Ministry
of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship has approved the proposal to set up
Indian Institute of Skills (IISs) in 3 locations viz. Kanpur, Mumbai and
Ahmedabad in the country.
The
basic functional design and orientation of existing skill training
institutions, which were established during 1960s, have remained substantively
the same and, in particular, lack modern training infrastructure and
methodology to impart skill training in collaboration with industry leaders.
For
this reason and to promote further growth of the Indian Skills sector overall,
new measures have been initiated by the Government of India to establish state
of the art training institutions called Indian Institutes of Skill (IISs) in
Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Kanpur on Not-for-profit Public Private Partnership
(N-PPP) basis.
The
government has taken adequate measures to enhance industry’s participation in
skill training so as to reduce the post placement dropout rate of trainees. A
scheme namely Dual System of Training (DST) with an objective to enable
industry to partner with ITIs for conducting training programmes in high
employability courses as per industry requirement has been launched from year
2016.
The
scheme is amalgamation of theoretical training imparted in ITIs and practical
training imparted in the industry premises. The course curriculum has been
redrafted as per DST framework. In the National Council on Vocational Training
(NCVT) sub-committee meeting dated 28th August 2018, a number of
recommendations have been made to further improve the scheme.

When
it comes to style icons, it doesn't get much more iconic then Audrey Hepburn.
Over the six decade since she first appeared on Hollywood screens, the star of
classic films including Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Funny Face has become
synonymous with chic sophistication.
Latique’s
Red Carpet collection is about celebrating Audrey’s style. The secret to her
look was that she made fashion and jewellery choices that were very classic and
simple. The look she put together is not quite as she made it seem. And above
all she stood for humanity, a real life hero.
