Do you know that India currently has a 6.57% unemployment rate? This is the highest level in the previous 40 years! This startling number is not solely the result of a lack of employment. The nation’s 17% secondary school dropout rate makes it challenging for them to find employment.

To address this, the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana’s Phase 3.0 was introduced on January 15, 2021, by the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE). Participants who meet the requirements to enrol under this programme receive professional skill development to help them acquire employment. The national government has already set aside a budget of Rs. 12,000 crores to cover all of the costs associated with student training and evaluation.

Here are a handful of the main elements that make up this plan.

a brief course of instruction

The short-term training programmes offered by this programme are typically 150 to 300 hours long and are compliant with the National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF). Along with teaching financial and digital literacy, several centres train students in soft skills and entrepreneurial abilities during this training process.

This training not only improves students’ employability but also gives them the tools to launch their own side businesses for which they can apply for a business loan at any lending institution.

Special projects

The programme offers training in specific locations or sectors inside governmental or corporate entities and offices under this component. In essence, by completing specialised designations that are not covered by National Occupation Standards (NOSs) or Qualification Packs, students get practical experience (QPs).

Recognition of prior learning (RPL)

The RPL component assesses a person’s current skill set and knowledge base and takes into account any prior formal or informal work experience they may have. Students are provided with bridge courses to fill up any knowledge gaps after the evaluation is finished, preparing them for the current market environment.

Kaushal and Rozgaar Mela

The Kaushal and Rozgaar Mela, held every six months by the program’s training partners and featuring media coverage, is when businesses evaluate candidates and make job offers. At least four businesses must be offering jobs to graduates of this programme who have successfully completed their training at this event.

Placement assistance

Without placement assistance, what is PMKVY? Since not all students are guaranteed employment during the Kaushal and Rozgaar Mela, the training partners here offer placement aid as well as entrepreneurial support to people certified under this scheme.

Continuous monitoring

Inspections and audits that are completed on schedule are essential to maintaining good standards. As a result, appointed organisations carry out quality inspections via phone calls, unexpected visits, and the Skills Development Management System (SDMS).
