population will grow by 32%. India has a majestic opportunity to provide a skilled workforce globally.
With this in mind and a vision to alleviate poverty through jobs/entrepreneurship, Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana 1.0 (PMKVY 1.0) was launched in July 2015. It was followed by PMKVY 2.0 and 3.0. Orders for the constitution of the Steering Committee and Executive Committee have been
