National Skill Development Programme - Objectives and Advantages

Skill India Mission, the flagship programme of the Government of India, was launched in 2015 and provides a solid institutional framework at the Center and in the States for the implementation of skilling initiatives across the country. 

The National Skill Development Mission was established to promote convergence in skill training activities across various sectors and states. Along with consolidating and coordinating skilling efforts, the mission would accelerate decision-making across sectors in order to achieve large-scale quality skilling.
