Green Skill Development Programme (GSDP)

Green Skill Development Programme (GSDP) courses, as approved by National Council for Vocational education and Training (NCVET), Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) will be conducted by the Programme Centres. The modules for the GSDP courses will also be developed by them. The following aspects will be considered with regard to GSDP:

 Existing skill courses with insignificant job placement trend may be dropped after review and new skilling courses may be added keeping in view their market demand.

 Services of a consulting agency may be engaged to identify priority thematic courses having market demand and placement opportunities from prospective employers.

 The Programme would endeavor to include courses not only in traditional areas but also in new emerging areas like electric vehicles, hazardous waste/Bio-medical waste etc. considering their future scope/requirements/prospects.

 The new courses for GSDP will be designed in collaboration with the concerned Divisions of the Ministry. The location specific needs and placement of the candidates would be factored in designing of the course.

 The GSDP courses would be aligned with the norms and guidelines of NCVET, MSDE. A set of separate guidelines will be formulated for the same.
