A landmark first under #PMSETU.
The National Steering Committee has approved the Strategic Investment Plan for the Visakhapatnam ITI Cluster, submitted by ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India, making Andhra Pradesh the first State to operationalise an industry partnership under the scheme.
The Visakhapatnam Cluster will bring together Government ITIs through a hub-and-spoke model, with industry playing a central role in upgrading infrastructure, modernising training, aligning curricula with industry needs, and creating stronger pathways to apprenticeships and employment.
This marks a significant step towards building industry-aligned, future-ready ITIs and a workforce equipped for the needs of a rapidly evolving economy.
Congratulations to the Government of Andhra Pradesh, ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India, and all stakeholders on this milestone.

Interacted with Team India ahead of the 2026 Taipei Capital Cup WorldSkills Competition. Encouraged our young competitors to make the most of this global exposure, not just through competition, but through friendships, partnerships and shared learning experiences.
International platforms like these are as much about experiences, confidence and possibilities as they are about medals. I hope our candidates return with greater hope, wider perspectives and memories that stay with them for life.
Wishing Team India the very best!

The National Council for Vocational Education and Training (NCVET) has signed an MoU with Scope Global Skills University (SGSU), recognising it as an Awarding Body (AB–Dual). This recognition empowers SGSU to independently award, assess, and certify learners for its approved/adopted qualifications.
Training imparted by SGSU, across its campuses and managed centres, will now carry a certified standard of excellence—further strengthening the quality of skilling initiatives in the country.
Shri Rajit Punhani, Secretary, MSDE, emphasised that this MoU marks an important step in building an industry-ready workforce contributing to the vision of becoming a Viksit Bharat.

The Skill Impact Bond is a groundbreaking initiative, India’s first and the world’s largest impact bond dedicated exclusively to employment outcomes. Led by the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, this initiative aims to equip 50,000 young women with the skills and opportunities required to thrive in high-growth sectors.
Many individuals have benefited from the Skill Impact Bond, including Diksha Pandey from New Delhi. Initially facing financial hardships and low self-confidence, she benefited immensely from the training provided under the programme. Through this initiative, she gained essential skills in spoken English, communication, customer service, and basic IT. This journey enabled her to transform hesitation into confidence. Today, Diksha speaks fluently, navigates interviews with ease, and looks ahead to a promising future.
With over 24,000 youth trained so far, of which nearly 18000 are women, and 76% of participants securing employment, the initiative is driving inclusive and sustainable growth in line with the vision of a Viksit Bharat by 2047.

भारत सरकार द्वारा युवाओं को आत्मनिर्भर, कुशल और रोजगारोन्मुखी बनाने के उद्देश्य से प्रारंभ की गई प्रधानमंत्री कौशल विकास योजना (PMKVY) देशभर में विशेषकर ग्रामीण और अर्ध-शहरी क्षेत्रों के लाखों युवाओं के जीवन में सकारात्मक बदलाव ला रही है। यह योजना न केवल युवाओं को आधुनिक प्रशिक्षण सुविधाओं से जोड़ रही है, बल्कि उन्हें स्थायी आजीविका की दिशा में सक्षम बना रही है।
माननीय प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेंद्र मोदी जी द्वारा दिए गए “श्रमेव जयते” के मूल मंत्र को साकार करते हुए, यह योजना भारत की उस परंपरा को पुनर्जीवित कर रही है जिसमें श्रम, कौशल और कार्यकुशलता को सर्वोच्च सम्मान दिया जाता है।
स्किल इंडिया मिशन के अंतर्गत कौशल विकास को शिक्षा के समकक्ष महत्व दिया जा रहा है, ताकि देश का प्रत्येक युवा न केवल शिक्षित हो, बल्कि अपने कार्यक्षेत्र में दक्ष, आत्मनिर्भर और वैश्विक स्तर पर प्रतिस्पर्धी भी बन सके। यह मिशन विकसित भारत की दिशा में एक सशक्त आधारशिला सिद्ध हो रहा है!

India is stepping into an AI-powered future, and SOAR is our first leap forward. Launched by the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship in collaboration with the Ministry of Electronics & IT and Ministry of Education, SOAR (Skilling for AI Readiness) is India’s first national-level skilling initiative starting right at the school level.
As Artificial Intelligence reshapes everything, from classrooms to careers, SOAR prepares learners for this shift through a structured three-stage skilling journey. AI Aware introduces the basics of AI, AI Acquire builds practical and real-world tasks, and AI Aspire fosters innovation and leadership in emerging technologies.
From classrooms to careers, AI is transforming every industry. Through early exposure, ethical grounding, and hands-on learning, SOAR is preparing young minds not only to understand AI but also to lead with it.

At the 16th FICCI Global Skills Summit 2025 & Ministerial Roundtable in New Delhi, Hon’ble MoS (IC) for Skill Development & Entrepreneurship & MoS for Education, Shri Jayant Chaudhary, joined by Hon’ble MP (Rajya Sabha) Dr. Vikramjit Singh Sahney, called for a new skilling architecture – rooted in quality, equity & global readiness.
From PMKVY empowering 1.6+ crore youth, to Bharat SkillNXT, ITI upgradation, and the Grading Framework – the mission is clear: Build an India that is economically strong, socially inclusive & environmentally sustainable.

I posit that currently we don't really have a price for employability, for skilling. We must realise that you have to pay higher pay scales for people who are certified. Industry needs to put a value on the skilling: Shri Jayant Chaudhary (@jayantrld), Hon’ble Minister of State (I/C), Skill Development & Entrepreneurship and Hon’ble Minister of State for Education, GoI at the 16th FICCI Global Skills Summit 2025.
