- (a) Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) is implementing its flagship  scheme  Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY),  since  2015,  for imparting skill development training through Short-Term Training (STT) and up-skilling and re-skilling through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) to youth across the country. Under PMKVY,  placement opportunities have been facilitated to  STT certified candidates and RPL involves the process of certification of already existing skills.

Under the PMKVY scheme, placements were tracked in the Short-Term Training (STT)  component  in  the  first  three  versions  of  the  Scheme  which  is  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 was to empower our trained candidates to choose their varied career path and they are suitably oriented for the same. Further various IT tools like skill India Digital Hub (SIDH) also gives this opportunity.

Under the PMKVY scheme, as on 31.10.2024 a total of 6,888 candidates have been  trained/  oriented  in  Chatra  District  of  Jharkahnd.  Out  of  which,  786  candidates have been reported placed during the first three versions of PMKVY.

The target  groups  include  those  pursuing  Short-Term  Training  (STT)  for  fresh  skilling,  reskilling,  or  up-skilling,  especially  out-of-education  candidates,  school/college  dropouts, and unemployed youth. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is for individuals with prior experience  or  skills  who  are  willing  to  undergo  assessment  and  certification.  Special Projects  focus  on  marginalized  groups  and  job  roles  in  emerging  skills.  Eligibility requires Indian nationals with a valid Aadhaar. The age limit is 15 to 45 years for STT and  Special  Projects,  and  18  to  59  years  for  RPL,  with  prior  job-specific  experience required for RPL participants.
