RecommendationsÑ Puducherry is near to the Chennai and Bangalore, both are IT hubs in the country.

Therefore, government should opt out-migration to get employment in these cities.Ñ In Puducherry, there are large no. of hotels and resorts. The demand of this sector

can be fulfilled by setting up more training centres or in-migration in the Hospitality& Tourism Sector

Ñ There should be schemes/subsidies in favour of Entrepreneurship in Puducherry

Ñ UT administration should facilitate internal market to the Pottery IndustryÑ UT administration should create awareness among youth towards employment in the

sectors like Leather & Rubber and AutomotiveÑ New Courses should be open in Puducherry, related with the industries like Paper &

Packaging, Textile, Chemical & PharmaceuticalsÑ To develop industrial growth in Puducherry, administration should initiate subsidies

or cheaper loan to the industriesÑ In Puducherry, apart from agriculture and dairy farming, In-land Fishing and shrimp

farming can also be promoted

1. Introduction1.1 BackgroundThe National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) was set up as part of the Government’scoordinated action in the skills space with the specific target of skilling/up-skilling 150million people by 2022, primarily by fostering private sector initiatives in this space. Inorder to achieve this target NSDC has been working on three key mandates:

Ñ Create: Proactively catalyse creation of large quality vocational training institutionsÑ Fund: Reduce risk by providing patient capital and improve returns by providing

viability gap fundingÑ Enable: Facilitate the creation of support systems required for skill development

Developing a research base is one of the critical activities and to accomplish the same NSDChas undertaken Sector Skill Gap Studies for the 20 high priority sectors. In addition to thisDistrict skill gap studies have been commissioned for various States to be used by differentstakeholders like State Governments, training organisations, industry associations,trainees etc.

As part of its research activities, NSDC now intends to undertake District wise skill gapstudy for the Union Territory of Puducherry.

1.2 Scope of workGiven the background, the scope of this study is to understand different aspects of demandfor skill development across Puducherry over the period 2017-2022 in terms of Estimationof incremental human resource requirement. This represents the shortage of workers,across the major functions within identified priority sectors of Puducherry’s economy,which can be met either through new entrants or training of the unemployed to meet short-term sectoral requirements.

1. Estimation of skilling requirement at a district level

Ñ For Up-skilling/re-skilling of current work force and estimation of number of workersacross the major functions within identified priority sectors for Puducherry who donot meet the current industry expectations and have additional skilling requirementin order to improve their employability.

Ñ For skilling of entry level employees (including core technical & soft skills).

This denotes the demand for skilling coming from the entrance of workers into theworkforce over the period 2017-22. This demand should also accommodatestructural / technological changes expected in the sector in future.

Ñ For Migrants, if any, owing to employment prospects and potential demand oftrained workers in other states.

Ñ Preparation of a District-wise, sector-wise annual training demand with coursesimportant for the same

2. Map the current migration pattern in Puducherry with that of the other states, withrespect to – source, role of intermediaries, destination, placement process and keyissues for migration

3. Articulate the aspiration of migrants in Puducherry based on migration pattern

4. Identification of skill gaps

4 | P a g e

Identification of the major functions and sub-functions within the priority sectors, andidentification of core technical skills and soft skills for each major function within theidentified priority sectors in Puducherry. Any specific requirement for up-skilling, entry-level and migrant skilling requirements will also need to be determined.

5. Current skills training provision by various government and private trainingorganizations/institutions across different districts in the UT for their identified prioritysectors and capacity gaps if any in the same. This is to include NSDC training partners,ITIs, Polytechnics, VTPs and other training providers (if any) operating in all districts.Skill development courses mapping to the priority sectors will need to be done.

6. Identify sectors where skill development courses should be run by government and onesthat should be driven by market directly

7. Recommended action items for each of the key stakeholders – NSDC, CentralGovernment, State Governments and Training Institutions, based on the demand-supplymatch.

1.4 Our approach and methodologyProject Approach

EY’s approach to this study has been customized in line with the objectives and scope ofthe study as mentioned in the Terms of Reference (ToR) for “District wise Human Resourceand Skill Requirements Study for the Union Territories of India”. We have supplementedthe approach with our learnings and experiences gained by conducting similar assignmentsin the past.

The earlier skill gap studies were conducted by distributing the supply side into skilled,semi-skilled and minimally skilled, while the demand side was calculated in terms of sectorsand broad job areas.

In the EY approach (as summarised in Figure 1), supply side is divided into 13 learnersegments which covers the entire supply side stakeholder spectrum viz. Illiterates, schooldrop-outs, school students (IX to XII), ITI youth, polytechnic youth, graduates and youthfrom other private training centres.

Our learner segments cover the youth pursuing education, unemployed and employedyouth across these stakeholders.

Demand side, is studied from the sectoral perspective, analysing the demand for manpowerin different job roles mapped to respective NSQF levels.

The study also provides recommendations for each of the learner segments.

Project Methodology

As part of EY methodology, the execution of the entire project into 3 broad phases:

Phase 1-Project Preparation

Phase 2-Data Collection

Phase 3-Data Analysis and Data Reporting

EY methodology is summarised in figure 2.

Fig 2: EY Methodology

Key Elements for EY Methodology:

Following are the six key elements of EY methodology:

Ñ Assessment of the supply side by categorizing the trainees/youth into the 13Learner Segments

Ñ Assessment of the demand for manpower w.r.t wage employment opportunities andcategorizing them into job roles and NSQF levels

Ñ Assessing the demand for manpower for Self-employment opportunities andcategorizing them into job roles and NSQF levels

Ñ Partnership with state institutions like SSDMs, Labour departments, technicaleducation departments etc. to fetch support from the Government machinery inconducting the primary survey

7 | P a g e

Ñ Use the technology enabled platform for conducting market research that enables inreaching out to larger number of respondents in lesser time

Ñ Use the robust econometric and qualitative & quantitative analysis tools to projectthe demand and supply for the year 2017 and 2022.

Elements of EY methodology are summarized in figure 3.

Figure 3: Elements of EY Methodology

Phase1: Project Preparation

Primary objective of this phase was to understand the scope of study and finalize theproject execution methodology. Activities undertaken in this phase are detailed inthe following section.

1. Finalization of project approach and methodology with NSDCApproach and methodology to undertake the study in the UT of Puducherry wasfinalized in consultation with NSDC which involved:

i. Formation of Project Steering Committee (PSC)o A project steering committee was formed comprising members from NSDC,

Union Territory Administration, Industry Associations and key Departmentsviz. Labour and Employment, Technical Education etc.

o Primary role of PSC was to assist EY to reach out to pertinent stakeholdersin the UT and coordinate & facilitate interactions of the survey team withthe stakeholders

8 | P a g e

ii. Conducting Kick-off meetings in the union territoryo Kick-off meetings were organized in the UT with support from PSC. Meetings

were attended by representatives from the concerned departments,industry associations, educational institutes, industry, EY project team andNSDC.

o Primary objective of these meetings was to interact with the stakeholders,seek their support in conducting the study, apprise them of the approachand methodology and strive for their feedback.

iii. Desk Review and Secondary Researcho Secondary research was undertaken to develop a comprehensive

understanding of geography and demography of the UT.o Understand the key growth sectors, social and economic indicators,

educational infrastructure, key policy initiatives undertaken in the region,etc.

iv. Finalization of sampling designo Sampling plan was finalized in consultation with NSDC. Samples for each of

the stakeholders were identified through Stratified sampling technique. Thissampling technique ensures that all the relevant stakeholders are coveredin proportion to their population size.

o The stakeholders of this skill gap study for the analysis of the supply sideare youth and educational institutions. Stakeholders for analysis of thedemand side are industries and industry associations.

v. Finalization of tools for data collectiono Guidelines to prepare the questionnaires and the template to conduct focus

group discussions was validated and finalized in consultation with NSDC.o Following points were taken into consideration while preparing the

questionnaires and administering the survey:· Survey questionnaires were kept concise and direct· Questions were prepared in MCQ format so as to avoid subjectivity

while administering the survey· Questionnaires were meant to engage and bind the participants· Local surveyors were deployed to administer the survey to capitalize

on knowledge of local language and culturevi. On-boarding of survey firm

Nabla Infotech Private Limited, a technology based survey firm was engaged by EYto conduct the on ground survey for this study. Nabla Infotech developed a softwareto administer the survey questionnaire on smart phones or tabs.Advantages of using the technology based survey tool:

o Real time monitoring of the activity through GPS trackingo Photo identity, time stamp and real time photo capture of the respondentso Timely data transfer to central server, which enables data analysis on the

go. Gives scope for mid-course corrections in the survey toolso Prevents duplication of data by building duplicate entry prevention

validations.o Helps in covering larger pool of respondents in lesser time.

9 | P a g e

o Maintains data integrity and consistencyvii. Pilot testing of the data collection tools

o Survey questionnaires were shared with the survey firm.o Survey firm developed a software tool to administer the survey

questionnaires.o The software tool could be downloaded on smart phones or tabs of

surveyors.o An On-boarding training was conducted for the surveyors, to familiarize

them with the objective and methodology of the study.o This training was a platform to provide hand-on experience of using the

software and administering the survey questionnaires.o Mock testing of the data collection tools was conducted to ensure reliability

and incorporate any changes if required.

Phase 2: Data Collection

This stage involved the execution of the following activities:

1. Estimation of supply by categorizing trainees into 13 learner segments2. Estimation of demand by categorizing trades/livelihood opportunities available

across the priority sectors in terms of job roles in the UT3. Mapping the available Job Roles to Learner Segments4. Conducting Trainee Preference Analysis through primary survey to determine

job role preferences – amongst the learner segmentsA. Estimation of supply by categorizing trainees into 13 learner segments

Supply side, i.e the working age population (15-59 Years) of the UT is distributedamongst 13 Learner Segments. Working age population is determined from thesecondary research and trend analysis. Current population figures are projectedusing standard statistical assumptions to derive the population figures for the year2017 and 2022.

B. Estimation of Demand by categorizing trades/livelihood opportunities availableacross the priority sectors in terms of job roles.The demand of manpower is identified in terms of the job roles across the UT- i.e.a. Demand within the district

10 | P a g e

b. Demand outside the district but within the Union Territory

Fig 4: Learner SegmentsDemand within the district and Demand outside district but with the UT is capturedthrough primary research by interviewing the industries across key sectors andacross levels in the Union Territory.c. Demand outside the UT but within the countryDemand is captured by interviewing industries in the 2-3 key states where youthfrom the district are migrating to.d. Demand outside the country

o Secondary research is conducted to capture this demand. 2-3 mostpreferred countries amongst the youth are considered for the purpose ofthis study.

o Demand identified in terms of job roles is mapped with National SkillQualification Framework Levels. (Level 1 to Level 10)

This demand estimation is used for projecting manpower requirement for the year 2017and 2022 taking into consideration growth factors, expansion plans of the identifiedsectors and various investments planned by the Government.

Fig 5: Secondary StudyC. Mapping the available Job Roles to Learner Segments

With the development of Qualification Packs and National Occupational Standards,we have a clear understanding of National Skill Qualification Framework Levels. Weunderstand that a person with a specific qualification level is eligible for a job of aspecific NSQF level.

12 | P a g e

For example a school drop-out is eligible only for L2 to L4 level jobs (until unless,he/she has gained the experience by working and here comes the requirement forRecognition of Prior Learning).In our methodology, the identified job roles with NSQF levels are mapped to thelearner segments.

D. Conducting Trainee Preference Analysis through primary survey to determine jobrole preferences – amongst the learner segmentsÑ A survey is conducted to capture and understand the youth preference for

the job roles across all the learner segments for e.g. a person belonging to aparticular Learner segment may be eligible to perform 7 job roles but he/shemay prefer to opt only for a few them.

Ñ The objective of this survey is to identify youth preference for the job roleswhich he/she is eligible given his/her educational qualification and capabilityand not to capture youth aspiration.

13 | P a g e

Phase 3 - Data Analysis and Data Reporting

A. Estimating the district wise Skill mismatch (surplus/deficit) across job roles andlearner segments after preference mapping i.e. post executing the preferencemapping exercise, for every job role a district wise skill mismatch (Surplus manpoweror deficit manpower) is calculated

B. Mapping of surplus supply in district to the demand outside district i.e. aftercalculating the demand and supply mismatch in step 1, the data from the otherdistricts will be matched across the job roles and the surplus demand in onegeography will be mapped across the surplus supply across other geographies,giving a clear recommendation to the Government and industries to source therequired manpower from other geographies.

14 | P a g e

C. EY recommendations and district action plan:A draft recommendation table for a district is depicted below. The recommendationswill be based on the 3 inputs:a. Available training capacity for a particular job roleb. Preference level of the youth for that job rolec. Demand of industry for that job role.

The recommendations to be provided here will be actionable and will guide the Skilldevelopment or labour and industry welfare departments of the UTs in creating a robustpolicy framework.

2. Socio-economic profile of Puducherry2.1 Macro-economic overviewIn 1674, Pondicherry (Pondichéry) became a French colonial possession. Togetherwith Chandannagar (already French since 1673), Mahe (Mahé) (since 1721),Yanam (Yanaon) (since 1731), Karaikal (Karikal) (since 1739)and Masulipatam (1760), it formed the French colony French India, under a singleFrench governor in Pondicherry, although French rule over one or more of theseenclaves was repeatedly interrupted by British occupations. Pondicherry wastransferred to the young republic of (ex-British) India de facto on 1 November1954, legally on 16 August 1962, when French India ceased to exist, becoming thepresent Indian constituent state of Puducherry, still combining four coastalenclaves.

Puducherry is a Union Territory of India rather than a state, which implies thatgovernance and administration falls directly under federal authority. However,along with Delhi, Puducherry is one of two union territories in India that is entitledby special constitutional amendments to have an elected legislative assembly anda cabinet of ministers, thereby conveying partial statehood.

The central government is more directly involved in the territory's financial well-being unlike states, which have a central grant that they administer. Consequently,Puducherry has at various times benefited with lower taxes, especially in theindirect category. The major part of Puducherry’s economy is depended on theFishery, Agriculture and Industry.

Geology

The total area of the union territory is 479 sq. kms and it comprises of four smallunconnected districts - Puducherry, Karaikal, Yanam and Mahe. Mahe lies in theArabian Sea while the other three districts lie in the Bay of Bengal. The largestsections are Puducherry and Karaikal which are enclaves of Tamil Nadu. Mahe andYanam are enclaves of Kerala and Andhra Pradesh respectively. Puducherrydistrict comprise an area of 293 sq. kms, Karaikal 160 sq. kms, Yanam 30 sq. kmsand Mahe 9 sq. kms. Puducherry district is situated about 180 km south of Chennaion the east coast of India. Karaikal lies about 150 km from Puducherry on the eastcoast. Yanam also lies on the east coast near Andhra Pradesh. Mahe is situated onthe Western Ghats near Kerala.

It's the union territory with only 12 lac population living in an even smaller area ofover 400 kilometre square. It being one of the 7 union governed regions,Puducherry has a greater population density of over 2000 people per kilometresquare, as compared to Indian states. The population of Puducherry has beengrowing at the rate of nearly 30% according to Puducherry’s census 2011. Thecensus also shows an increase of about 3 lakhs in the population of Puducherry ascompared to 2001 census.

The U.T. of Puducherry has requested Government of India to consider connectingPuducherry to the two industrial corridors namely the Chennai-Bengaluru Industrialcorridor and Vizag – Chennai Industrial corridor which are being planned byGovernment of India. Since the U.T. of Puducherry has close proximity to these twoindustrial corridors, inclusion of Puducherry as part of any of the two corridors willgo a long way in harnessing the industry potential of the state. When Puducherry islinked with the corridor it will have access to two major markets in south India -Chennai and Bengaluru which will give a major boost to the industries functioningin Puducherry. The government’s “Make in India” initiative is a growth strategybased upon development of economic corridors whereby policy initiatives to spurmanufacturing and overall growth are coordinated with transport corridors linkingboth developed and backward regions.

Connecting Puducherry with the proposed corridors will facilitate the establishmentof enterprises; allows uninterrupted operations; and facilitates the development ofintegrated national supply chains— including embedding micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and linking them with global production networks for thedelivery of inputs and distribution of outputs in domestic and global markets.

22 | P a g e

The advantages to industries operating along the corridor include benefits arisingfrom smooth access to industrial production units, decreased transportation andlogistics costs, improved delivery time, and a reduction in inventory costs.

The industrial corridor will bring growth, generate more jobs, raise productivity,and expand economic opportunities in Puducherry.

2.7 Migration in PuducherryThe study team had proposed to analyse the available data in the Puducherry toidentify pockets of migration in the union territory and the destination where amajority of individuals migrate. The team did not find detailed information withrespect to migration in the union territory, therefore, a review of availableliterature was done to develop a perspective on migration in the State. NSSO Studyon migration undertaken in 2007-08 shows some trends on migration across allStates. The findings reveal the following:

Ñ Migration is higher among those with higher literacy levels than those with lessor no literacy.

Ñ Men migrate largely to seek employment opportunities whereas most womenmigrate when they get married.

Ñ While migrants from rural areas engage in self-employment, the urban migrantsengage in salaried jobs.

Ñ The proportion of short term migration in rural areas was more than those inurban areas. Migrants from urban areas migrate for longer duration orpermanently whereas migrants from rural areas return to their native place afterfew years.

Ñ Those who migrate do contribute to the State economy because it was foundthat the families spend more money on household expenditure, well invest moreand repay their debts wherever required.

Migration Data

The migration data analysis of the UTs has been undertaken which showed that thepopulation in UTs tend to migrate for longer duration and migration happens almostequally for the both the genders.

5.3 Manpower Demand of Key Job-Roles across the UnorganisedSectorsManufacturing and services sector offer employment to about 2 Lakh people in theUT of Puducherry. Apart from employment in organised sector the following arecategories under unorganised sector where bulk of employment can be witnessedin the UT of Puducherry

1 Taxi and Auto Drivers 14 Loading and Unloading2 Carpenters 15 Tree Climbers

3 Workers Employed in Shops &Catering Establishments 16 Pottery Workers

4 Nathaswara vidwans 17 Coir Workers5 Hair Dressers 18 Toddy and Neera Tappers6 Tailors 19 Bullock Cart Drivers7 Cycle Rickshaw Drivers 20 Thatchers8 Cobblers 21 Cooks9 Washer man 22 Hawkers

11 Blacksmith 24 Workers Engaged in Bricks and TileManufacturing.

12 Brass Vessel Makers 25 Workers Engaged in distribution ofLiquid Petroleum Gas Cylinders

13 Sculptors

Out of the categories mentioned in the table above Pottery & Potters is an areawhich is directly impacted by influx of foreign tourists. Beginning in the early1970s, a new kind of pottery took hold in Puducherry. Since then a critical mass ofsupply and demand, of potters and pottery, has accumulated in Puducherry. Overthe years local citizens, tourists from India and abroad, ashram visitors andwholesalers, all come to Puducherry specifically to look for and to purchase this

55 | P a g e

new pottery. For almost 20 years, civic promotional literature and tourist guidescall Puducherry a pottery town.

Subject of Analysis:

There are approximately 1000 persons in Puducherry who are directly engaged invarious aspects of producing pottery in about 18 different functional potteries,while there are many more people involved in its wholesale and retail distribution,both in India and abroad.

The supply side of pottery equation is being met by talents of individual ceramicartist from India and the west. A number of them attracted to Puducherry by theteachings of Sri Aurobindo or headed to the city to train at the Golden BridgePottery. The presence of both Golden Bridge and the Ashram is a strong driver forpottery trade. The pottery value chain employs people right from the NEET segment(local Tamil clay artists) to graduate individuals trained on design interventionsthrough the Golden Bridge Pottery Studio run by Deborah Smith and Ray Meeker.

The experience of Mr. Purushotham, Owner of Shivam Pottery, is a good exampleof someone whose education in Ceramics arts has been used in his job and now hashis own pottery shop which has offered employment to more than 35 people. Hewas originally trained to make pottery in the late 1970s at a governmentdevelopment project meant to be a regional service centre for satellite potteryunits. Over the years the centre went through various arrangements before it failedbut a series of teachers and apprentices, including Mr. Purshotham, joined togetherin a variety of alliances, learning and working in India and abroad and now most ofthem now work in Puducherry and head their own potteries.

Discussion:

Sector however faces the challenge in the form of unavailability of professionallytrained staff in this sector because today the youth is not going in the conventionalbusiness, they are going in the other sectors. This sector needs skilled & goodcraftsmanship.

Present Training Scenario: At present there are 18 potteries where approximately1000 workers are working. With pottery making people are also associated withpottery products sales, distribution & marketing. There is no any vocational coursein Puducherry to learn this beautiful art.

Recommendations:

Ñ This sector has the potential to attract forex and huge demand in globalmarkets which can offer gainful employment to a large number of traditionalartisans and people in the NEET category if trained through right kind oftraining interventions.

56 | P a g e

Ñ Awareness should be generated among local people to work in hotel &tourism sector

Ñ Some short term courses should be run to meet the demand.Ñ Some entrepreneurship model & grants should be initiated by the local

administration for the development of this unorganised sector.
