A DESCRIPTINE STUDY ON PERFORMANCE OF PMKVY IN UP GRADATION OF SKILLS IN NAGALAND

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a Skill India campaign on 15 July, 2015. This campaign goal is to train over forty crore candidates in India in different skills by 2022. Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) is a unique initiative that aims to offer meaningful, industry relevant, and skill based training to youth. Under this initiative, the trainees are offered a government certification and monetary reward on successful completion of training, which will help them to earn money or securing their livelihood. The PMKVY is a key measure to impart skill-based training to youth, enabling them to earn and support the anti-poverty efforts of the nation. Subsequently the last two decades, India's government has implemented many large national programs for vocational education, training and skill development to improve youth employment and earnings prospects. Since five years to PMKVY came into existence, an attempt has been made to evaluate the role and performance of PMKVY through a descriptive study in Nagaland.
