This week’s NSN Newsbytes bring you a comprehensive roundup of impactful government initiatives, CSR efforts, and academic collaborations shaping India’s skilling landscape. From President Droupadi Murmu honouring skill trainers with the National Teachers’ Awards and the ₹100-crore International Institute for People with Disabilities project in Kasaragod, to APSSDC’s global recruitment tie-ups and NIRF 2025 rankings of top skill universities, governments are making bold moves to boost employability and inclusion.

States like Uttar Pradesh, Kerala, and Delhi have also announced significant programmes in ITIs, green skills, and traditional industries, while Australia and India deepen cooperation in skill development. We also cover two key announcements – the launch of IDA Awards 2025 recognising excellence in education and skills, and the opening of PG DVET 2025-26 admissions by PSSCIVE, NCERT.

On the industry and CSR front, ASDC’s Annual Conclave, MoUs by NALCO and Diageo, Samsung’s AI skilling push, and Microchip’s STEM-focused initiatives underline strong private sector participation. Academia too is stepping up, with Kotak Education Foundation’s Skill2Win programme equipping youth with future-ready IT, communication, and life skills.

Here we go with this week’s edition of our weekly newsbytes –
