Program Status The Skill India Mission Operation (SIMO) is a Program for Results operation that supports the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) in scaling up and enhancing outcomes from flagship national short-term Skills Development (SD) programs. An associated Investment Project Financing instrument provides Technical Assistance (TA) to strengthen the newly established MSDE’s capacity in program management, M&E, and state-level capacity development. The operation was approved by the World Bank’s Board on June 23, 2017 and was declared effective on January 19, 2018. The World Bank team along with Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) completed the Second Implementation Support and Restructuring Mission on August 31, 2018 and the operation rating was downgraded to Moderately Unsatisfactory for progress towards achievement of Program Development Objectives and Implementation Progress. Substantial changes in the regulatory environment since effectiveness and slow progress on core implementation actions such as hiring an Independent Verification Agency (IVA) has resulted in the project not meeting agreed DLI Year 1 targets and no disbursements taking place almost a year after project effectiveness. Five out of six DLIs and verification protocols cannot be met as they are currently formulated, due to two fundamental changes in the regulatory and institutional environment in the past year: (i) a change in the role of the National Skills Development Agency (NSDA), which was earlier the nodal regulatory authority for skills training and has now been merged with an existing regulator body for vocational training and renamed the National Council for Vocational Education and Training (NCVET); and (ii) the proposed apex Labor Market Information System (LMIS) to be anchored by NSDA has been replaced by a Skills India Portal to be implemented by MSDE. The DLIs and verification protocols need to be amended to reflect these regulatory changes. In addition, based on the new Country Partnership Framework (CPF; FY 2018-22), there is a renewed focus on enhancing India’s federalism with enhanced state capabilities. Further to the CPF priorities and continuing discussions after effectiveness, there is the need to strengthen the role of the states in responding to skilling needs at the decentralized levels; and more specific interventions on inclusion of marginalized groups, particularly women, are needed to achieve the operation’s objectives in this regard. MSDE has made significant progress in a number of core implementation areas since the previous implementation mission. A Program Management Unit (PMU) is now in place; procurement of an Independent Verification Agency (IVA) is at an advanced stage; a Technical Agency has been hired to undertake State Incentive Grant (SIG) baseline scoring process; an apex management information system (MIS)IS system for skills training, the Skill India Portal, is under development; and a Global Skills Gap study to inform migration-related skilling interventions has been completed. . D. Proposed Changes . . Development Objectives/Results Program Development Objectives Original PDO 7 The objective of the Operation is to enhance institutional mechanisms for skill development and increase access to quality and market-relevant training for the workforce. Current Program Development Objectives, if any Current PDO Same as above Change in Program's Development Objectives Explanation: No change Proposed New PDO N/A Change in Program Scope There is no change in the overall scope of the program. While the project will continue to support implementation of the Government’s SD strategy, as outlined in the National Policy for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, over six years (2017–2023), the regulatory framework has been re-designated by the MSDE post an approval by the Union Cabinet of Ministers. The operation will continue to focus on enhancing institutional mechanisms at the national and state levels, including partnerships with industry and employers, to increase the market relevance of short-term SD programs and scale up their delivery. Hence, there is no change to the PDO. Change in Results Framework The Results Framework is also updated in line with the changes being made to DLIs. The changes made to the indicators are described in Annex 1. . Change in Legal Covenants (to check with MSDE) The Program Appraisal Document mentioned the provision of advance as a legal covenant. While this provision of advance will continue to be available for Government of India, this is not a legal covenant as such and hence is being removed from the list of legal covenants.

Change in Key Parameters (Disbursement Arrangements, Institutional Arrangements, Technical, Fiduciary, Environmental and Social) The changes to the disbursement arrangements pertain to the revised DLI allocations, changes made to the verification protocol and the simplification of disbursement formula. The changes in the institutional arrangements pertain to the changed regulatory environment and resulting change in institutional structure. The NSDA has now been merged with NCVT and the roles and responsibilities of newly merged entity (NCVET) will continue to evolve in the coming months/ year, hence MSDE is now reflected as the responsible entity for the DLIs. There are no changes in fiduciary and environmental parameters. On social parameters, the DLI relating to enhanced inclusion of women and marginalized groups in SD programs has been amended and strengthened to focus on women participation. The DLRs in this regard have also been amended to emphasize systemic capacity building for inclusion of women through development and implementation of a strategic plan for enhancing participation of women; and tracer studies to accurately track such participation. Participation of marginalized groups – particularly Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribe populations – continue to be a major focus of the program. Participating states are incentivized to enhance participation of marginalized groups with one-third of the State Incentive Grant (SIG) scoring mechanism being predicated on actions that improve inclusion (See Annex 5). Change in Program Action Plan Annex 6 lists the changes made in the Program Action Plan. The changes relate to the changed regulatory environment and resulting change in institutional structure.
