Under PM-DAKSH Scheme, National Scheduled Castes Finance and Development Corporation (NSFDC) implements training for SC beneficiaries, National Backward Classes Finance and Development Corporation (NBCDC) implements training for OBC/EWS/DNT beneficiaries and National Safai Karamcharis Finance & Development Corporation (NSKFDC) implements training for Safai Karamcharis including Waste Pickers.

The number of candidates trained and placed under the Scheme, State-wise in respect of NSFDC, NBCFDC and NSKFDC from 2021-22 to 2023-24 is placed at Annexure-l. For 2024-25 and onwards, it has been decided to merge PM-DAKSH Scheme with the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) Scheme of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE).
