On lines of IAS, IPS and IRS, Govt. of India notified Indian Skill Development Services, UPSC to act as recruiting body
The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) has issued a
notification to set up the Indian Skill Development Services (ISDS) for its
Training Directorate. With ISDS, the skill ecosystem is expected to get
strengthened and modernized in line with the current scientific and industrial
development.
ISDS will have 263 all-India posts. The cadre will have
three posts at the senior administrative grade, 28 at the junior administrative
grade, 120 posts at the senior time scale and 112 posts at the junior time
scale. The institution training the cadre will be the National Institute of
Skill Development.
What is the ISDS?
The ISDS is believed to have been created on the lines of the Indian
Administrative Services (IAS) and the Indian Police Services (IPS), except that
it is looking primarily at engineers who will aid in skill development in
various fields.
According to the MSDE: "The purpose of instituting a
formal service in Group A category was initiated almost two years back when the
ministry was formed and the Union Cabinet approved its creation on October 7,
2015. With notification of this service the skill ecosystem is expected to get
strengthened and modernized in line with the current scientific and industrial
development in the country."
How will it be populated?
The ranks of the ISDS – a Group A service – will be filled "through the
Indian Engineering Service Examination conducted by UPSC (Union Public Service
Commission)." The MSDE statement explains: "The knowledge acquired by the
engineers recruited will give new impetus to the initiative of the government to
the skill development and also efficient and effective implementation of the
schemes."
The Training Directorate – for which the ISDS has been created
– is "involved in implementation of various schemes like the Craftsmen Training
Scheme covering 126 trades, Apprenticeship Training Scheme covering 259 trades
and Skill Development Initiative Scheme for the Modular Employable Skill
covering 578 modules," according to the MSDE statement.
The directorate
also "conducts examinations and awards certificates under National Council of
Vocational Training." It also organizes "advance skill training, supervisory
training and staff training through its various field institutes spread across
country."
