Government will impart skill development to 1,500 people in every coastal district of India

Skill Development in the port and maritime sector is an opportunity to improve the country’s coastal areas and being the leading supplier of skilled youth in the sector globally, the Shipping Ministry under the Sagarmala programme, will impart skill development to 1,500 people in every coastal district of the country in three years.


Training of 500 students, per-year-per-district has been undertaken by the Ministry for the next three years through Sagarmala.


The Ministry has completed skill gap studies of 21 coastal districts in eight states and three Union Territories (Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Odisha, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Puducherry, Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep) and currently its implementation is underway. Project approvals for Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal have been done. For the first phase, training has commenced for 2028 students, 1917 have been trained and 1128 have been placed. 92 students are under training in Odisha.


Additionally, under the Ministry of Shipping’s flagship Sagarmala Programme a world class Center of Excellence in Maritime and Ship Building (CEMS) is being set up in partnership with Siemens and Indian Register of Shipping (IRS) at a cost of INR 766 crore. It will have campuses at Vishakhapatnam and Mumbai and will train 10,512 students per year.


The CEMS aims to become an international nodal Centre in South Asia, attracting students from neighboring countries like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia for skill development in the Port and Maritime sector. Partial operationalization of CEMS is expected to start by end of June 2018 and complete operationalization is expected by September 2018.

Success Story: Dharmendra Kumar Das, Barabaghi, Jharkhand

Dharmendra Kumar Das belongs to a village called Barabaghi which is in Chatra district of Jharkhand. His family comprises 8 members. His father is a farmer and his total household income is INR 40000 per annum. Dharmendra is the eldest child of his parents. He was made aware of the “DDU-GKY- Roshni” programme by the mobilization team that had visited his home. He joined Quess because of his keen interest in hospitality. He was convinced that the program will be beneficial for his career and chose hospitality as his trade.


In his own words: Dharmendra says,” It was a new experience for me. I learned immensely by participating in different activities. This program has helped me understand myself better. I have developed knowledge about the sector. Now I have an understanding of how to deal with different customers.


After completing my training, I was offered a job in BROWN HOUSE BAKING PVT LTD, BANGALORE as a steward in L1 with a salary of INR 8000. I have been working here for the past 18 months and have been promoted to L2. My salary has been increased to INR 13000. I am very happy with the changes that the programme has brought to my life."
