Skill India to upskill 75,000 workers in NDMC via RPL Programme

Leave a Comment / / Human Resource Community

In collaboration with the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC), the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), a knowledge partner of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), has launched a project to identify the prior skills of 75,000 people in the 18-45 age group and upskill them. Through Sector Skill Councils (SSCs) and the training companies they have appointed, this initiative for previous learning recognition (RPL) and upskilling will be implemented in three stages. There will be two methods of implementation: RPL through camps, which will focus on traditional and industrial clusters, and RPL at employers’ premises, which will work with businesses and employers to provide orientation and training on-site. In addition to having their technical skills improved, the trainees will learn about digital literacy and entrepreneurial potential. These trainees will also receive two years of accidental insurance during the programme. The trainees will receive certification through the project, making them more marketable in the volatile job market and able to actively participate in nation-building. The project will be implemented by NSDC and funded by NDMC and SANKALP (a World Bank Project under MSDE). Aiming to upskill 25,000 individuals in a variety of industries, including plumbing, electrical work, construction, pottery, and so forth, the first part of the programme has already started. PMKVY, the flagship programme of Skill India, has a component called prior learning assessment and recognition (PLAR). A person’s existing skill sets, knowledge, and experience acquired through formal, non-formal, or informal learning are evaluated through this procedure. The procedure aids in bringing the nation’s unregulated workforce’s competencies into line with the standardised National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF), which improves employment prospects and reduces the skill gap.

The government informed Parliament on Friday that the duration between the second and precaution dose of the COVID-19 vaccine for all beneficiaries 18 years of age and older has been changed from nine months to six months based on the recommendations made by the National Technical Advisory Group on Immunization (NTAGI). Minister of State for Health Bharati Pravin Pawar stated in a written response to a question in the Lok Sabha that as of August 1, a total of 9.07 crore (13%) precaution doses of the Covid vaccinations were administered against the due beneficiaries. According to the minister, the Center monitors the rate of Covid immunisation and has repeatedly advised the states and union territories to provide the eligible beneficiaries with precautionary doses. Through door-to-door mobilisation and vaccination activities, the “Har Ghar Dastak 2.0” campaign is being carried out nationwide with the goal of immunising all eligible beneficiaries with the second dosage and the precautionary dose. According to the “Covid Vaccination Amrit Mahotsava” initiative, the precaution dose would be given for free to all recipients 18 years of age and older at the government-run Covid vaccination centres (CVCs) six months after the second dose is administered, according to Pawar.

DU releases new admission process via common seat allocation system

Leave a Comment / / Education Community

In order to be considered for admission to Delhi University this year, applicants must prioritise their choices of institutions and programmes on a Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS). The admissions procedure, developed by a Standing Committee for admissions this year, was accepted by Delhi University’s Academic Council on Wednesday. The Common University Entrance Examination (CUET) scores will be used to determine admissions. There will be three stages to the admissions procedure. Aspirants must complete an application form in CSAS in the first step. They will choose their preferred courses and colleges in the second phase, and the third part will comprise seat distribution and final acceptance based on a merit list. The results of the class XII board exam will be used as a tie-breaker if two students with the same score are tied for a seat. If there is still a tie, the older candidate will be chosen. The CUET is being held for the first time for admission to Central universities. In the past, admittance was determined only by class XII grades. Since many colleges end up admitting more applicants than there are seats available since the university is required to admit all candidates who meet the cut-off, DU had been considering admission based on entrance exams for a long time. The whole application procedure will be carried out online. DU will start a Common Seat Allocation System, a centralised portal for undergraduate admissions to all DU colleges.

These students ought to have received at least a 60% and should have studied business or mathematics in class 12. They will be enrolled in the TechBee early career programme run by the international provider of IT services in India. In the cities of Bengaluru, Shivamogga, Hubballi, and Mysuru in the state of Karnataka, interviews are already being conducted for the position.

Those hired by HCL have the opportunity to enrol in an undergraduate programme at a prestigious university like BITS Pilani, Amity University, or SASTRA University. About five years ago, the TechBee initiative was started in an effort to find talented class 12 students, particularly those from tier 2 and tier 3 towns. The goal was to assist them in achieving financial independence. The course, which had an initial batch of 80 students back in 2017, is now so in-demand that over 4,000 students enrolled last year and almost 8,000 this year.

The senior medical officers from various CGHS offices and wellness centres will benefit from the training and orientation programme, which was developed by CGHS in partnership with the National Institute for Health and Family Welfare (NIHFW) and adheres to the Prime Minister’s mantra of “skill, reskill, and upskill.” Starting on August 1 and continuing through August 6, the thorough training will train 70 officers in two batches.

Apple employees are no longer compelled to wear masks at work

Leave a Comment / / Human Resource Community

According to reports, Apple has informed its staff that wearing masks to work is no longer mandatory. However, if they feel safe doing so, they are free to wear masks. The employees are free to choose in accordance with their level of comfort, the particular circumstances and conditions in their respective locations, and the health authorities’ criteria. At most of its sites, Apple has reportedly instructed staff to respect individual decisions to mask up or not, and to not engage in any form of discrimination against those who choose to do so. Coincidentally, the COVID-19 BA.5 variant is spreading quickly throughout the US. According to media sources, more than 1.75 lakh cases have already been reported. Based on the drop in infections and hospitalizations, Los Angeles County in California has formally decided to repeal the mask mandate. The County’s 10 million residents would have been required to wear masks indoors, according to earlier plans by its health authorities. In the meantime, a Texas court has upheld the governor’s ban on mask requirements in schools, Greg Abbott. Abbott’s executive order forbade any governmental organisations, including universities and other academic institutions, from enforcing mask regulations. There were numerous demonstrations against this restriction, nevertheless. The prohibition was also the subject of a lawsuit by a group of students who claimed Texas State had violated the American Rescue Plan Act, the Rehabilitation Act, and the Disabilities Act by imposing it and that doing so endangered the lives of the students. However, the court said there was insufficient evidence to support the claim that the mask restriction put them at danger of catching COVID-19.

Reliance Jio, owned by billionaire Mukesh Ambani, became the highest bidder for 5G spectrum on Monday, paying 88,078 crores to buy over half of the airwaves offered in the most recent auction. The Adani group paid 212 crores for 400 MHz, or less than 1% of all spectrum sold, according to Telecom Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. While Jio purchased spectrum across several bands, including the coveted 700 MHz band, which can provide 6-10 km of signal range and serves as a good foundation for fifth generation (5G) in all 22 circles in the country, Adani Group purchased spectrum in the 26 GHz band, which is not for public networks.
