The Kaushal Yuva – Skilled Youth program is a national skill development initiative under the Samriddhi Bharat Mission – Youth Empowerment, led by the Unified Industrial Research and Development Foundation (UIRDF).
This initiative (Kaushal Yuva Pillar 1)aims to empower students with essential digital skills through structured, online training programs in areas such as Software Testing, Cyber Security, and Integrated Digital Skills (including development, testing, and design). The program is offered at highly subsidized fees, in partnership with selected academic institutions.
Through this form, interested colleges can apply to host the Kaushal Yuva program. Only 14 colleges will be selected in this cycle. Each selected college must ensure a minimum of 15 students per approved program to qualify for participation and institutional support from UIRDF.
Institutions demonstrating strong student interest, basic infrastructure readiness, and a commitment to youth empowerment will be given priority during the selection process.
