Maintenance, Lessons and feedback
QUALITY ASSURANCE FRAMEWORK
• NIRD, NABARD has been assigned to monitor and evaluate the projects

• MIS based monitoring and evaluation of data, third party evaluation

• Incentives to training partners to achieve retention of people and their progression

• Inclusion and self regulation of the Q-teams within the PIAs

• PFMS is the channel for fund dispersal and audits

• Accountability and transparency is maintained

• Geo tagged biometric attendance recording and tracking

• CCTV recording of training in progress

LESSONS AND FEEDBACK
• Special Focus on J&K and NE regions, inclusive program design

• Proactive placement partnerships is a key positive factor

• Quality of training is under question due to the low placement rates

• In a survey conducted among 500 Bihar youths it was found 29% landed in non
farm job. Source: Live Mint

• After 6 months employment effect drops to zero

• One third of the placed graduates leave their due to caste-based discrimination
LESSONS AND FEEDBACK
• Another one third leave the job due to salary mismatch and living cost

• Training enhances job market prospects but other labour market factors
undo the effects

• Structural transformation should happen at the policy level ensuring

acceptance of minorities at workplace

• Minimum salary of 6000 should be revised considering inflation and also

cost of living in urban areas

• Can be extended to cover the balance states and UTs
