Quote
To channelize the interest of a plethora of organizations to participate in the mission of Skill India, a strategic vehicle to create a multiplier effect on skilling has been devised.  A ‘Resource Optimization for Skilling at Scale Platform’   has been proposed by the Government to act as a demand-responsive and   flexible vehicle to tackle the issues of skills shortages through skill development, job creation and   placement at scale. It will serve as the aggregator vehicle for pooling the funds of multilateral agencies, companies, foundations, NGOs and individuals for skilling interventions by leveraging existing infrastructure and resources. The platform will also be subjected to timely audits to ensure that the contributions are used for the intended purpose.
To attract funds from industry, companies will be encouraged to spend at least 25% of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds on skill development initiatives directly or through NSDF. Further, industry should earmark at least 2% of its payroll bill (including for contract labour) for skill development initiatives in their respective sectors. These funds can be channelized for skill development activities either through respective SSCs or through NSDF.

Key Areas of CSR Fund Utilization

• Establishment of industry-aligned training infrastructure.
• Implementation of skill development programs for women, youth, and marginalized communities.
• Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for the existing workforce.
• Capacity building and upskilling through certified training programs.
• Entrepreneurship development through structured interventions.
