Ministry invites proposal for Consultancy for Evaluation of Centrally Sponsored Schemes

The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) was set up in November, 2014 to fulfill the vision of Skill India and will be responsible for coordination with all concerned for evolving an appropriate skill development framework. Accordingly the National Policy on Skill Development and Entrepreneurship was notified on 15th July, 2015 superseding the policy of 2009 with the primary objective to meet the challenge of skilling at scale with speed, standard (quality) and sustainability. It aims to provide an umbrella framework to all skilling activities being carried out within the country, to align them to common standards and link skilling with demand centres.

The National Policy for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship has been structured as an outcome oriented policy. It is therefore desirable that there should be regular monitoring and evaluation of the initiatives to ensure that best practices can be scaled and corrective measures can be introduced. The main idea of having a robust monitoring and evaluation mechanism of the Schemes being implemented by MSDE and its attached organizations is to ensure successful implementation of the policy initiatives.
