The Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), a flagship scheme of Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSD&E), recently completed over 10 lakh enrolments under 382 active job roles like logistics, agriculture, electronics, beauty and wellness, retail and automotive. Implemented by National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) through a network of 1,012 training partners, the scheme has been implemented across all 29 states and six union territories and covered 596 districts and 531 constituencies.
It addresses the requirement for skill development across 29 sectors in which around 566 job roles have been identified for courses in which the youth can enrol and can get trained. These courses help in making them more employable with hands- on experience on skills that will make them more employable and also more efficient in their work.
The MSD&E along with NSDC and the local training partners, and support from State Governments, MPs and MlAs conducted 410 Kaushal Vikas Shivirs across the country, to educate and encourage the youth to avail the scheme.
Under this scheme, the trainees will be offered a financial reward and a Government certification on successful completion of training and assessment, which will help them in securing a job for a better future.
