Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship has undertaken an exercise for review and revision of the National Policy for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship 2015. This has been necessitated considering rapid transformation in technology, emerging market requirements, changing global scenario, and evolving skilling and entrepreneurship landscape.

A draft of the National Policy for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, 2025 has been prepared that aims to provide a comprehensive framework for all skilling and entrepreneurship activities being carried out in the country, and to align them with the national priorities. The aspirations underlining the draft national policy are: scale, quality and inclusion. For realization of these aspirations, key principles, thrusts and enablers have also been indicated. The draft national policy also seeks to establish clarity, coherence and convergence for skill development and entrepreneurship promotion efforts across the country. It also seeks to link skill development and entrepreneurship promotion to the improved employability and productivity outcomes.

To ensure that the revised National Policy for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, 2025 is aligned with current and emerging requirements, the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, Government of India in collaboration with MyGov invites inputs/suggestions from general public as well as researchers, startups, civil society, and domain experts.

NSDC being the apex body can play a bigger role if it is established in each state, lot of industries, organization and vocational skill entities have not been members nor availed membership which will help many more to get into active skilling. likewise sector skill councils also need to be active on each state for more players to avail the membership. many do express that navigating from far of state is an issue.

Bank Recognition for Loans: Banks should recognize skill certificates as a basis for providing loans for self-employment or business ventures. Skill Test Tools for Industry/Banks: Provide standardized skill test tools to industries and banks to assess capabilities for job offers or loan eligibility. Equitable Skilled Labor Cost: The value of certification should equate to the cost of skilled labor, not semi-skilled or unskilled.

Currently, these certificates lack adequate recognition from industries and banks, hindering both employment and access to financial aid. The policy should mandate industry recognition of NSQF certifications for job roles and career advancement, potentially through industry-led assessments. Furthermore, banks must recognize these certificates for loan eligibility, perhaps by developing new credit scoring models. Critically, certified skilled labor needs to be compensated at actual skilled wages, moving beyond the "semi-skilled" categorization. As a placement officer, I witness this disparity daily. A major impediment is the currently low training cost of ₹49/hour provided by the Ministry, which makes quality delivery impossible. This severely limits quality trainers, modern infrastructure, and relevant curriculum. The policy must take a bold decision to significantly increase this per-hour training cost to a realistic level (80/hour), reflecting actual industry expert

Please find attached a concept note containing our key recommendations for the Draft National Policy on Skill Development & Entrepreneurship 2025. The suggestions focus on integrating emerging technologies (EV, AI/ML, IoT, Drones), enabling PPP-based training models, improving rural access, and aligning skilling with entrepreneurship and academic recognition. We hope these inputs will contribute to building a more inclusive, industry-aligned, and future-ready skilling ecosystem.

Promote PPP-based industry labs in colleges for EV, AI, and IoT training on revenue-sharing models to ensure practical exposure. Integrate modules on Electric Vehicles, Drones, AI/ML, and IoT into ITI and Polytechnic curriculum to meet future industry demand. Enable UGC/AICTE recognition and credit transfer for NSQF-aligned short-term skill programs, bridging vocational and formal education. Launch micro/rural tech skill hubs focused on EV repair, solar tech, and robotics in Tier 3/4 regions to ensure last-mile access. Introduce entrepreneurship labs at skill centers with modules on product development, branding, and market linkage, especially in clean-tech and mobility sectors. Develop a national AI-powered multilingual LMS with adaptive learning, performance tracking, and job mapping to boost reach and efficiency of digital skilling.

Proposal: Enhancing Maths and Drawing Education in ITIs The decreased marking weightage of maths and drawing subjects in ITI exams has led to a decline in student interest. However, these subjects are crucial for technical fields. To address this issue, To boost student interest in maths and drawing, crucial for technical fields, ITIs can develop STEM labs and send instructors for training at Centre for Creative Learning IIT Gandhinagar (CCL-IITG) for STEM workshops. This will enable hands-on learning, equip instructors with innovative teaching methods, and increase student engagement, ultimately leading to better learning outcomes and industry-ready students. By implementing this proposal, ITIs can revitalize maths and drawing education, preparing students for success in technical fields.

Subject: Suggestion for Introducing New Courses in Emerging Sectors The decline in ITI admissions necessitates a strategic response to revitalize interest and relevance. Introducing new courses in emerging sectors like food industry, multimedia, fire technology, and interior design can help bridge the gap between industry demand and skilled workforce availability. I would like to propose the following courses: 1. Food Industry: With the growing demand for skilled professionals in the food processing and hospitality sectors, introducing courses in food safety, quality control, and culinary arts would be beneficial. 2. Multimedia: As the demand for digital content creation increases, courses in multimedia design, animation, and video production would equip students with the skills required for the industry. 3. Fire Technology: With the growing emphasis on safety and security, introducing courses in fire safety, prevention, and mitigation would provide students with employment

1) Development of modular training content with assessments accessible via mobile devices -Sector Skill Councils (SSCs) should create short, targeted learning modules for each job role. -Each module should include formative assessments to track progress. -A comprehensive final assessment should be administered at the end of the training program. -All learning materials and assessments should be designed for easy access and use on mobile phones, ensuring better reach and flexibility for learners. 2) State- and job role-specific skill gap studies -Each SSC should conduct a detailed skill gap analysis, with a strong focus on individual states and priority job roles. -The study should identify current and future workforce requirements, regional industry trends, and skill shortages. -Findings should inform curriculum development, training delivery plans, and industry engagement strategies tailored to local needs.
