The government of India had earlier announced the launching of Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana 4.0 (PMKVY) in the Union Budget 2023. As part of the initiative, all schools affiliated with the CBSE, private or government, especially those which are offering skill subjects in their schools are encouraged to start Skill Hub at their campus.
Under Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana 4.0, the government has proposed to offer various demand-driven and industry linked skilling courses which include new age courses such as Drone, 3D Printing, Robotics, AI.
The initiative is in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 that emphasises on the need for promoting skill development in schools. The policy recognises the importance of skilling in schools and aims to incorporate vocational (skill) education and training programmes into the school curriculum.
