The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) organized a high-level workshop under its Kaushal Manthan initiative to review the implementation of the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY 4.0). Held at Kaushal Bhavan, New Delhi, the workshop brought together officials from NCVET, NSDC, NIELIT, CIPET, IITs, and IIMs to discuss performance, challenges, and future strategies.
Chaired by MSDE Secretary Shri Atul Kumar Tiwari, the discussions focused on enhancing the quality of skill certification, improving industry alignment, and strengthening the Skill India Digital Hub (SIDH). “India’s skilling ecosystem has evolved significantly. To drive economic growth, we must integrate skill development with mainstream education and industry demands,” Tiwari said. Key takeaways included expanding the assessor pool, incorporating gamification in training, and linking Awarding Bodies to the Academic Bank of Credit.
In Guwahati , industry representatives emphasized the need for targeted skill programs in IT, tourism, and agro-processing to meet local employment demands. With PMKVY 4.0’s focus on industry-led training, businesses in Assam anticipate a skilled workforce aligning with emerging job trends.
