Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY) is a flagship programme of the Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD), Government of India (GoI). The key focus area of DDU-GKY is the poor rural youth, prioritising disadvantaged groups such as the SC/ST/women and minorities. It emphasises market-led training programmes and partnership-based skilling and placement delivery to ensure employability. State Project Management Unit (SPMU), Department of Rural Development, Government of Uttarakhand is the state level nodal unit for implementation of DDU-GKY, in the state of Uttarakhand, India.
We worked as Technical Support Agency (TSA) for the programme. As TSA, we provided technical assistance for overall programme management of skill development initiatives in the state and enabling effective implementation of DDU-GKY in each district/block level through various activities.
