Govt framing common rules for skill development schemes

The government today said it is framing common rules for skill development schemes on the basis of a report submitted by a committee on rationalisation of such schemes run by various ministries and departments.

The government had constituted a high-level committee on "dovetailing and rationalisation" of central government schemes on skill development schemes last year.

"The Committee has submitted its report. On the basis of the report and the inputs/feedback received from the stakeholders, Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE) is framing the Common Norms for skill development schemes implemented by the Government of India," Skill Development & Entrepreneurship Minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy said in a written reply to the Lok Sabha.
