PM-DAKSH skill training scheme merged with PMKVY
The Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment reported on 22 October 2026 that the PM-DAKSH scheme, which provided skill training for SC, OBC, EWS, and other marginalized groups, has been merged with the PMKVY scheme. This decision, effective from 2024-25, aims to avoid duplication as both schemes used the same job roles from the Skill India Digital Hub.
