Mr. Anil Goel Excerpts from Chairman FFSC Chairman's Speech Dear Stakeholders, Many Congratulations on the 6th Anniversary of Skill India Mission and completion of 6 years of Furniture and Fittings Skill Council! Furniture Industry today is in the transformation stage and India can become a net exporter rather than the net importer of Furniture in the world. Skilling needs special importance since a growing industry needs a fresh pool of talent. Reskilling and upskilling the existing workforce are critical since consumer demand and furniture making is changing as conventional Furniture is migrating to modular Furniture. Skills which were attained in the past by the workforce are becoming non-existent. For instance, the traditional kitchen design skills are irrelevant in today's modern kitchen designs. Unless the workforce is reskilled, they will become unemployed over a period of time. The council understands this transition well and is working to skill, re-skill and upskill in terms of the industry's changing landscape and the emerging trends in the sector. In line with one of our key goals from last year, to create Awareness amongst Industry, FFSC has added 18 Industry Partners, 4 Academic Partners, and 4 Industry Association through its interactive initiatives. NCVET has now been formed as a regulator body for the skilling ecosystem and FFSC has submitted its application to be recognised as an Awarding Body. More than 17,500 candidates have certified this year under various schemes like PMKVY, State- Sponsored Schemes and MoSJE Projects. FFSC has certified 57 trainers and 31 assessors this year through the Training of the Trainers (ToT) and Training of the Assessors (ToA) programs. 22 Training Centres have been added in the Skill India Portal over the past one year for the Furniture and Fittings Sector. The enrolment of candidates in apprenticeship have crossed over 200 for the first time due to increased participation from the industry partners. With an intent to Skill-Reskill-Upskill 500000 aspirants by 2025-26, FFSC has prioritized development of 50+ job roles specific training programs over the next two years. I call my fellow industry partners to collaborate and contribute in building the much required skill ecosystem for our sector. I would like to extend my gratitude to each and every one for their incomparable valuable guidance and support in this exciting journey so far. Warm Regards Anil Goel 03

The renewed FFSC Governing Council structure and Organogram has brought more efficacy to our operations. Since August 2020, the new Governing Council and its executive members have been contributing actively via the Steering Committee & the 7 sub-committees in pursuit of our goal to build a robust skilling ecosystem. With the Board of Standards in place, the Industry's Occupational Map & Qualifications development plan for over 50+ Job roles was formalized. The NOS Group commenced its operations for Job-role based courseware development. Despite the COVID challenges, the RPL/STT training programs & workshops were conducted in a mix of online & offline mode for around 17500+ learners, under the banner of PMKVY, SANKALP, MOSJE, and others. In line with the 'Go-Digital' strategy, the work on development of an interactive website with Learning Management System & Skill Management Information System has commenced. Through Industry deliberations & vetting of the existing Training Infrastructure, a need for more structured & standardized model of Training Infrastructure was derived, and with the support of the Training & Assessment sub-committee, the Skill Pavilion & Skill Academy Models have been worked out. ;gh le; gS] lgh le; gS] Hkkjr dk vueksy le; gSA With the world looking at India for its manufacturing solutions, the Ministry of Commerce recognising our Industry as a Champion sector for making manufacturing hubs, a National Education Policy focusing on formalizing the Vocational Education, NCVET realigning the skill ecosystem, the Ministry of Education and MSDE being brought under a single point leadership, the stage is set right for making a Paradigm shift in India's skilling landscape.

SPECIAL PROJECT- TRAINING OF JAIL INMATES The Special Projects component of PMKVY envisages the creation of a platform that will facilitate trainings in special areas and/or premises of Government bodies, Corporates or Industry bodies, and trainings in special job roles not defined under the available Qualification Packs (QPs)/National Occupational Standards (NOSs). Special Projects are projects that require some deviation from the terms and conditions of Short-Term Training under PMKVY for any stakeholder. A proposing stakeholder can be either Government Institutions of Central and State Government(s)/Autonomous Body/Statutory Body or any other equivalent body or corporates who desire to provide training to candidates. Nowadays Jails are being treated as correctional home. Presently in many such homes concerned authorities are sincerely considering to better the situation of the inmates. Prison Authorities are also interested for livelihood training for the inmates which can bring significant changes in the life standard of the inmates and subsequently in rehabilitation process. Almost 5 lakh people are lodged in various jails of the country. Most of them are the bread earners of their family. Hence a huge number of people are directly affected. Most importantly there are many people who are serving long, are left abandoned by family, when released, have no place to go and have no money to do anything. The people, who are likely to be released within a year, will be supported in placement and self-employment on release. They will be supported by giving market connection and a fundamental tool kit. Plumbers, Electricians, Carpenters, are doing very well after release as they used to get regular critical exposure in jails after training. They have very good hands- on training which makes them extremely confident. The skill certificate works as a catalyst to market entry. Similarly, demand for the selected job roles in the market is high. Normally there remains a gap between expectation and offered salary for trainees who are trained outside as they are updated with local market's situation. But for the prisoner's due to long cut off from the outside world, any job is a good job. They desperately need something to settle with.
