Overview

The NSDC takes initiatives that can potentially have a developing effect, rather than being an actual operator in this field. Through this approach, the organization attempts to involve the industry in every aspect of skill development. The approach aims to develop partnerships with multiple stakeholders and build on current efforts instead of undertaking various initiatives directly or duplicating the efforts. To expand the necessary efforts to achieve the objective of skilling/up-skilling 150 million people, the NSDC strives to

.Develop low-cost innovative business models

.Attract significant private investment

.Ensure funds are re-circulating

.Create leverage for itself

.Build a strong corpus
