The document discusses building capacity for green technology and vocational education and training (TVET) in green energy power generation in India. It focuses on assessing skill gaps and developing skill standards to meet the country's targets for solar power generation. Key points discussed include India's targets of 100 GW of solar power by 2022 and related manufacturing, investment and manpower needs. The document advocates aligning TVET programs with industry requirements through developing competency-based skill standards and curricula. It provides an analysis of skill levels required for different functional areas in solar power projects and outlines various recommendations to build a sustainable engineering skill base to support India's growing green energy sector.

19. Conclusions: An investment of USD 47 bn for Roof Top Solar and a total
of USD 100 bn investments have been talked of. 100 GW solar
requiring 1Mn. full time jobs,
How do we reach this manpower pool with GTVET is a big question.
MNRE has come up with arranging skilling of 50,000 people, who will
train the balance workforce reaching a total 1 Mn.
The Road Map for reaching the above target of providing GTVET is
required to be drawn.
Assessing GTVET components as core ingredients in respect of Green
Energy Technologies, is important as in any other high technology
sector, and in principle the GTVET curricula to be competency based,
wherein outcome based learning and assessment to be responsible for
skill development.
The skill standards are to be developed for Solar Power Generation
keeping in view the industry requirements.
19

20. Snap Shots of the Paper:
• Emphasis of the Paper is on Skills which is
required for an holistic growth of Solar Power
Generation.
• This paper by way of secondary research as well
as primary research has brought forwards the
elements to focus on the GVET curricula.
• The paper gels with the Power Gen theme of
this conference
20

21. Way Forward : For Building a Sustainable Engineering Skill Base of GTVET in
Green Energy Generation.
1. You and me being the stakeholders, with your survey response on the
web link https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/R88L9L3e ; the work on
establishing Skill Gaps can be initiated. Action: Your good selves
2. Choosing a road map for developing Green Energy Technologies (Ref Tata
Solar- Bridge to India Study) Action: Government / Electricity Regulators.
3. Aligning Skilling programs of GTVET aligned with ii above, developing
Skill Standards, Validation. Action: CBIP as Nodal agency, Government,
Skilling Institutions, Industry.
4. Setting up a Skilling institution for Indian manpower as well as for
providing Skills / accreditation for lesser developed countries abroad
which may lead to GE business expansion overseas and competing with
other Skill Providers in Europe/ Australia. Action: Govt. Skilling
Institutions, Industry 21

22. 5. The Skilling to also to include understandingcritical scenarios of Green
Energy Technologies Power evacuation based on system demand, having
or not having a backing of Conventional power or micro grids etc.
6. Extending the concept of investmentfrom CSR to this sector also Skill
Ministry while recasting ITIs to tap CSR funding for Solar Sector, along
with deployment of funds received towards Skilling under Foreign
Contributions Development Fund exempted under section 11 of Foreign
Contribution Regulation Act 2010 (FCRA), keeping in view large
expansion envisaged.
7. India needs Vishwamitras (Trainers) for Transforming our Work force
through Transition like Rama & Lakshman were trained. These
Vishwamitras can being in excellence in plant management needed for
enhancing growth of GETs/ RETs. Action: Industry & Skilling Institutions.
8. Scale and Speed (with in a time frame are a must for Skilling India- a
must for excelling in the GETs/ RETs; otherwise we will miss the bus to
reach the growth levels we are aspiring for under “ Make in India” and
envisaged growth in the Solar Power Generation sector to let Sun smile
on India to make it shine. Till Sector Skill Councils finalize Skill Standards,
Industry can come up these standards of their own and can make a
contribution in developingthese voluntarily Action: Industry & Skilling
Institutions.
Way Forward… contd.
22

23. 9. Skill developmentneeds-Sharp Focus (identify what is needed in Short
term and long Term), Shape (decide on how and where to start
disrupting), & Speed growth (projecting and nurturing disrupting
innovation). Action: Industry & Government
10. Indian Population has made Indian Political empowerment achieve a
rank of 15 / 142 at World’s Economic forum 2014 but ranks poorly in
Education attainment 126/142, Economic Participation & Opportunity
Index 134/142. The Govt. has now in turn is required to empower its
people with Skills and Employment, Employment opportunities by
facilitating FDI by investor friendly policies, rules, laws, procedures in
terms of Labour laws, Land acquisition and approvals to help uplift India’s
global rank of “ease of doing business” to help India get technologies,
Finances for people’s empowerment. Action: Govt. of India.
11. India to quickly bring in a Road Map for Vocational training/GTVET
programs matching the aspirations of youth, to be adaptive of the
economy, collaborative and be credible (and portable) certifications.
Portability to be between certificates, diplomas, degrees and also
geographical across globe. Action: Government , Vocational Education
Institutions
Way Forward… contd.

33. Conclusions of Dusseldorf Workshop:
Key areas for international cooperation
33
• Storage for self-consumption
– In countries with high retail prices
– In countries with black-outs
– For SMEs
• Storage for renewable off-gridsolutions
– Near commercial viability
– Need for standards and innovative financing
• Storage for dispatchability
– Located at generation side
– Value and price storage services and contracting mechanisms key
• Grid stability services
– Economically not viable yet in the short-term
– Ancillary services markets and grid codes would be needed
