Scheme for Implementation of PwD Act (SIPDA)

A Dynamic and evolving organization with a National Vision and focus on skilling Persons with Disability, The Skill Council for Persons with Disability (SCPwD) was incepted in October 2015 to offer Persons with disabilities meaningful, industry-relevant, skill-based training. The Organization was promoted by the Confederation of Indian Industry under the aegis of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship and the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment. It targets the skill development of People with disabilities as per industry needs which can help them to be gainfully employed and contribute to India’s growing economy.

 All initiatives taken by SCPwD empowering PwD (Persons with Disability), move towards formulating local and national level strategies for shaping the future of PwD in India. This beginning, there are several projects which have been undertaken by the council since its inception. One among the recent is the collaboration with Glasgow Kelvin College, Scotland under the UK-India Education and Research Institute (UKIERI) to benchmark standards between India and Scotland in the area of Disability.

We aspire for a successful endeavor for PwD by addressing the skilling gap, and providing the right tools and work environment to effectively perform their jobs. SCPwD is now poised for future growth, driven by a National Vision and outreach, with a philosophy that assigns primacy for PwD to enterprise in the Government sector, Industry, and also individual accomplishments.
