Skill development programs are necessary to capitalize on the Demographic Dividend. Multiple government policies like the Skill India Program and the National Skill Development Mission have been implemented towards this goal. The Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) is the latest and largest endeavour of its kind to be implemented by the central government for providing skill development services to the population.

It looks at the PMKVY specifically from the perspective of gender inclusiveness and analyses the challenges faced by the PMKVY over the course of its implementation.
