Workshop’s Context and Objectives

Realizing the importance of providing jobs to this burgeoning population, the Government of India has set a monumental target of training 500 million skilled individuals by 2022. In this context, the private sector emerges as a significant stakeholder having the capacity to contribute to skills development processes not only through financial means, but also by providing first-hand knowledge on the skills that are demanded in the market, delivery of skills to rural and remote areas and by further disseminating good skills development practices. While it has been made evident that the role of private sector in skilling is crucial to human development and inclusive growth; it becomes necessary to document and promote community based skill development models in order to generate demand and share existing practices on a wider scale. This will not only make such innovative models become more visible and accessible, but also contribute towards promotion of skill development models and social and economic empowerment of disadvantaged communities and address poverty.In this context, the workshop entitled “Community Based Skill Development and Promotion of Inclusive Business Models” has been designed to orient and build capacities of the participants on community based skill development models and promotion of inclusive business models. Both, skill development and inclusive business models are gaining the attention of various country Govt.’, Private sector, civil society organizations alike, due to its pivotal role in empowerment of disadvantaged communities, especially their social and economic development, it helps in poverty eradication efforts too.   Therefore, providing the necessary knowledge base to participants is the need of the hour and recognized by Govt. and private sector too.

It has been used to expose corruption, fight injustice and for the delivery of basic public entitlements. The Indian RTI movement was a grassroots level movement that culminated in the RTI law. The law itself is acknowledged to be one of the best freedoms of information laws in the world. The workshop today will help students learn more about the history of the act and learn how to use it themselves.

CLIMATE CHANGE and ‘WE THE PEOPLE’

By

PAIRVI Team led by Ajay Jha

 

About the theme: The risks and hazards of Climate Change hinder or deny access to people’s needs- physical, social, survival or livelihood. Ecological shifts associated with climate change are both creating new and exacerbating problems such as disasters, floods, droughts, water scarcity, farmers’ suicide, pesticide laden food, post disaster trafficking etc. Now, there is no doubt that Climate change is really happening and impacting ‘we the people’. Along with the state actors and knowledge communities, the NGOs have been the particularly instrumental in servicing the need of national and sub-national climate policies.  At the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Over 1598 NGOs and 99 Inter Government Organizations (IGOs) are admitted as observers to attend sessions of the Conference of Parties (COP) and its subsidiary bodies. The NGOs represent a broad spectrum of interests, and embrace representatives from business and industry, environmental groups, farming and agriculture, indigenous populations, local governments and municipal authorities, research and academic institutes, labour unions, women and gender and youth groups. While all stakeholders are playing their role, what we can do? is a million dollar question. Our role becomes more crucial in view of Sustainable Development Goals.
