National Real Estate Development Council (Naredco) has signed an MoU with Construction Skill Development Council of India to promote certification of large unskilled workforce primarily in the organised sector.

This is being done as part of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship’s Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY).

“The foremost objective of this MoU is to incentivise industry players to associate themselves with the scheme and mandate the certification of their workforce across different areas of operation,” said Niranjan Hiranandani, National President, Naredco.

A CSDCI affiliated training partner, India Vision Realty Infrastructure Pvt Ltd has been appointed by Naredco to act as a facilitator for it to conduct assessment and certification.

In the first phase, a target of 25,000 candidates across various construction sites on a pan-India basis, for all roles has been allotted by CSDCI. Based on the outcome and speed of delivery in the first phase, Naredco will set another target of 25,000 after 80 per cent progress in the first phase, said a Naredco statement.
