New Delhi:India could create a pool of one million skilled workers to feed the demand for trained workers from the flagship schemes of the government across a dozen ministries.

The ministry of skills development and entrepreneurship (MSDE) has initiated discussions with 12 central ministries seeking their requirement for skilled workers for the implementation of these schemes, a senior government official told ET.

Training to these candidates will be imparted under the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana 4.0, the skilling scheme of the ministry, over the next two years.

Talks are on with the ministry of home affairs for the Vibrant Village Programme, ministry of women and child development for VIKALP, MeitY for the Semiconductor Mission and the ministry of new and renewable energy for green hydrogen and Surya Ghar-Muft Bijli Yojana, among others.

According to the official, initial training has already started across some programmes while deliberations are going on with stakeholder ministries to launch a pilot for imparting skills training to select candidates in other schemes. “This will serve the twin purpose of fasttracking skills training in the country and creating a pool of skilled workforce for new-age technologies and government programmes to ensure their smooth rollout and effective implementation,” the official added.

Depending on the available skill sets, these candidates would be given either a short skills training course or certification to recognise their prior learning to make it easier for industry to hire the skilled and certified workers.
