3. Three flagship schemes are

4. Craftsmen Training Scheme (CTS)

5. Apprenticeship Training Scheme (ATS)

8. THE CHALLENGE Present instructor training capacity of 1600 per annum is considered too inadequate. As of now there is huge gap between instructor training capacity and requirement of trained instructors. It is foreseeable that in near future ambitious projects of DGE&T may suffer due to dearth of trained instructors/trainers. DGE&T is focusing its attention to train instructors in large numbers.

9. TARGET National Policy on Skill Development has set a target of skilling 500 million people by 2022 to meet the challenge of India @ 75. - Out of that share of MoL&E is 100 million. Table 

10. NEW PROJECTS New projects will push further the demand of trained instructors, viz. Establishment of 1500 new ITIs & 50,000 Skill Development Centres (SDCs) under Koushal Vikas Yojna; Modular Employable Skills (MES) under SDI scheme wherein target is to train one million persons in the first 5 years and thereafter one million persons each year; and Establishment of 2500 Govt. Vocational Education schools in Govt. sector and 2500 in PPP mode, and strengthening of about 2000 existing vocational schools by Ministry of HRD.

11. Qualitative Issues Trainers training is now viewed as a tier of qualification at the highest echelon of DGET/ NCVT which will reflect the core competence of DGET. The trainers training qualification would be accredited the highest level and accordingly other qualifications such as ATS, CTS, MES, etc would be stratified adopting a top down approach. Overlooking the quality issue in the pursuit of scale would be self deprecating. Considering this issue, the ToTs should be designed and created as a separate class of institute.
