Proposals are invited from State Govts./ All India Level Organisation / State Level NGOs under the Scheme of National Programme for Youth and Adolescent Development 2014-15.

Last date: 15/11/2014 

1. BACKGROUND:

1.1 The scheme titled National Programme for Youth Adolescent Development (NPYAD) has been formulated by merger of four 100% central sector grants-in-aid schemes of the Ministry of skill Development, Entrepreneurship, Youth Affairs and Sports during 10th Plan namely, promotion of Youth Activities & Training, Promotion of National Integration, Promotion of adventure and Development and Empowerment of Adolescents, with a view to reduce multiplicity of schemes with similar objectives, ensuring uniformity in funding pattern and implementation mechanism, avoiding delays in availability of funds to the field level and institutionalising participation of State Governments in project formulation and its implementation. While there will be synergy and convergence in operational mechanism and programme delivery, there will be clear
distinction with regards the financial parameters of each of the components under the scheme.

1.2 While some procedural changes were made in the schemes during the 11th Five Year Plan,it was felt that the schemes need to be substantially restructured in order to make it more meaningful in terms of content, impact and outcomes. The schemes were reviewed in the context of 12th Five Year Plan by the Working Group constituted by the Planning Commission for formulation of the 12th Five Year Plan. The Working Group has recommended that the restructured scheme should be more focused in terms of emerging needs and requirements as also with reference to the capabilities of implementing organization, programme content and methodology of training. Following these and in the context of zero-based budgeting during 12th Five Year Plan all the four schemes have been merged into a single umbrella scheme.

1.3 The revised umbrella scheme will be operated by the Ministry of Skill Development,
Entrepreneurship, Youth Affairs and Sports as a 100% central sector scheme during 12th Five Year Plan.

2. OBJECTIVES OF THE SCHEME
