The objective of the Skill Development Scheme is to enable a large number of Indian youth to take up industry-relevant skill training that will help them in securing a better livelihood. Individuals with prior learning experience or skills will also be assessed and certified under Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). Under this Scheme, training and assessment fees is completely paid by the government. The Special Projects component of PMKVY envisages the creation of a platform that will facilitate training in special areas and/or premises of Government bodies, corporate or industrial bodies, and training in special job roles not defined under the available Qualification Packs. It has been integrated with the 25 sectors of “Make in India”.
