PMKVY completes 10 lakh enrolments under Skill India

Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana has completed ten lakh enrolments for the skill-based training programme.
"Till today, the scheme has seen 10,28,671 enrolments under 382 active job roles out of which 70 per cent have already completed their training," Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship said today.
The scheme has been implemented across all 29 states and six union territories of the country and covers 596 districts and 531 constituencies.
It addresses the requirement for skill development across 29 sectors in which around 566 job roles have been identified for courses in which the youth can enrol and get trained.

Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) aims to offer 24 lakh Indian youth meaningful, industry relevant, skill based training.
Under the scheme, trainees are offered a financial reward and a government certification on successful completion of training and assessment to help them in securing a job.
The Union Cabinet had approved India's largest skill certification and monetary reward scheme, PMKVY, in March 2014.
