Skill Hub Initiative

The ‘Skill Hub Initiative’ under the PMKVY 3.0 focuses on the introduction of skill training programmes in the education ecosystems. The Initiative would consider the policy level synergy on integration of vocational education with general education as envisioned in the NEP 2020. The effort would also supplement the objectives of ‘National Policy for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship’ (NSDP), 2015.
