The Need for a Skilled India
Liberalisation of the Indian markets in the 1990s, end of the License Raj coupled with decline in manufacturing sector and the rural economy, resulted in the emergence of an unprecedented growth of new sectors in India. The global IT boom, inflow of private international investments and the emergence of the service sector meant that there was a significant demand for semi-skilled and skilled labour across the spectrum. At the same time, the then current system of providing skilled workers was via the route of vocational trainings in Industrial Training Institutes. However, these were long term trainings and focused largely on manufacturing sector job roles which led to a huge gap in the supply of the skilled labour to a rapidly booming economy.
Simultaneously, India’s demography was also evolving; the nation today has a large percentage of young population aspiring to break the traditional shackles to explore the new and the unknown for a better tomorrow.
The solution to a desperate market (national and international), demand for skilled manpower and aspiring Indian youth seeking avenues for progress is embedded in the vision of our Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi: to make India the skill capital of the world. This vision is transformed into a reality through the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana.
Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana
Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) is the flagship outcome-based skill training scheme of the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE) under Skill India. It is India’s largest skill certification scheme and the objective is to enable and mobilize a large number of Indian youth to take up outcome based skill training and become employable and earn their livelihood.
The scheme was launched by the Prime Minister, on 15th July 2015 - World Youth Skills Day, to skill 1 Crore youth of the country with an outlay of Rs 12,000 crores. It is being implemented across the country through the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC).
PMKVY will fulfill the dream of a skilled country - skills that make young people, who have been skilled at state of the art training centers or at home or with a craftsperson, ready for the international market or the national industry or for rural needs. It is the first step towards making India the skill capital of the world.
- PMKVY (2016 - 2020) is a modified and improved version of PMKVY 2015-2016 with more focus on stringent quality parameters.
- Union Cabinet approved the scheme on 15th July, 2016, with a mandate of skilling 1 crore youth of the country.
