The
Union Ministry of Tourism has identified certain segments of watersporting
in the unorganized sector category for consideration under “capacity
building for service providers” scheme (CBSP). Under this, Institute
conducts some safety-related training programs without charging course
fees. A decision to this effect however would depend on existing schedule
and other logistic considerations. A stipend of Rs. 100/- per head per day
is paid to the trainees. To conduct training under this scheme, the
sponsoring agency will be required to arrange necessary logistics at its
cost. This
scheme is essentially meant to raise the safety standards of water-related
recreational activities and the target group would be those working as
part of the unorganized sector. Successful trainees will be awarded
photo-certificates on behalf of The Union Ministry of Tourism. Needless to
state, display of these licenses by the Holder would contribute a great
extent to building confidence among the watersports participants.
