This week’s NSN Newsbytes brings you the latest highlights in India’s skilling, education, and employability ecosystem. From PM Modi’s ₹1 lakh crore Viksit Bharat Rozgaar Yojna to new ITI upgradation initiatives and the introduction of horticulture in schools, the focus is on building future-ready talent. The launch of state-of-the-art skill centres and an Expression of Interest (EOI) invitation from the Naveen Jindal Foundation for high-impact youth skilling programs further strengthen this momentum.

CSR contributions from Kia, Samsung, Toyota Kirloskar, and LTIMindtree are accelerating industry-aligned skilling, while academic collaborations with IITs, universities, and global institutions are boosting AI, robotics, healthcare, and sustainable innovation. Together, these updates reflect India’s growing commitment to inclusive growth, women empowerment, and bridging the education-to-employment gap.

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