This project focused on conducting a baseline, on behalf of the National Skill Development Corporation for all states and UTs in India on the components (& subcomponents) of the State Incentive Grant Matrix. This entailed covering the overall skilling ecosystem including both National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) as well as National Skill Development Agency (NSDA) and State agencies, and the outcomes were measured through Results framework and Disbursement Linked Indicators (DLIs) agreed between MSDE and the World Bank and verification protocol to measure DLIs on a periodic basis.
We supported the finalisation of indicators, sub-components of DLIs and datasets from States in consultation with the MSDE and NSDC. We were also responsible for creation of data collection tools and validation protocols, site visits, capacity building and data collection workshops, compilation of the data as well as data analysis. The baseline was aimed at providing the status of indicators for every Disbursement Linked Indicator (DLI) of SANKALP for all states/UTs under components at different time points as mentioned above. In the subsequent years, the States’ progress is to be assessed based on the improvement made from the baseline.
