Q. To what extent, in your opinion, has the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana been successful in promoting skill development and employment in India? (150 words)

🔹 Introduction
PMKVY, launched in 2015, aims to boost youth employability through skill certification and vocational training.

🔸 Achievements
Trained 1.3 crore+ candidates by 2022

Strengthened Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for informal workers

Developed National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF) for standardization

🔸 Challenges
Low placement rate (<20%) due to weak industry linkage

Skill-job mismatch persists across sectors

Quality & monitoring issues in training delivery

🔹 Conclusion
PMKVY has laid a foundation for India’s skilling ecosystem, but its impact on employment remains limited. A stronger industry connect, demand-driven curriculum, and outcome tracking are essential for real transformation.
