CSIR-Human Resource Development Centre (HRDC) in Ghaziabad signs a collaborative MoU with ASCI, CGSSC, HSSC, and Life Sciences Sector Skill Development Council
The CSIR-Human Resource Development Centre (CSIR-HRDC) in Ghaziabad (UP) has signed a collaborative Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with M/s Agriculture Skill Council of India (ASCI), Capital Goods & Strategic Skill Council (CGSSC), Hydrocarbon Sector Skill Council (HSSC), and Life Sciences Sector Skill Development Council. The MoU aims to establish an enabling environment for CSIR and the Indian industry.
In 2016, CSIR started a national-level unique program called the "CSIR Integrated Skill Initiative" to provide young minds with the requisite technological skills through exposure to CSIR laboratories and to meet the vital demands for the technical gap caused by the widespread use of new technology.
Beneficiaries of this campaign include school dropouts, farmers, ITI certificate holders, graduates, and doctorates. Under this initiative, the CSIR has taught approximately 1.50 lakh people through 4500+ skill-based trainings, including specific programs for rural residents and women. This initiative covers the biological, chemical, engineering, information, and physical sciences of the CSIR's major scientific clusters.
The CSIR-Human Resource Development Centre (HRDC), Ghaziabad (UP), the CSIR's centralised training unit and the Nodal Office of the Skill Initiative, has played an important role in periodically examining, monitoring, and evaluating the Initiative's effectiveness.
To improve the performance of this initiative by enhancing employability and entrepreneurship opportunities for the Indian youth, CSIR-HRDC has signed the MoU with four Sector Skill Councils (SSCs) - ASCI, CGSSC, HSSC and LSSSDC.
On signing the MoU, both CSIR laboratories and SSCs are expected to exchange their expertise to strengthen the skill ecosystem by running joint-programs, availing each other’s services with the aim of enhancing employability and entrepreneurship opportunities for Indian youth and enabling them to enter the global market.
