All three listed points – Institutional training, Overseas employment, and Leveraging of public infrastructure – are related to the goals and activities covered under the National Skill Development Mission (NSDM). While ‘Leveraging of public infrastructure’ may not be the exact name of a sub-mission, it is a core strategy integrated within the Infrastructure and Convergence sub-missions. The listed sub-missions are Institutional Training and Overseas Employment, among others. Therefore, points 1 and 2 are explicit sub-missions, and point 3 is a fundamental approach within the mission’s framework.
