Guidelines for Project Implementing Agencies (PIAs) for Operation, Control & Management
of their Training Centres being used for MANAS Programme
During the implementation of Entrepreneurship & Skill Development Programmes (E&SDPs)
by MANAS, it is observed that PIAs are adopting various models in the field, wherein
trainings are organized through the following four models:i. Type – I - Through centres owned and run by the PIAs,
ii. Type – II - Through centres in rented premises, but run by the PIA,
iii. Type – III - Through entering into franchisee arrangements with local centres, where local
centres are affiliated/recognized as PIA, as its training centre with a revenue sharing
model.
iv. Type – IV - Through fully outsourced arrangement with local centres – where PIA has no
training facility of its own.
2.
It is a well-established fact that to ensure quality training programme best suited models
are models I & II through the centres run directly by the PIA itself. The model-III where the centre
is based on franchising of the training centre could also be considered in the eventuality where it is
not feasible for the PIAs to operate centres by themselves directly. However, under the MANAS
programme the model type–IV, “through the fully outsourced arrangement with local centres” is
highly discouraged.
3.
It is therefore expected that the PIAs would furnish the proposals of organizing such E&SDP
exclusively through the centres (Model – I / II) run by them directly to impart the E&SDP in the
most efficient manner, to ensure quality skills training. The outsourcing model (Model – IV) could
be considered only as an exception, with the prior written approval of MANAS, in specific cases,
duly justifying the reasons, such as better chance of success of the training programme, support
from local community to minimize dropouts, effective mobilization, prohibitive investment in
terms of setting up new centre etc.
4.
Thus, in order to define the nature of arrangement by the PIAs with the filed centres for
implementation of the MANAS programme, the basic conditions / documentation required to be
fulfilled by the PIA have been prescribed. The general terms & conditions for the respective models
are as given below.
i. Organizing E&SDP through own Centre of PIA – Model - I
a. The PIA should furnish the self-certified copy of the documents establishing ownership of
the premises and ownership of training equipments / office infrastructure etc. of the
training centre where the E&SDP is proposed to be organized.
b. The details of infrastructure available for the training and the reference norms to which it is
in conformity. In case the entity is affiliated with SSC / NCVT / NSQF or leading industry
