Skill India Mission Achieves Continued Success in Vocational Training
The Skill India Mission (SIM) under the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) has reached impressive milestones since its inception in 2015. Through schemes like Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS), and others, the mission has significantly enhanced vocational training outcomes across India. Notably, PMKVY has trained and certified over 16.4 million candidates. The rise in vocationally trained youth from 7.1% in 2017-18 to 26.1% in 2023-24 underlines the mission's impact on employability. Recent initiatives focus on upgrading training facilities and enhancing accessibility for special groups including women and persons with disabilities, further promoting inclusive skill development.
