CBSE : Implementation of PMKVY 4.0 in CBSE affiliated Schools under Skill Hub Initiative

CBSE/DIR/SE/DS/Skill  Hub/2023

Circular No. Skill-122/2023

Heads of all the Institutions affiliated to CBSE Subject:

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 of India has emphasized the need for promoting skill development in schools to ensure that students are prepared for the challenges of the 21st century knowledge economy. The policy recognizes the importance of skilling in schools and aims to incorporate vocational (skill) education and training programs into the school curriculum. The promotion of skilling in schools is expected to provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in their chosen careers and contribute to the country’s economic growth.

The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) has been implementing PMKVY since 2015 to create an industry ready workforce and enhance the employability skills. The scheme targets schools/college drop outs, out-of-school children and unemployed youths in the age group of 15-45 years. Under the scheme the targeted groups are offered demand driven and industry-linked skilling courses that will enable them to choose a career path aligned with their abilities and aspirations. It has been envisaged to leverage the existing infrastructure of schools after the school hours or on non- working days as ‘Skill Hub’ for imparting Skill Education and Training. In the year 2021-22, CBSE has introduced and implemented ‘Skill Hub’ under PMKVY 3.0 in selected schools on the pilot basis.

Now, Government of India has announced the launching of PMKVY 4.0 in the Union Budget 2023. It aims to leverage the leanings from the implementation of SHI under PMKVY 3.0 More information on PMKVY schemes can be assessed at www.pmkvyofficial.org with guidelines of previous versions of PMKVY. SOP for on-boarding of Educational Institutions for training under PMKVY 4.0 as a Skill Hub is attached herewith for you reference (Ann. B).

All schools affiliated with CBSE (Private or Government), especially those which are offering Skill subjects in their schools are encouraged to start Skill Hub in their premises as per given guidelines and norms.
