Only 7% of candidates placed after PMKVY training, shows data
Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) is India's flagship skill training scheme. New data shows only 7% of trained candidates were placed, while over 19% dropped out. That means many certificates are not turning into jobs. If you're a business owner hiring trained youth, don't assume certification equals job-ready skills. Check practical ability and attitude before you hire.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Only 7% of candidates trained under PMKVY were placed.
- Over 19% of candidates dropped out of the scheme.
- The data raises concerns over employment outcomes from India's flagship skilling scheme.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you plan to hire candidates from PMKVY or similar government training programs, run your own skill tests and interviews instead of relying only on their certificates.
