There are over 20 Central Ministries/Departments involved in implementation of more than 70 schemes for skill deve- lopment/entrepreneurship programmes. Details of these schemes are given in Annexure-I. Further details about the schemes are also available on the website of the Ministry i.e. www.msde.gov.in

In order to understand the sectoral and geographical spread of skill requirements/gaps and incremental human resource requirement across the sectors, studies have been under- taken by National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) with the help of consulting firms. Sector-wise and State-wise incremental human resource requirement projected in the study report for the period 2013-2022, are available at Annexure-II.

As an effort to align the skill development initiatives with the incremental human resource requirement, Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojna (PMKVY) has been finalized by Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship. The scheme with an outlay of Rs. 1,500 crore, has a target to cover 24 lakh persons under skill development training which would be done based on the National Skill Qualifi- cation Framework (NSQF) and industry led standards.

Further, in order to lay down the future roadmap of skilling in the Country, the National Skill Development Policy, 2009 is currently being reviewed and a new National Policy on Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, 2015 with the objectives to promote skill with speed, scale and standards, is under consultation with various stake holders.
