NEW DELHI, Apr 19: Directorate General of Employment & Training(DGE&T) today announced that a web portal has been developed for the effective implementation of Skill Development Scheme(SDIS) to promote training of around 6 lakh people annually in India.
The portal has been developed by Hewlett Packard (HP) India.
DGE&T works closely with the State Governments and Vocational Training Providers (VTP) are engaged to provide professional training to unskilled and semi-skilled workforce in the country. The trained candidates are then assessed by empanelled Assessing Bodies (ABs) and certified ready for employment.
The earlier manual process of recording candidate’s information provided DGE&T with a limited visibility in respect of monitoring the training and assessment schedules and the number of candidates certified for employment. With large amounts of information spread across different cities and organisations, there was a need for a single platform to centralise the data.
In order to address this issue, DGE&T chose HP Enterprise Services to develop a web portal, a centralized system to manage the entire operations of SDI Scheme under DGE&T, and bring all the
regional offices, States, VTPs and ABs onto a single platform. As part of the agreement, HP will manage applications for the portal,
along with hardware at the data center in addition to maintenance and support through the entire duration of the project. HP will provide support for three years and has trained over 2000 users across 30 states and UTs of India to administer the SDIS portal.
The SDIS Web Portal would help the DGE&T in registering candidates, VTPs, and ABs. It also tracks the creation of training and assessment batches, publishing test results and dispersal of online certificates.
‘Government institutions like DGE&T need technology solutions that can support large number of users and provide timely information to various stakeholders as necessary, and in a transparent manner,’ said Marshal Correia, Vice-President & General Manager- HP Enterprise Services, HP India. ‘Developed to meet customer needs, HP Application Management services for the portal will help DGE&T to increase the pool of skilled manpower in the country.’
Mr Mallikrjun Kharge, Union Minister of Employment & Training, lauded HP and DGET while dedicating this portal to the nation. (UNI)_
