Jaipur. With the vision of linking the youth to the Skills ecosystem and to help them get benefitted with the numerous employment and business opportunities, the Rajasthan Mission on Livelihoods (RMoL) was set up by Hon’ble Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Smt. Vasundhara Raje way back in 2004 which later took the form of Rajasthan Skill and Livelihoods Development Corporation(RSLDC) and has now grown by leaps and bounds .
Skilling became a buzzword amongst the industries, stakeholders and even the masses with the creation of the Department of Skills, Employment and Entrepreneurship(DSEE) after the amalgamation of RSLDC, ITI and Employment Wings into under one umbrella.
The SEE Department has included training in novice sectors such as Phad paintings , Purohitya Prashikshan, Heritage Mistri, Therapeutic Spa, Ornamental fisheries alongwith inclusion of trades for the marginalised sections, madarsa pass outs and drop outs , transgenders and ex army servicemen hence making room for industry specific courses and dropping out the conventional trades.
Recognising the fact that fostering acquisition of skills by youth would enhance their ability to make informed choices with regard to life and work and would empower them to gain access to changing labour markets , July 15th was designated as World Youth Skills Day by the United Nations.
