Ministry of Human Resource Development, Department of Higher Education currently caters to over 3 Crore students, which comes to a Gross Enrolment Ratio of 21.1% and the dropout rate at each level is in higher side. There is a large requirement of skilled persons in the core engineering and it is possible to train the dropouts from the higher education system is these skills. However, the traditional higher education system in the country is rigid in terms of duration. Keeping in view these National Programmes, Ministry of Human Resource Development directed All India Council for Technical Education, New Delhi to run the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana for Technical Institutions (PMKVY-TI). National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) will be the Strategic Partner in implementing PMKVY – TI project with AICTE.
