The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) has recently launched two transformative initiatives, Skill India Centre and Rashtriya Udyamita Vikas Pariyojana aimed at empowering individuals with the skills and resources necessary to thrive in today’s dynamic economy. These initiatives, inaugurated by Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, the Union Minister for Education, Skill Development, and Entrepreneurship, underscore the government’s commitment to fostering entrepreneurship and enhancing access to 21st-century skills.

Let’s delve into the details of these initiatives and their potential impact on India’s skill development landscape.

Inauguration of the Skill India Centre at Dhenkanal, Odisha

Shri Dharmendra Pradhan inaugurated the Skill India Centre at Dhenkanal, Odisha, on February 23rd, 2024. He emphasized that the centre would strengthen the skill development landscape of the region, empowering citizens, particularly youth, to become future-ready. The centre, aligned with the #ModiGuarantee, aims to make India a Global Skill Capital.

With a focus on high-quality education, the centre, in collaboration with institutions like IIMC, will provide training in new-age skills such as graphics designing, hospitality, technology services, and the leather industry. This initiative not only prepares youth for the competitive job market but also establishes Dhenkanal as a future skills hub, instilling confidence in local youth for lucrative career prospects.

The Skill India Centre is equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure and modern facilities to mold the future of youth, offering placement opportunities in domestic and global markets. Sector Skill Councils (SSC) will provide industry-specific expertise, design training programs, and collaborate with industry partners to create a skilled workforce.

The centre’s outcome-driven approach focuses on enabling students to gain rich experience in emerging trends and apply these skills effectively. By preserving traditional crafts and promoting them in contemporary contexts, the centre aims to become a knowledge hub for the youth, facilitating their success in various fields.

Launch of the Rashtriya Udyamita Vikas Pariyojana

Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, inaugurated the Rashtriya Udyamita Vikas Pariyojana under the Skill India Mission, empowering PM Svanidhi beneficiaries in the city of Sambalpur, Odisha. This initiative, tailored for beneficiaries of the PM SVANidhi scheme, aims to nurture job providers across the nation through comprehensive entrepreneurship training.

This initiative was launched virtually in 9 cities including Bhopal, Kanpur, Indore, Varanasi, Bharatpur, Shillong, Silchar, Dibrugarh, and Guwahati. The project aligns with the vision of creating job providers rather than job seekers, as advocated by Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi.

The Rashtriya Udyamita Vikas Pariyojana offers comprehensive entrepreneurship training over a period of 22 weeks, combining theoretical knowledge with practical exposure through experiential learning. The training, conducted through offline, online, and hybrid modes, focuses on reskilling and upskilling employees to enhance their competitiveness in an era of disruptive technology. Partnering with organizations like Flipkart, the initiative aims to skill street vendors and small shopkeepers, providing them with a stipend along with training to expand their businesses.

During the inauguration, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan interacted with beneficiaries from various states, who shared their experiences on how the scheme propelled their businesses to newer heights.

The pilot phase of the project will be implemented through 20 Centres of National Institute of Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development (NIESBUD) and 10 Centres of Indian Institute of Entrepreneurship (IIE), with a focus on ensuring 40% participation by women. This initiative reaffirms the government’s commitment to harnessing the nation’s skill potential and fostering entrepreneurship, in line with the vision of a “Kushal Bharat – Viksit Bharat.”
