The SIM aims at enabling youth of India to get future ready and industry ready skills.

The Mahatma Gandhi National Fellowship (MGNF) programme  was initially launched as a pilot project in March 2020 by Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE), under Skills  Acquisition  and  Knowledge  Awareness  for  Livelihood  Promotion  (SANKALP)  Project,  for creating a  cadre  of  individuals  to     strengthen  the  capacities  at  district  level  in  the  design  and management of an effective skilling, training, and employment ecosystem. The programme was implemented  in  collaboration  with  Indian  Institute  of  Management  (IIM)  Bangalore.  75  fellows were deployed in selected districts of  6 states  out  of which  69  completed  the  programme and were awarded a Certificate in Public Policy and Management in March 2022.

Considering the success of the pilot  and feedback received from stakeholders,  Phase-II of  MGNF  Programme  was  launched  in  October,  2021,  marking  a  national  scale-up,  in partnerships with nine IIMs viz IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, IIM-Jammu, IIM Kozhikode, IIM Lucknow, IIM Nagpur, IIM Ranchi, IIM-Udaipur, and IIM Visakhapatnam. Under MGNF Phase-II, 657  Fellows were  enrolled in the programme  and  deployed  in  657  districts across  33 States/Union  Territories.  Overall,  581  Fellows  completed  the  programme  and  were  awarded  a

Certificate in Public Policy and Management by the partner IIMs in October, 2023. The IIM-wise details of States / UTs covered and certified fellows under Phase II is at Annexure-I .

(c)  &  (d)               Ministry  of  Skill  Development  and  Entrepreneurship  (MSDE)  had  launched  the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojna (PMKVY 3.0) in January, 2021 with the objective to deliver skills to  youth of the country to make them employable for better livelihood.

Under  Skill  Hubs Initiative  (SHI),  integration  and  mainstreaming  of  vocational  education  with  general  education was envisaged in line with the 'National Education Policy' (NEP) 2020. The implementation of the initiative  ensured  broad-based convergence  of  vocational  education  with  formal  education  in  a phased  manner.
