Skill missions (PMKVY, DDU-GKY) address workforce readiness by providing vocational training, especially to rural youth. Aligning skill curricula with industry demands is crucial to curb mismatched job aspirations. Successful outcomes hinge on robust monitoring, certified trainers, and dynamic course content for emerging fields like AI or robotics. Exams typically ask about bridging formal education with skill programs, financing (National Skill Development Corporation), and the extent to which these efforts yield employable graduates.
