to cleaner and greener production and
service patters. Hence future activities under GSDP will include process based green skills
such as, monitoring and managing activities such as waste, energy efficiency, impact
minimization and assessment, etc. Realizing the demand for green skilled youth, the (GSDP)
has been conceptualized and developed in MoEF&CC in consultation with National Skill
Development Agency (NSDA), the nodal agency for synergizing skill development initiatives
in the country, under the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE).

Background
India being the second most populous country in the world is bestowed with a large working
population. India has advantage of reaping this demographic dividend. However, high drop-
out rates from school coupled with poor vocational skills may hinder in reaping this dividend.
There exists a demand-supply gap of skill sets, both cognitive and practical, at various levels
in the Environment / Forest fields in India.
Green skilling is crucial for making a transition from energy and emissions – intensive
economy to cleaner and greener production and service patters. It also prepares people for
green jobs that contribute to preserving or restoring the quality of the environment, while
improving human well-being and social equity. Hence future activities under GSDP will
include process based green skills such as, monitoring and managing activities such as waste,
energy efficiency, impact minimization and assessment, etc.
Realizing the demand for green skilled youth, the Green Skill Development Programme
(GSDP) has been conceptualized and developed in MoEF&CC in consultation with National
Skill Development Agency (NSDA), the nodal agency for synergizing skill development
initiatives in the country, under the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship
(MSDE).
As a RP of ENVIS, the centre in the year 2018-2019 had under taken training of
ETP/CETP/STP operation and maintenance (O & M) under GSDP of MoEF & CC, GoI.
Total 15 master trainers were trained and some of them got job and rest went for higher
study. Looking to the success of the training, this year (2019-2020) also, ENVIS- MoEF &
CC organized training on Cleaner Production Assessor. The same has been conducted
successfully. We are thankful to ENVIS for putting trust on GCPC as RP.

Industrial Scenario of Gujarat and India including the major industrial incidents such as
London Smog and Bhopal Gas Tragedy. He discussed different types of pollution and its
source. He briefed the two different approaches to tackle pollution i.e. ‘Reactive’ – Pollution
Control after the generation of pollution and other is ‘Proactive’ – Pollution Prevention i.e.,
Cleaner Production. He briefed about the inception of Cleaner Production Concept including
its definition prepared by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) presently
known as the UN Environment including the Cleaner Production Hierarchy.
Dr. Jain also discussed the “Difference between End-of-Pipe (EOP) Treatment Technologies
and Cleaner Production’, he mentioned that End-of-Pipe Treatment focuses on ‘Treatment of
Pollution and Waste’ after its generation through various End-of-Pipe Treatment
Technologies such as Effluent Treatment Plants, Common Effluent Treatment Plants, Sewage
Treatment Plants, Common Hazardous Waste Incineration Facilities, Treatment, Storage and
Disposal Facilities, etc., wherein the concept of Cleaner Production is a ‘anticipate’ and
‘prevent’ philosophy its reduces waste and emissions right at its source of its generation.
