Statement 1 is incorrect. Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) is the flagship scheme of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), not the Ministry of Labour and Employment. Statement 2 is correct. PMKVY includes training components not only in domain-specific skills but also in soft skills, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and digital literacy to make trainees more employable. Statement 3 is correct. A key objective of PMKVY, particularly through its Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) component, is to assess and certify the skills of the existing, often unregulated, workforce and align their competencies with the National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF).

PMKVY focuses on improving employability through skills training and certification, managed by the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship.

PMKVY was launched in 2015. The scheme aims to mobilize Indian youth to take up skill training with a view to increasing their employability and productivity.
