(a) NSDC is a Public Private Partnership Company set up as part of a National Skill Development Mission to fulfill the growing need in India for skilled manpower across sectors and narrow the existing gap between the demand and supply of skills. NSDC provides funding to build scalable, vocational training initiatives. Its mandate is also to enable support systems such as quality assurance, information systems and train the trainer academies either directly or through partnerships. NSDC acts as a catalyst in skill development by providing funding to enterprises, companies and organisations that provide skill training. In its efforts to scale up skill development efforts, NSDC strives towards the following:
(i) Develop low cost, high-quality, innovative business models.
(ii) Attract significant private investment.
(iii) Ensure that its funds are largely “re-circulating”; i.e. loan or equity rather than grant.
(iv) Build a strong corpus.
(b) & (c) After successful implementation of Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) during 2015-16, Government has modified its guidelines to make scheme more effective, transparent and beneficiary oriented.
