Skill India Mission
▪ The Skill India Mission launched on 15th July 2015 (World Youth Skills Day) has completed 10 years in 2025, marking a decade of efforts to empower India’s youth with job-ready skills.
▪ The scheme is designed to skill, reskill, and upskill India’s youth by offering industry-relevant training through a vast network of centers and programs, addressing the increasing demand for employability, entrepreneurship, and quality job opportunities.
▪ In February 2025, the restructured Skill India Mission was approved for 2022-23 to 2025-26,
merging Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana 4.0 (PMKVY 4.0), Pradhan Mantri National
Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (PM-NAPS), and Jan Shikshan Sansthan (JSS) Scheme into a single Central Sector Scheme.
▪ All the courses and certifications under the Skill India Program are aligned with the National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) and integrated with DigiLocker & National Credit Framework (NCrF).
