This publication is the fourteenth (14th

) in its series and reflects an attempt

towards creating a reliable database for planning and taking corrective action in

apprenticeship training under the Apprentices Act, 1961. This publication presents

statistics on establishments engaged in apprenticeship training, intake capacity, output

and their employability in the labour market alongwith a brief analysis of the current

status of the scheme. Further, information on stipend to apprentices, participation of

SC/ST in the apprenticeship programme in India besides other related information are

part of this report. I hope that this publication will be useful not only to the planners but

also to the employers, employees, unemployed persons, workers and other stakeholders.

2. The data presented in this publication has been collected through the network of

State Apprenticeship Advisors (SAAs) and Regional Directors of Apprenticeship

Training (RDATs). The cooperation extended by them in providing information has

been commendable.

3. I place on record my sincere appreciation of the work done by team of officers

and staff of Survey & Study Division under overall supervision and guidance of Smt.

INTRODUCTION

It is generally observed that institutionally trained youth have not produced desired result

because training imparted in institutions alone is not enough for acquisition of skills but needs to

be supplemented by training in the actual world of work. For facilitating training and enhancing

the employability of job seekers private/corporate sectors, the Apprentices Act, 1961 was enacted

with the following main objectives: -

(I) To regulate the programme of training of apprentices in the industry so as to

conform to the prescribed syllabi, period of training etc., as laid down by the

Central Apprenticeship Council; and

(II) To utilise fully the facilities available in industry for imparting practical training

with a view to meet the requirements of skilled manpower for industry.

EVOLUTION OF APPRENTICESHIP SCHEME

The National Apprenticeship Scheme was launched in 1959, initially on voluntary basis.

The Apprentices Act 1961 came into force on March 1, 1962. In the beginning, the Act envisaged

training of trade apprentices. The training of Graduates and Diploma Holders in Engineering and

Technology as Graduate and Technician Apprentices was brought within the purview of the Act

through an amendment in 1973. The Apprentices Act was, further, amended in 1986 to bring

within its purview the training of students passing out of the (10+2) vocational stream as

Technician (Vocational) Apprentices. The Apprentices Act was again amended in 1997 to amend

various sections of the Act as regard definition of ‘establishment’ and ‘worker’ termination of

apprenticeship contract, trainees in designated trade, practical and basic training, obligation and

penalty on employees etc.

COVERAGE

The Apprentices Act makes it obligatory on the part of employers both in public and

private sector industries to engage trade apprentices according to the ratio of apprentices to

workers other than unskilled workers in designated trades prescribed under the Rules. In order to

locate facilities for apprenticeship training, the training places are identified on the basis of the

findings of surveys conducted in the industrial establishments. The duration of training for trade

apprentices varies from six months to four years depending upon the requirements of the specified

trade. The syllabi for different trades are prepared and finalized by the respective Trade

Committees comprising trade experts from industry. The engagement of apprentices is done

1

throughout the year. Trade Test for apprentices is also held twice a year. It covers employers

both in Public & Private Sector establishments having requisite training infrastructure as laid

down in the Act to engage apprentices. 26998 establishments engage trade apprentices. 254

groups of industries are covered under the Apprentices Act.

MONITORING MECHANISM

The responsibility for implementing the Apprentices Act, 1961 in respect of Trade

Apprentices in Central Government Undertakings and Departments rests with the Central

Apprenticeship Adviser/Director of Apprenticeship Training in the DGE&T, Ministry of Labour

and Employment with the assistance of six Regional Directorates of Apprenticeship

Training (RDATs) at Chennai, Faridabad, Hyderabad, Kanpur, Kolkata and Mumbai. State

Apprenticeship Advisers (SAAs) are responsible for implementation of the Act in respect of

Trade Apprentices in State Govt. Undertakings/Departments and Private Establishments. The

training programme for Graduate Engineers, Diploma Holders and Technician (Vocational)

apprentices is controlled by four Regional Board of Apprenticeship Training (BOATs), which are

autonomous bodies under the Department of Secondary & Higher Education, Ministry of Human

Resource Development.

CENTRAL APPRENTICESHIP COUNCIL

Central Apprenticeship Council is an apex statutory body to advise the Government on

laying down of policies and prescribing norms and standards in respect of Apprenticeship

Training Scheme (ATS). It is tripartite by constitution with members from Governments both

Central and State/UTs., Employers & Trade Unions.

TESTING & CERTIFICATION OF TRADE APPRENTICES

All India Trade Tests (AITTs) for trade apprentices are conducted by National Council of

Vocational Training (NCVT) twice a year i.e. in April/May and October/November. National

Apprenticeship Certificates (NACs) are awarded to candidates by NCVT who pass the AITT.

NACs are recognized for employment under Government, Semi-Government

Departments/Organisations.

Government.

Note: - Rates of stipend are revised every two years based on Consumer Price Index.

SKILL COMPETITION OF TRADE APPRENTICES

With a view to fostering healthy competition among apprentices as well as establishments,

skill competition is organized at local, regional & All India levels.

Skill competition is held for 15 trades namely; Fitter, Machinist, Turner, Welder (Gas &

Electric), Electrician, Mechanic (Motor Vehicle), Tool & Die Maker (Die & Moulds), Tool and

Die Maker (Press Tool, Jigs & Fixture), Instrument Mechanic, Draughtsman (Mechanical),

Mechanic Machine Tool Maintenance, Wireman, Mechanic (Diesel), Refrigeration & Air-

Conditioning Mechanic and Electronics Mechanic.

MAJOR ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN DURING 2011-12

As recommended by the Task-Force constituted by the Planning Commission on Re-

modeling India’s Apprenticeship Regime and to widen the scope of the Scheme, some

amendments were proposed and action was initiated on these recommendations:

• Implementation of apprenticeship training scheme in those organizations which are

operating business/trade in more than four States, will rest with Central Government.

• Penal provisions, especially those relating to imprisonment may be reviewed

appropriately. Employers who are ‘proven’ willful defaulters of serious violations be

subject to imprisonment. Penalty should be made in case of minor violation.

• Change in the definition of “Worker” under the Act.

• Preference would be given to the apprentice in the employment who has completed

the period of his apprenticeship training in his establishment or industry when job

opportunities open up in that particular industry or firm.

As recommended by the Central Apprenticeship Council, in its 33rd

Meeting held on

29.04.2010, the rates of cash awards given to the Best and Runners-up Apprentices in the

Regional and All-India Skill Competitions, were enhances as:

S. No. Category Previous rates Enhanced rates

A. Regional Level Skill Competition:

I. Best Apprentice in each trade in each region Rs. 2,000/- Rs. 10,000/-

II. Runner-up Apprentice in each trade in each

region

Rs. 1,000/- Rs. 5,000/-

B. All-India Skill Competition:

I. Best Apprentice in each trade Rs. 10,000/- Rs. 50,000/-

II. Runner-up Apprentice in each trade Rs. 5,000/- Rs. 25,000/-

RESPONSE POSITION

Statistics on trade apprentices are collected through Regional Directors of Apprenticeship

Training and State Apprenticeship Advisers of various States/ UTs through returns through half

yearly returns ATS 1 to ATS-3. The data presented in this publication relates to the period as on

31st December, 2011. The response rate was of the order of 63% in case of Central Sector and

61% in case of State/Private Sector.

PARTICIPATION OF SC/STs IN THE APPRENTICEHSIP TRAINING SCHEME

Participation of SC/STs in the Trade Apprenticeship Programme is analyzed on the basis

of ratio incorporated in the Apprentices Act, 1961. Annexure-X reveals that the participation

ratio of SC trainees was higher side in respect of Tripura (1:4), Chandigarh(1:5), Punjab and

12

Delhi (1:5), Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh(1:7), Maharashtra and Rajasthan

(1:8), Kerala (1.9) and Daman & Diu (1:12) over the ratio incorporated in the Apprentices Act

1961. The participation ratio was satisfactory in case of Haryana and Odisha.

Further the participation ratio of ST trainees was satisfactory in Arunachal Pradesh and

Dadra & Nagar Haveli (1:1), Gujarat (1:7), Haryana (1.11), Daman & Diu (1:14) and Andhra

Pradesh (1:16). The participation ratio in rest of the States/UTs was not as per expectations. The

implementing agencies need to make more effort to increase participation of SC/ST trainees in the

scheme as per Apprentices Act, 1961. This entails them to come forward with incessant efforts

to achieve goals.

EMPLOYMENT & UNEMPLOYMENT OF APPRENTICESHIP TRAINEES

As on 31st December 2011, there were about 1.87 lakh Non-NTC holder apprentices job -

seekers on the live register of the Employment Exchanges as compared to 1.85 lakh as on

31.12.2009. Similarly, NTC holders Live Register (LR) comprised of 13.16 lakh as on

31.12.2011 as compared to 14.01 lakh as on 31.12.2009. State-wise distribution is given in

Annexure-XI. It can be observed, therefrom, that maximum concentration of the job-seekers

in respect of NTC holder was in Tamil Nadu followed by Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Kerala,

Maharashtra, etc. The placement made through the Employment Exchanges was 2,232 for Non

NTC holders and 13,170 for NTC holders during 2011. It is worth to mention that all the job-

seekers on the live register may not necessarily be unemployed. As per the survey on the Activity

Status of Job-Seekers registered with the Employment Exchanges carried out in 1988, about

38.7% of the National Apprenticeship Certificate holders were employed but continued to be on

the roll of the Employment Exchanges for better/regular employment in the organized sector.

Taking this above fact into consideration, the actual unemployment amongst NTC holder was

about 8.07 lakh as on 31st December 2011.

PLACEMENT OF APPRENTICES WITH TRAINING EMPLOYERS

4675 apprentices have been reported to be placed with the same employers where they

took the training as per the 15 responded States/UTs out of 34 (Annexure-VIII). The maximum

number of 1264 in Gujarat, 865 in Maharashtra, 602 in Tamil Nadu, 594 in Haryana, 371 in
