Vision
The MPSDP aims at establishing Global Skill Park (GSP). The GSP will
have training and other facilities that meet international standards. The
GSP campus is designed to be "aspirational" for the youth of Madhya
Pradesh. It will help to change the image of technical and vocational
education and training (TVET) and encourage young people to get
technical skills for higher-paying jobs.
The project will also expand the reach of advanced training in 10 ITIs and
the GSP. This will especially benefit women, socially disadvantaged
groups, and physically challenged youth. The project will help to improve
their employment opportunities. Some of the activities that will be
undertaken through the project include building women's hostels, creating
barrier-free designs, providing extensive mobilization, offering career
counselling, and providing placement services.
Rationale
Madhya Pradesh is a large state in central India with a population of 78 million
people. It is a relatively poor state, with income per person at about 70% of the
national average.
In recent years, Madhya Pradesh has experienced strong economic growth,
averaging more than 8% per year. This growth has been driven by the
agriculture sector, which has grown at nearly 10% per year. The industry and
service sectors have also grown steadily.
Madhya Pradesh is part of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor, and it is home
to a number of industrial growth centers. The state's industrial promotion
policies have attracted large investments in manufacturing, such as automotive
and auto components, electronics, and food processing.
In order to sustain its economic growth, Madhya Pradesh needs a well-trained
workforce. However, the state faces challenges in meeting the demand for
skilled workers.
The demand for skilled workers in Madhya Pradesh is expected to increase by
5.6 million by 2024. Most of the new jobs will be for semi-skilled or skilled
workers. The highest demand will be in the construction and manufacturing
sectors, followed by trades and repair services, transportation and logistics, and
other services.
However, more than half of the current workforce in Madhya Pradesh is in
agriculture. Only 22% are in industry and 23% are in services. The current
workforce is largely unskilled, with two-thirds having only primary education.
Only 1.2% of the workforce has undergone any formal vocational training. This
is much lower than the national average of 5.4%.
Madhya Pradesh has one of the youngest populations in the country, as well as a
large population. The working-age population (aged 15-59) will expand from 48
million in 2016 to 56 million in 2026, with 0.8 million potential new entrants
into the labour force every year.
Therefore, the skills of the current labour force are not enough to meet the needs
of the growing industries in Madhya Pradesh. Thus the demand for well-trained
workforce arises.
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has approved the Government of Madhya
Pradesh a $150 million loan to help the state improve and modernize its
technical and vocational education and training (TVET) schools. The project
will cost a total of $240 million, with the state contributing $90 million.
The ADB's involvement in the MPSDP is a demonstration of its commitment to
supporting skills development in Asia and the Pacific. The ADB believes that
skills development is essential for economic growth and poverty reduction. The
MPSDP is a flagship project that is expected to have a significant impact on the
skills development landscape in Madhya Pradesh.
1) To merge and modernize Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) at the
divisional level into large divisional ITIs. The project will merge 19 ITIs
into 10 divisional level ITIs. These ITIs will not only be centres of high-
quality industry-relevant training, but they will also serve as resource
centres for other ITIs in neighbouring districts.
