Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY)
Tracing the Evolution of India's National Skill Development Mission.
The Journey of Skill Development in India
Empowering India's youth with skills has consistently been a national priority. A significant step in this direction was taken in 2013 with the launch of the STAR (Standard Training Assessment and Reward) Scheme. This pilot initiative laid a strong foundation and tested a new model for skill training in the country.
Building upon this foundation, a dedicated Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE) was formed in 2014 to streamline efforts. Subsequently, in 2015, the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) was launched as the nation's flagship scheme. The goal of PMKVY was to leverage the learnings from the STAR scheme and rapidly scale up the skill development mission across the country. Since then, the mission has evolved through various phases, continuously improving to align with the dynamic needs of the industry.
