Executive Summary

This District Skill Development Plan is divided into four sections, which are further subdivided into sub-themes. The first category is called the As-is Scenario, which includes basic features such as topography, climate, population, and skilling infrastructure. In a nutshell, this section illustrates the District's current situation and depicts the supply side for skilling in the current period. The second category is called Aggregate Demand, which includes demands from all three sectors of the District economy. Demand has been drawn from all sectors, including the current employment situation and the expected increase over the next two years. It mainly focuses on industry, agriculture, and allied agriculture both within and outside the District. The third section is significant in terms of planning and analyses the gap. SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis has been used to describe the current potential and employment ecosystem and the empty spaces to focus on. Primary data such as Feedback and inputs from students, parents, employers, and training partners are discussed to gain ground. The last part is called the Action plan, which is the center of the planning and outcome of the whole exercise done before that. This section illustrates the objectives that the District wants to set and how it will be implemented, monitored, and reviewed. It covers vital businesses and its focused Processing that can provide sustainable livelihoods to the target population.

Introduction

There are many mythological descriptions about the great historical value of district Bahraich. It was famous as the capital of God Brahma, the creator of the universe. It was also known as part of the Gandharva forest. Even today, the northeast area of several hundred square km of the District is covered by the forest. It is said that Lord Brahma developed this forest-covered area as the place of worship for saints and sages. Therefore, this place was known as 'Brahmaich.' According to some historians, this place was the ''Bhar '' dynasty's capital in the middle age. Therefore, it was called the Bahraich.

DISTRICT SKILL COMMITTEE Page 3

The Economy of is mainly agricultural. The principal crops of the Region are wheat, rice, sugarcane, pulse, and mustard. Sericulture is another occupation of the people of the Region. Bahraich is not industrially developed. Most of the industries in this Region are based on agricultural and forest products. Bahraich is one of the 21 districts of with minority concentration and is considered backward. The area of the District is 5237 sq.km, and the population stands at 3,487,731. Bahraich district is one of the aspirational districts in Uttar Pradesh state, and district headquarters is in Bahraich city. It is a part of the Devipatan division and one of the 34 districts in Uttar Pradesh currently receiving funding from the Backward Regions Grant Fund (BRGF).

Section 1:AS-is Scenario

Topography: Rivers have played a significant role in the development of Bahraich. is the main river flowing through the District, formed from the combined waters of the Kauriala, Saryu, and Chauka and other rivers that drain the sub-mountain tract to the west. It enters the District in the extreme west and flows along the southern borders. It rolls from one side to the other within its wide bed, changing its course almost every year. The land along the river banks gets eroded during the rains, and for this reason, the District's area is liable to annual variations. Saryu is the second most important river, rising in the District and joining the Ghaghara in Bahraich. The Kuwano River flows along the northern border, with the Bisuha, a small stream of a similar character. The soils of the District are composed of the fluvial deposits of these rivers. The entire District falling in the sai sub-basin of Bahraich represents flat topography. Several vital lakes in the District include the Banki, Kodar, Aranga, and Parwati & Pathri.

Climate: It has an average elevation of 126 meters (413 feet). Bahraich has a warm, humid subtropical climate with hot summers from April to July. The rainy season is from July to mid- September, when Bahraich gets an average rainfall from the south-west monsoon winds, and occasionally frontal rainfall will occur in January.

DISTRICT SKILL COMMITTEE Page 6

Economic and Industrial Profile:

Agriculture and allied activities - About two-third of the Region has been under the plow, and around 82.0 percent of primary workers rely upon agriculture. Significant yields of the Region are wheat, paddy, and maize as cereals, Masoor among pulses and sugarcane, and potato as business crops. Bahraich is notable for Masoor pulses, Parwal, and Tomatoes, which are being traded inside the Territory of Uttar Pradesh and different parts of the nation. Cultivators can be taught to expand their exercises at every possible opportunity. Dairying, Mushroom development, Poultry cultivating, Ginger and Parwal, Masoor pulses can be advanced in different blocks of the District. Bahraich is likewise climatically appropriate for sericulture advancement. The forest wealth - Bahraich district has about 14.0 percent area under forests, just double to State average. Therefore, it is desirable to take up commercial forestry seriously by growing more seesam, khairs, popular, eucalyptus, bamboo, and jatropha, so that plywood; Katha, furniture, and other forest-based industries can be developed through these species. In the Tarai area of tehsil Nanpara and Bahraich, there is a scope to develop forest-based industries like timber and wood products. Kattha, Dona, and Pattal, Beekeeping, etc. Dairy development - The Bahraich region has sizable milch steers. In this way, there is a need to have milk processing units, create chilling plants, organize markets available to be purchased, acquire good breed animals, ensure the regular supply of good quality of animal feed, and increase good veterinary services. Goats, sheep, and pigs rearing - Among SC/ST populace, raising of sheep, goats and pigs are commonly well known. This movement has been taken up on sound business lines in the last two years. Goat farming and backyard poultry have significantly increased farmer’s income. Fisheries - As there are various lakes, supplies, and streams, Pisciculture can be created. To give a legitimate driving force to create Pisciculture, there is a need to set up cold storage facilities, plants delivering fish feed, and mandi to market fish. The Non-Farm Area - There are six sugar plants in the locale producing massive bagasse and molasses. Bagasse can be used in the assembling of paper and square board. Liquor and spirit can be produced using molasses.

Primary The total contribution of the Primary sector in district GDP is 6174.59 Crore Sector Rupees in the Year 2018-19. The contribution is further divided into specific areas like Agriculture has 3476.39 Crores, Animal Husbandry has 1230.06 Crores, Forestry has 1038.91, Fisheries and Aquaculture has 332.91 Crores, and Mining has 96.32 Crore Rupees.

DISTRICT SKILL COMMITTEE Page 7

Secondary In the year 2018-19, the secondary sector has contributed 2163.25 Crores in Sector District GDP. It is further divided into the industry (606.89 Crores), Electricity, Gas, Water supply, and other services (77.63 Crores) and Construction (298.99 Crores). Service The tertiary sector has contributed 7552.52 Crores in GDP in the year 2018- Sector 19.

At present, there is no unit of manufacturing milk products in the District. There is immense potential for such units. Vegetables like Parwal and tomato and pulses like Masoor and pea have potential in the District because they are already being sold in another country. These crops offer opportunities for setting up food processing units. There is excellent scope to develop plywood factories, furniture industry, and handicraft items like wooden toys, showpieces, souvenirs, and other utility articles among forest- based industries. The District's irregular power supply provides scope for manufacturing, supply, and repairing of batteries, inverters, solar cell assemblies, etc. As the level of literacy in the Bahraich district is very low. Facilities for higher and technical education are also inadequate. Thus, there is an excellent prospect for new schools, colleges, and institutions for technical education, vocational training, and coaching centers.

The District lags concerning medical facilities compared with the prescribed norms laid down to establish Public Health Care and Child Health Care centers. Therefore, there is potential for setting up facilities for medical, nursing, and healthcare services.

Section 3: Gap Analysis

Critical Gaps – Primary, Secondary, Tertiary Number Trained in the Sector

High Low

The primary sector is a significant field of intervention where cash crops like Lemongrass, Mushroom, Broccoli, and strawberry could be promoted, taking note of the climate and topography of Bahraich. Multilayer farming and beekeeping can also be introduced.

Training based on Agriculture sectors like From the Secondary sector, Banana, Beekeeping, sugarcane, and agro Training is being done as per the High Demand Processing demand of the Economy, and a in little focus can be paid on Economy Construction related trades. for The trades like Electrician, Plumber, and people in Welder are of the high demand from both the sector the Secondary and Tertiary sectors. In the tertiary sector, trades like Marketing of Agriculture products,

Repair and Maintenance of agricultural implements, Healthcare, painter, Mobile Repairing, Production of Organic Fruits and Vegetables, D T P, and Screen Printing are not being addressed as per the demand.

Low Retail, ICT, and Electrical from the analysis above, we can say that these Wheat stalk handicrafts- because of trades have over the allocation of targets Low demand for the final product

Key Recommendations Promotion of skill development in the Service sector: Private activity in the service sector can be nurtured to provide local Employment to youth at a livable wage. Construction, trade and tourism, hospitality, retail, and logistics can absorb local youth in significant numbers and provide jobs suited to the needs of youth Skill development programs can focus on such sectors, based on consultations with local players and training service providers. Training of trainers: The Training Service Providers should have adequate qualified trainers and upskilling Training to the trainers about the current industry and technology. There is a need to act professional development intervention for the trainers. A certifying or licensing mechanism should be introduced to ensure that they are adequately updated on the market expertise regularly. Soft-skills and Employability Skills to be prioritized: Across all sectors, employers have identified the lack of interpersonal skills and communication skills among the youth Businesses in the IT-ITES and tourism sectors highlighted the particular lack of skills in spoken English. Appropriate skills program, including soft skills, communication skills, and spoken English skills, need be provided at school/diploma/graduation levels. Target Allocation Policy: For the continuation of the training center, it is necessary to allocate targets.

Provision of transportation facilities for the female trainees to and from the institutes

Provision of flexible timings of Training for female candidates Mobilization of female candidates by a visit to rural areas, villages, and towns.

Mobile training centers, which run for 3 – 6 hours a day, should be introduced.

Timeline:

DSC is looking forward to successfully implement all the initiatives in the next 12 months with the first action already being initiated for counseling of students and industry collaboration.

Resource Requirement and Responsibility

For decentralized implementation and to ensure effective coordination and monitoring of skill development initiatives, Uttar Pradesh has a three-tier system. VESD (Department of Vocational Education & Skill Development) at the state level for policymaking. SSDM (UPSDM) for execution and monitoring of skill training programs. District offices(DPMU) of UPSDM in all districts of State with field officials and District Coordinator.

The above structure, as of now, is sufficient to carry out skill development activities in the District. Additional Initiative

Credit Linkage: Awareness among the trainees about the credit linkage facilities is important. Connecting them to the various bank officials may initiate suitable steps to internalize the trainees to credit linkage projects and organize exclusive short duration programs for them. In addition, suitable awareness/sensitization programs may be conducted for SHG groups in entrepreneurship with the available credit linkage programs. Having regard to the potential of the SHGs, banks may have to closely monitor the progress regularly at various levels. It is also proposed to invite the bankers as a Resource Person in a session during the training program. The Lead District Manager will be a member of the Core Skill Development Team(DSC) in the District.

DISTRICT SKILL COMMITTEE Page 26

Monitoring and Evaluation

Frequent Surprise inspections should be conducted to training centers to ensure proper execution of the program. Assessments may be delegated to the officials of the state/ central government located in the District. Monitoring after placement of the skilled persons to ensure the effectiveness of the skill training provided. Conducting Periodical Exclusive awareness and assistance programs about existing loans and schemes for entrepreneurship. Getting continuous guidance from experts in a particular field. Systematic identification and updation about the newer companies/industries established in the region and encouraging them to participate in the skill development initiatives. Utilize the already existing set up in the monitoring and evaluation process by coordinating with the professionals and experts available locally. Using of Rating and ranking system to the training providers to provide a level playing field. Utilizing the successful models identified in the process to strengthen the ongoing programs which are relatively weak.

Conclusion:

The Bahraich District Skill Development Plan will go far intending to the financial issues of the individuals living in the District by empowering them through skill building, inspiration, and achieving an essential change in the District. As John F. Kennedy has appropriately stated, "Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country." Bahraich district is well furnished with its capability of human and natural resources to tap the enormous chances of making one's life significant. In such a manner, we have arranged a point by point investigation of the locally accessible possibilities. By 2023 the District will prepare the focused youth to confront their future with challenges and help them achieve comfortable and high living standards than now.
