PRADHAN MANTRI KAUSHAL VIKAS YOJANA (PMKVY 3.0)


Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY 3.0)

is the flagship performance based skill training scheme of the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE). The objective of this skill certification and reward scheme is to enable large number of Indian youth to take up performance based skill trainings and become employable (either self or Job) and earn their livelihood. Under this scheme, monetary reward would be provided to trainees who are successfully trained, assessed and certified in skill courses run by affiliated training providers. Specifically, the Scheme aims to: Encourage standardization in the certification process and initiate a process of creating a registry of skills. Increase productivity of the existing workforce and align the training and certification to the needs of the country. Provide Monetary Awards for Skill Certification to boost employability and productivity of youth by incentivizing them for skill training.

 States who have performed well in the PMKVY 2.0 scheme and are willing to take higher targets would be given higher targets.

    (iii) Formation of training batches:

     SSDM will support the DSC for formation of job role wise training batches.

(B) Additional Agenda Points:

    (i) Monitoring and supervision of Training quality

    (ii) Post Training Support

   (iii) Handholding support after placement /self employment

   (iv) Verification of placement

    (v) Grievance Redressal 

List of activities along with tentative timelines discussed during the State level consultation are given below:

Sr. No. Activities Responsibility
1 Approval of Guidelines and launch of Scheme MSDE
2 District wise Target allocation (50%) – As per popular job roles (50%)- Demand driven job roles MSDE/NSDC
3 Mobilisation, counselling and enlisting candidates DSC
