Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) – 2017

Empowering Youth • Enabling Livelihood • Strengthening the Nation

Advancing skill development India through the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana. The PMKVY FSC partnership delivers impactful youth vocational training and employability programs. Our dedicated FSC skill training empowers minority youth skills for a resilient future.

Formal Entry into Skill Development

In 2017, the Foundation for Social Care (FSC) partnered under the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) — the Government of India’s flagship Skill India initiative — to expand structured, certification-based skill training opportunities for youth from economically weaker and minority communities.

This marked FSC’s formal entry into nationally standardized, outcome-driven skill development frameworks.

Rather than limiting itself to welfare-based support, FSC transitioned into employability-linked capacity building, preparing young men and women for real participation in India’s growing workforce.
