SANKALP

Skills Acquisition and Knowledge Awareness for Livelihood Promotion (SANKALP) project aims to implement the mandate of the National Skill Development Mission (NSDM), which was launched by Ministry of Skill Development Entrepreneurship (MSDE), through its core sub-missions. The project will be implemented in mission mode through World Bank support and is aligned with the overall objectives of the NSDM. The main objectives of the project include strengthening institutional mechanisms at both national and State levels, building a pool of quality trainers and assessors, creating convergence among all skill training activities at the State level, establishing robust monitoring and evaluation system for skill training programs, providing access to skill training opportunities to the disadvantaged sections.

The SANKALP programme under the MSDE has a provision for funding for the institutional support of the LSDM and the District Skill Committee (DSCs) in order to conduct Skill gap analysis, filed studies, capacity building etc.
