Under  PMKVY, skill  training  is  imparted  through  Short  Term  Training  (STT)  and  Re-skilling  and  Up  skilling through  Recognition  of  Prior  Learning  (RPL)  to  youth  across  the  country.  Under  PMKVY  4.0, which  is  currently  under  implementation  from  FY  2022-23  onwards,  1,15,109  candidates  have been trained / oriented in Maharashtra, as on 31.10.2025.
