Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY)

Presented by Ramadoss V, Manager – HR & Skills

What is DDU-GKY?

DDU-GKY is placement linked skill development initiative byMinistry of Rural Development, Government of India (MoRD).

It evolved out of the need to diversify incomes of the rural poorand to cater to the occupational aspirations of their youth. Theprogramme’s focus is on skilling with minimum duration of 3months and placement with above minimum wages in theformal sector for rural youth who are poor.

Erstwhile called as Aajeevika Skills which is upgraded version of‘Special Projects’ component of the Swarnajayanti GramSwarozgar Yojana (SGSY).

MoRD has initiated this program in the year 2004-05 and over theyears, the programme has scaled up significantly.

Why in India?

India has 378.67 million young people in the age

group of 18 to 35 years and they constitute 31.27%

of the total population. This age group is

projected to increase to 429.21 million by 2022.

This is a demographic challenge, but also a

potential demographic dividend, if the

productivity of this large youth force is harnessed

through demand-based skill and capacity

development

Quality Assurance Through the National Policy on Skill Development 2015, India

recognized the need for the development of a national

qualification framework that would transcend both general

education and vocational education and training. Accordingly,

GOI has notified the National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF)

in order to develop nationally standardized, and internationally

comparable qualification mechanism for skill training programs

which can also provide for interoperability with the mainstream

education system.

MoRD has developed a Standard Operation Procedure (SoP) to

maintain the quality of the training in a unique manner throughout

India. This SoP will guild and direct the PIA to implement the

project.

The TSA of MoRD and State will follow SoP and assure the quality
