Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) is a flagship Central Sector Scheme of the Ministry of  Skill  Development  and  Entrepreneurship  which  has  been  implemented with  an objective to  train 1.32 Crore prospective youths under Short Term Training (STT), Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Special Projects across the country.

Skill India Mission was  launched  in  the  year  2015  with  the  aim  to skill Indian  Youth.  Owing  to  the success  of  PMKVY  1.0  wherein  more  than  19  lakh  students  were  trained,  the  scheme  was  relaunched in October 2016 with an aim to train 10 million youth by year 2020 and is called  PMKVY 2016-2020. With an aim to empower country's youth and continue the journey of Skill India Mission in building India as the skill capital of the world, the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE)  launched  the  third  phase  of  its  flagship  scheme- Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana (PMKVY 3.0) in January  2021. PMKVY 3.0 aimed to train eight lakh candidates. Based on design principles of PMKVY 4.0, approved by EFC, a skill development scheme i.e., PMKVY 4.0 (2023) has been implemented in the last quarter of FY 2022-23. The scheme aims to synergize vocational and educational streams and increase network of quality training providers by increasing partnership of educational institutions through Skill Hubs. Skill Hubs can be setup in Central and State Government Schools, Higher Educational Institutes (HEIs), Colleges, and Universities (including Skill Universities) with requisite infrastructure for providing Short Term Trainings under PMKVY.

PMKVY  prioritizes  and  provides  special  focus  to  projects  that  emphasize  women  as  primary beneficiaries.  Training  programs  in  sectors  like  electronics,  retail,  healthcare,  beauty  and  wellness, handicrafts  and  apparel  are  structured  to  attract  higher  participation  from  women.  Skill  Hubs  and Special  Projects  actively  encourage  women's  enrolment  by  ensuring  accessibility  and  providing supportive measures like boarding and lodging and travel allowances. Projects are designed to align with  local  skill  demands,  creating  opportunities  for  women  to  participate  and  benefit  from  skill development  scheme.  This  inclusive  approach  ensures  significant  representation  and  benefit  for women in skill training programs across India.

Placements have been tracked in the Short-Term Training (STT) component in the first three versions of the Scheme i.e. PMKVY 1.0, PMKVY 2.0 and PMKVY 3.0 implemented from FY 2015-16 to FY 2021-22. Under PMKVY 4.0 the focus is to empower the trained candidates to choose their varied career path and they are suitably oriented for the same.
