Telangana  has  so  far  submitted  only  one  Qualification  pack i.eTizen Operating System (Task/01/206) for NSQF alignment which has been approved by the  National  Skill  Qualification  Committee  (NSQC)  in  its  13th  Meeting  held  on  28th November 2016. Further, NSDA has also approved more than 3500 qualifications packs.

Further,  the  Government  has  been  implementing  a  number  of  skill  development schemes/programmes across 22 Central Ministries/Departments for training over 40  crore people  in India in different skills by 2022.  The  Ministry of Skill  Development  and Entrepreneurship has been implementing Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY2016-2020) which envisages to train one crore persons including 40 lakhs under Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).As on 17.01.2020, 40.27 lakh candidates have been trained under short term training (STT) and 33.20 lakh candidates have been oriented under Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) across the country.Further, the Ministry under its Jan ShikshanSansthan (JSS ) Scheme has trained 6.64 lakh persons during the last three years i.e. 2017-18 to 2019-20.  So far as long term skilling is concerned, 38.74 lakhs persons have been  trained  under  Craftsman  Training  Schemes  (CTS)  of  Industrial  Technical  Institutes (ITIs) during 2016-17 to 2018-19.

It  may  be  added  here  that  PMKVY  1.0  was  implemented  for  one  year  during  the financial year 2015-16 whereas PMKVY 2.0 is being implemented during the period 201620.  Major changes brought out in PMKVY 2.0 with respect to PMKVY 1.0 are involvement of States  for  imparting  skill  training,  affiliation  and  accreditation  of  training  centres  through online SMART portal, all job roles are NSQF aligned, mandatory Training of Trainers (ToT), etc. Further, various IT measures and interventions such as Direct Benefit Transfer, Aadhaar linkage of trainers and trainees, Biometric attendance of candidate etc have been ensured under the new scheme.
