  • Abstract:
  • The Skill India Mission, launched in 2015, has been pivotal in transforming the landscape of skill development and employability in India. This research explores its impact on skill enhancement and employment opportunities, with a specific focus on Uttar Pradesh (UP). The study evaluates the effectiveness of flagship programs such as the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY), and National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS), among others. Data from 2016 to 2023 reveals substantial progress in training initiatives, with over 50 million individuals trained nationwide, including millions from UP. The findings highlight key achievements, such as improved workforce quality, sector-specific skill development, and increased employment rates, particularly in high-demand sectors like IT, healthcare, and construction. Despite these successes, challenges such as low placement rates, skill-job mismatches, and the need for enhanced industry partnerships persist.
