PREFACE

Mamit District require a mental transformation among the youth in the field of Skill Development as youth plays a crucial role in achieving economic prosperity of the country. There is a requirement of skilled workforce in and out of the district but insufficient skilled workers. As far as the economic progress of the district is concerned, Mamit district is still lagging behind due to various problems like poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, lack of skill training etc.

To identify the skill gap and skill training requirement, Skill Development Plan for Mamit District is laid out. This plan will help in upgrading skills to national standards through significant industry involvement and develop necessary frameworks for standards curriculum and quality assurance.

Carrying out a large-scale survey is always a challenge specially with the prevalence of COVID-19. However, this task was made easy by the support that we received from various stakeholders like Block Development Officer, Village Council Members etc. In addition, there are many persons or organisations who have contributed greatly towards the successful completion of this Plan. We convey our sincere thanks to all of them for their generous support and contribution.

Executive Summary:

Background: The vision of Mamit District Skill Development Plan is to identify youth who have the potential to develop their skills but lack opportunities due to poverty, unavailability of resources and irrelevant platforms. Youth are the backbone of the society and play vital role in NGOs and religious institutions. Whereas, running from responsibilities and moving out of their comfort zone is rarely practiced. The youth need accessibilities and work towards polishing their skills to suffice themselves.

Context for present study: Mamit Skill Development Plan focuses on reaching the unreached and provide facilities to bring out the best version of themselves. Most of the youth in the District lack training and are uncertified which hampers job placements. Employment rate is quite low as most of the youth are engaged in their own comfort zone and have no exposure. Due to low socio-economic status and inadequate infrastructure, the demands of the youth cannot be met within the District alone.

The present study: The study aims at identifying skill trade for self-employment in the three RD Block- , and West Phaileng assessing the overall labor supply and estimating the existing and emerging skill gaps. The survey found that skill trainings attended by male is higher than female. There is wide skill gap in the demand and supply especially in construction sector, electronics and hardware.

Methodology for study: Quantitative research methodology was used for collecting data where 40 villages out of 90 villages in the District were selected randomly for conduct of Gram Sabha for collecting -youth population, persons with disabilities, banking services, education qualification, livelihood-based population, job role provider, sector wise skill trainings in the District, sector –wise distribution of youth trained in the District, Village Council/Sub-Village without having skill training in the district. For the remaining 50 villages, members of the village councils were consulted for collecting primary data.

1.4 Education Profile

The status of schools in the district is presented in table. In 2001, 89 per cent of the villages of the district were having at least a primary school, which is almost the same as the figure for the State. Two of the Block (Reiek and West Phaileng) have more primary schools than the district aggregate and other tehsil Zawlnuam has a lower proportion of primary schools than the district aggregate. More than one-half of the villages have a middle school in the district, which is lower than the State aggregate of 58.3 per cent. More than three-fourths of the villages of Reiek and more than one-half of the villages of West Phaileng have a middle school, whereas in Zawlnuam, only 47 per cent of the villages have a middle school.

In terms of secondary schools, the district has 25 such educational institutions, but the tehsils of Reiek and West Zawlnuam have 7 and 8 secondary schools respectively. When we compare the data regarding the population served by such institutions in these two Blocks, a very dismal picture emerges as the population served by these secondary schools in West Phaileng is double the population served by the secondary schools in Reiek.

Literacy rate in the District

0, 0% The literacy rate in Mamit District is low comparing to the state literacy rate of 27,214, 45 91.58% with total literacy rate % 32,977, 55 of 84.93%, out of which male % literacy of 89.13% and female 80.35%.

2. FINDINGS OF SKILL DEVELOPMENT SURVEY IN MAMIT DISTRICT

Brief Outline:

DC Office, Mamit received fund under Sankalp from Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Department in 2020 to constitute and prepare District Skill Development Plan. 6(Six) nos. of enumerators were engaged for a period of 6 months to collect primary data from 90 village councils and to conduct Gram Sabha in 40 village councils with the following objectives:  To understand the socio-economic profile of the Mamit District.  To identify the skill gap and skill training demand among the youth.  To understand the source of skill training providers in the District.

Methodology:

40 villages in the District are randomly selected for conduct of Gram Sabha to collect primary data on skill training demands and the gap in skill development. House to house surveys are conducted whereby primary data are collected in these villages on their socio-economic status and through Gram Sabha skill gap analysis and skill demand data are collected. The remaining 50 villages are subsequently covered without conduct of Gram Sabha due to Covid19 pandemic restrictions / guidelines. However, the members of Village Councils are consulted in collecting primary data on socio-economic and the demand of skill training for their youth.

3. SKILL GAP ANALYSIS AND DEMAND-SIDE PROFILE:

According to NSDC Skill Gap study of North East and ICRA Management Consulting Services Limited (IMaCS) Analysis, Mizoram is estimated to have an incremental human resources demand of around 1.40 lakh persons between 2011 and 2021. Most of this demand will come from the construction sector, followed by horticulture and forest based industry. In addition, retirement of persons in the 50-60 year age group, may generate additional 10 per cent vacancies in the demand sectors, although not all of it may be available for employment. About 60 per cent of Mizoram‟s population is in the working age group and 35 per cent in 0-14 year group that would be joining the workforce in the next 10 years. In addition, the State has high literacy rate, of 92 per cent, 20 which is the third highest literacy rate in India, after and Lakshadweep. These factors, together, make available a huge pool of literate human resources, which can be tapped over the next few years.

3.3 Skill level wise human resource requirement in Mamit:

As per NSDC Skill gap Analysis, it project at least 5353 Construction workers, 1107 Engineers, Doctors, Arts & Science professional, etc. and 327 vocationally trained and 69 highly qualified and specialised personnel as Skill wise human resources for Mamit District.

3.4 Potential sectors in district Based on Sankalp 2020 survey, following sectors have been identified in the District for skilling or upgrading skills:

3.4.a Apparels, Made-ups & Home furnishing:

 Self-employed tailoring is the most demanded skill training of the youth.  It offers the youth of independent employment without incurring high investment.  The society observed numerous social gathering activities – wedding, church, cultural function, YMA functions, etc which provides opportunities for self- employed tailor in each villages/localities.  Hand Weaving (Puan tah) is also one of the prospects for self-employment at home for female as it is home-based industry.  Majority of the traditional dress are hand weaved are procured from other villages outside the District mostly from Aizawl &. Thus it provides high opportunities for self-reliance.  Mizo handloom and handicrafts have a market locally as well as in neighbouring states of , and . The handloom industry manufactures shawls, bags, ties, stoles etc, while the handicraft industry uses locally available raw materials like bamboo, cane and wood.  Home furnishing (wood carpentry) also provides the prospect for youth as local demand can be easily met from the abundant agro-forest produce available in the District.  Most of the home furniture – bench, bed, chair, table etc. are either imported from outside the District/ State.

22

3.4.b Agriculture Sector:  Poultry/piggery is one of the most demanded skills of the youth.  There is high consumption of piggery/ poultry by the population.  Majority of the poultry/piggery are imported from outside the District/State.  The rate per Kg (Kilogram) is also high to meet the recurring expenditure incurred by the farmers.

3.4.c Construction:  Mason – Cement, Timber, rock/boulder is another skill training demanded by the youth in the District.  The District is highly depended on migrant workers from outside the State for any construction works. Most construction workers are imported from other states, mainly, Assam (Silchar) and .  Mass training of youth in masonry will ensure self-reliance of the District/ villages in bridging the gap of skilled mason.  There is human resource requirement of masons, contractors, engineers, fitters, welders, blasters, daily labourers, etc.  Locals have high education levels and are not keen on entry level unskilled or semi-skilled jobs.

3.4.d Automotive:  Mechanic – Two/Three/ Four/Six wheels is among the demand of male youth as there is gap in the availability of certified mechanic in the District.  Most of the vehicles in the District are repair/ periodic service at Aizawl due to absence of certified mechanic.  There are many migrant mechanics from outside the District/State working in the District.

3.4.e Electronics & Hardware  Computer/ mobile servicing/repairing are still high in demand due to absence of certified technician in the District.

4.3 Resource Requirement:

 The District is still lacking in infrastructure and other basic services – road connectivity, internet connectivity, electricity, water supply etc. which required more intervention.  The District requires more training providers to meet the annual plan.  Functional ITI Centre at West Phaileng.  Lodging/Hostel for trainees and training building.  Liaison officer/staff to monitor, co-ordinate and supervise the training, service providers and the trainees.  Public- private partnership placement agency for placement of trained youth.

5 BUDGET FOR 5 YEARS

S/No Particulars Amount (Rs in lakh) Administrative Cost/ Monitoring As per PMKVY 3.0 (2% of CSCM & 1 Expenditure 6 % of outlay CSSM) As per PMKVY 3.0 (2% of 2 Awareness 3 % of outlay CSCM&CSSM) As per PMKVY 3.0 (1% of CSCM & 3 Post Training incentive 2% of outlay CSSM) 4 Short Term Training As per cost norms of PMKVY 3.0 5 RPL (Camps) As per cost norms of PMKVY 3.0 Additional support under PMKVY 6 Additional support 3.0

32

6 MONITORING AND EVALUATION (INCLUDING RESEARCH STUDIES):

 As per PMKVY 3.0, District Skill Committee (DLC on Mizoram Skill Development Mission) will make effort to monitor the performance and outcomes of the service providers in the District.  DSC will make sure that Skill Trainings (Job roles) are provided to the youth as per annual work plan on STT and RPL.  DSC will hold review on the number of youth trained on STT & RPL on quarterly and amend Annual Work Plan as and when required.  Since, ITI West Phaileng is under the Sub-Divisional Office of West Phaileng, Sub-Divisional Officer (Civil)/ Sub-Divisional Magistrate will regularly supervise and monitor the functioning of ITI and reported to Deputy Commissioner, Mamit.  DSC will also make periodic review on the placement of youth by the service providers.

Since, PMKVY 3.0 is based on demand driven approaches, Mamit Skill Development Plan will play a major role in the outcomes of youth trained in the District. Other than Sankalp 2020 survey, the District do not have any empirical research studies on the socio-economic conditions of the District.  Assessments of the aspiration of youth, quantitative employer survey, employment demand, economic status of women, skilling of Person with Disability (PwD), etc are still unknown. Therefore it is pertinent to have empirical research studies on the impact of District Skill Development Plan prepared by the District Administration on the youth and the other demand driven ethos of the youth for self- reliance and employment generation.  Home based small scale industry; Agro-based small scale farm and entrepreneurship are still the missing gap in the present studies which required further studies to understand the status of the District performances in the efforts of increasing the economic status and to uplift the socio-economic status of person living below poverty line.  The District further lack socio-economic status on per capita GDP, per capita household purchase power, gross district domestic product etc which required more information to better understand the state of the economy of the District which are essential for preparation of any Development Plan for the District.
