Skill Card - Govt To Launch ‘Skill Card’ To Help Employers Verify Job Seeker Credentials -Wayline Consultants
"When you receive a skill certification it is in the form of a paper. You cannot carry that. So it will now be in the form of a card which you can carry in your pocket"
The skill card will contain a Quick Response (QR) code which upon scanning will inform the employer about the type of skills a person has or the course they have undergone and the certification awarded to them.
The skill card is expected to make the lives of trained professionals easier as they no longer need to carry around certificates since the card will be updated with all the information. It is also expected that over time the card will be converted into a smart card with an embedded chip. Additionally, although the card may initially be issued to people in select schemes it will eventually become the norm across all 21 ministries and departments as India aims to skill-train over 400 million people between now and 2022.
he United Kingdom has a similar system where construction workers can obtain a CSCS (construction skill certification scheme) card which is provided under a skills certification scheme. Most builders who employ them ask for this particular card as proof of the necessary qualifications for the job. In India, opinion is divided over the expected benefits of skill cards. Some suggest information like qualification and skills can be included in the individual’s Aadhaar number while other believe it could act as a tool for better employment.
Overall, however, a new skill card just adds to the various cards Indians already carry like driver’s license, PAN card, Voter’s ID card as well as debit and credit cards as we move towards a cashless economy

National Digital Literacy Mission (NDLM) & What to teach for NDLM
National Digital Literacy Mission (NDLM) has been initiated with the vision to empower at least one person per household with crucial digital literacy skills by 2020. This is expected to touch the lives of more than 250 million individuals over the next few years. NDLM is an effort to complement government’s vision to transform one from each household as digitally literate. The project aims at helping adults with low technological literacy develop the skills they need to interact in an increasingly digital world.
NASSCOM Foundation has developed the training material for NDLM with the vision to empower people from all backgrounds to understand and use digital devices. The training curriculum has hence been made very simplistic in order to deliver practice-oriented training on digital literacy.
The ‘Basics of Digital Literacy’ curriculum has been split in 7 modules. Each module has been translated into four major languages namely; English, Hindi, Telugu and Kannada with more coming soon. You may download the modules from the links below:

Volunteers from Cognizant Technologies and Online Tyari have helped translate the content in the local languages of India.
