Scope of Work

• Functioning of JSS
  The Ministry provides financial assistance in the form of Grants in Aid to the JSSs (NGOs) for imparting Skill training for the select job roles. The Directorate of Jan Shikshan Sansthan (Which is a subordinate office of MSDE) monitors the implementation of the scheme by the JSSs. Jan Shikshan Sansthan (JSS) scheme is implemented through NGOs with 100% grants from the Government of India. Jan Shikshan Sansthans are registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860. The affairs of Jan Shikshan Sansthan are managed by the respective Board of Management approved by the Government of India.
  Each JSS has 7-10 staff on purely contract basis. The training is imparted through resource persons on an honorarium basis.
• Training requirement
  Each JSS comprises both teaching and non-teaching staff with the head of the center being the Director. Each member of the JSS contributes toward the functioning and running of the center along with the trainer. As majority of the JSS are in the backward areas non-teaching staff of the center has very little or no opportunity for availing training to upskill themselves. The pandemic has further necessitated the requirement for the training program. In this new world order, employees are wearing multiple hats at work. The organization needs to foster this culture of knowledge sharing and cross-functional skill set.
• Capacity Building of JSS
  Considering the above context there is a need to undertake capacity building of the staff associated with the Directorate of JSS and JSS (through partner NGO network) on
  • better management of JSS Centres (including branding);
  • communication skills;
  • awareness of various financial assistance schemes of Central and State Governments (including bank credit facilities);
  • market/ industry linkage etc.

Capacity building needs to be done for 1000 non-teaching staffs of JSS along with the center director and 10 staff of Directorate of Jan Shikshan Sansthan (DJSS).
