Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship along with National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) and KPMG research team, has also done a detailed study of the landscape sector wise and state-wise and figured that top 10 sectors in the country like Construction and Real Estate, Retail, Transportation and logistics, Beauty and Wellness etc. constitute about 80% of the incremental human resource requirement in the country. This has given a clear roadmap to various programs and spelt out priority areas which need to be focused upon.

The programme interventions done recently by the Skills Ministry are guided by the principles of Speed, Scale and Quality. The aim has been to implement a coherent programme of action to catalyse development of skills across India.

MSDE last year introduced the Ministry’s flagship scheme Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), the world’s largest outcome-focused, reward-based scheme for skill development. MSDE has also been able to re-vitalise the existing Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) ecosystem and additionally the private skill training ecosystem was catalysed through NSDC.

MSDE’s Flagship Scheme Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) today has over 18 lakh youth enrolled in the last 8 months, of which over 10 lakh have completed training.

There are around 12,391 training centres of PMKVY, across 29 states and 6 UTs in the country. We have a network of 1161 training partners who are enabling training under PMKVY in the country and many dreams come true for those who did not dream that they could afford to hone a skill. We have so far covered 617 districts and provide training today across 31 sectors. There have been around 411 job roles which have been identified for training under PMKVY. Ministry of Skill Development conducted 410 Kaushal Melas across the country to ensure the scheme’s reach to its right target audience.
