Draft Detailed Project Report

Technology Centre Systems Program – Draft DPR for New TC at Rohtak
Gender equity and social inclusion strategy
Gender, Equity and Social Inclusion Plan (GESIP) is an important aspect of the social management
framework. TCSP also aims to create more choices for young people entering labour force (including
women and those who belong to vulnerable sections of society) in terms of providing opportunities
for hands-on-technical skills development at varying levels and types through TCs. This is in
accordance with Government of India’s focus on inclusive growth focusing on poverty reduction and
group equality and also with World Bank’s Country Partnership Strategy with emphasis on
engagement, transformation and inclusion.
GESIP will be formulated for the proposed Rohtak TC, during its operational phase which would not
only be an outcome of the participatory process but also be rooted in the national and state policies
for gender and social inclusion. Areas to be considered while preparing GESIP will also be in line with
the RFD of the programme and would comprise the following (but not limited to):
► Criteria for admission into vocational education and training for skills development
► Increased opportunities for employment to women trainees
► Timings of training
► Ease of Location of TC
► User friendly campus infrastructure esp. for differently abled sections. While developing the
infrastructure for training and production sections, special care would be taken to include
facilities for comfort/ ease of access for disabled persons such as;
Ramp for wheelchairs
Elevators
Toilets for disabled
Parking space
► No. of women rest rooms
► Training Aids and infrastructure
► Any other component
The PMU will prepare and monitor the strategy to help with the preparation and implementation of a
GESIP with particular emphasis on inclusion of young women as well as those who belong to weaker
and underprivileged sections of society. For example, those who belong to SC/STs, backward castes,
minorities and those who are differently abled. Good practices coming out of the GESIP will be
documented and replicated/scaled up further in new TCs.
