Only a small fraction of workforce has formal skill
training. We have many
sectors where the rationale of skilled and trained
people gets affected due to poor quality of workforce. However, large sections
of the country’s youth are looking for livelihood opportunities. Keeping this
fact in mind Prime Minister Narendra Modi has launched Pradhan Mantri Kaushal
Vikas Yojana (PMKVY).
What is Pradhan Kaushal Vikas Yojana?
Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) is the
flagship outcome-based skill training scheme of the new Ministry of Skill
Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE). It is a result of those promises of
PM Narendra Modi to impart skills-based training to youth, in a manner to make
them capable of earning and supporting the country’s anti poverty efforts.
Last year the Indian government gave a formal go –ahead to
PMKVY with a total pay out of approximately INR 1,500 crores to impart skills training
to atleast 24 lakh youth of country which includes Class X/XII dropouts and
lower income groups through the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC).
Objectives of Pradhan Kaushal Vikas Yojana
The objective of this Scheme is to support skill
development for youth by providing monetary rewards for successful completion
of approved training programs. The scheme particularly focuses on:
·
Promote standardization in the certification
process and initiate a process of creating a registry of skills
·
Candidates undergoing the skill training by
authorized institutions would be rewarded with an average monetary reward of
Rs. 8,000 per candidate.
·
Mobilize a large number of Indian youth to
take up skill training.
·
Facilitate monetary incentives for Skill
Certification to boost employability and productivity of
·
Youth by inculcating required skills
trainings.
·
Provide benefit to 24 lakh youth at an
approximate total cost of Rs. 1,500 Crores.
Enrollment process
The government has tied up with several telecom operators
and social platforms to reach the mass about the PMKVY. Interested candidates
are require to give a miss call on the toll free number which they receive
through SMS, following which they will receive an automated call connecting
them to an IVR. The candidate has to provide his/her details into the system.

other training partners will be approved by the SSCs on the basis of guidelines

Assessment and Certification
The skill training assessment will be done by third party
