We are living in interesting times. We have the world's largest young population and yet employers are constantly searching for the "right talent". The same is true for all over the world. To add to it, most of the jobs from blue to white collar have undergone drastic transformation and technology infusion leading to bigger gap. HIMAYAT is essentially an 'urdu' word which means "Support", therefore HIMAYAT and its training partners are the bridge between you and the need of the hour. |

About Himayat

Himayat is a placement linked skill training programme for unemployed youth of Jammu and Kashmir and is being implemented by the Himayat Mission Management Unit, J&K State Rural Livelihoods Mission (JKSRLM), Govt of J&K. The Programme is an outcome of the recommendations of Dr. C. Rangarajan Committee report submitted to the Hon’ble Prime Minister on 24th February, 2011 which suggested a scheme of Skill Development for school/college dropouts.
Himayat – a Skill Development Programme for the youth is under implementation since 2011. The Report suggested increasing employability of youth by improving their skill-sets and providing support for placement and self-employment.
Youth will be provided free skill training for a duration of 3 to 12 months, in a range of skills for which there is good market demand. At the end of the training, the youth are assured of a job and there is one year post-placement tracking to see how they are faring.

Fund Flow Mechanism
|
|
As per the Guidelines of DDU-GKY, PIA's are paid in 4 instalments of 25% each of the total cost of the project sanctioned. DDU-GKY has empowered States/UTs who have built their capacities to plan, sanction and implement training projects as Action Plan States. In these states/UTs, the centre transfers the funds in 2 equal instalments of 50% each to the State Rural Livelihoods Mission (SRLM) or State Skill Mission (SSM), who in turn make the payment to the PIAs in the same instalment plan as above. In other States/UTs, where such capacity is still being developed, the National unit of the Ministry directly approves and sanctions projects and makes all payments in the above instalment plan. All processes of investment decisions, programme management and monitoring tasks are completed by Central Technical Support Agencies (CTSAs) on behalf of the Ministry of Rural Development. The CTSAs are independent entities with adequate resources and past experiences of managing large skilling projects in rural India. At present, National Institute of Rural Development & Panchayati Raj (NIRD & PR) and NABARD Consultancy (NABCONS) serve as our Central Technical Support Agencies. |
