The scheme aims to train over 40 crore people in different job roles over a period of 10 years. The scheme is implemented by the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE).
The PMKVY offers a wide range of training courses in different sectors such as manufacturing, services, construction, agriculture, and healthcare. The courses are designed to meet the needs of the industry and are aligned with the National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF).
The PMKVY provides financial assistance to the trainees in the form of a stipend and a placement bonus. The stipend is payable to the trainees during the training period and the placement bonus is payable to the trainees after they are placed in a job.
