Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), Jan Sikhshan Sansthan (JSS), National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS) and Craftsman Training Scheme (CTS) through Industrial  Training  Institutes  (ITIs),  to  all  the  sections  of  the  society  across  the  country including rural women. The SIM aims at enabling youth of India to get future ready, equipped with industry relevant skills.

The  training  under  the  skill  development  programmes  through  various  schemes  stated above, is provided to all the sections of the society with specific provisions for encouraging participation  of  rural  women.  Under  PMKVY  4.0  scheme,  Skill  Hubs  and  Special  Projects actively  encourage  women's  enrollment  by  ensuring  accessibility  and  providing  supportive measures like boarding, lodging and travelling allowances. Training programs in sectors like Electronics, Retail, Healthcare, Beauty & Wellness, Handicrafts and Apparel are structured to attract higher participation from women. Also, projects are designed to align with local skill demands,  creating  opportunities  for  rural  women  to  participate  and  benefit  from  skill development scheme. Further, there are 324 ITIs & 19 National Skill Training Institutes for women.  Under  the  JSS  scheme,  focus  is  being  given  to  women  and  other  vulnerable sections  by  giving  age  relaxations  and  since  July  2018,  coverage  of  women  beneficiaries under the scheme has been around 82% of the total beneficiaries.

Under  PMKVY  4.0,  the  focus  was  to empower  our  trained  candidates  to  choose  their  varied  career  path  and  they  are  suitably oriented  for  the  same.
