Apparel Made-Ups Home Furnishing Sector Skill Council (AMH SSC) donated Rs. 51 lakhs from their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds to National Skill Development Fund (NSDF) to empower the youth of India with skill training. The cheque was presented by the Chairman of AMH SSC Shri Premal Udani to the Secretary of MSDE Shri Rajesh Aggarwal in the presence of many dignitaries.
CSR funds can also contribute towards scaling up skill development initiatives by financially supporting activities across the skill development value chain, capacity building and managerial support. It has been the single largest Sector Skill Council by securing maximum jobs for the youth of the country under the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana scheme of MSDE. Since its inception in December 2013, it has developed 45 Qualification Packs for the industry and has been able to certify nearly 12 lakh people in the apparel sector. One of the salient features is designing the training programmes based on the industry demands of different segments and ensuring that all successful trainees are certified through an accredited assessment agency.
The Chairman of AMHSSC Shri Premal Udani said, “We realise that industries have a crucial role in impelling lasting economic development of the country and investment by us in skilling the workforce makes a strong business case.”
