Parliamentary Panel Highlights Fund Use and Employment Gaps in Rural Skilling Schemes
A parliamentary committee led by MP Saptagiri Sankar Ulaka reviewed rural skilling schemes under the Ministry of Rural Development, highlighting under-utilisation of allocated funds and delays in disbursal. The panel noted that many trained candidates under the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY) struggle to secure jobs or receive low wages, contributing to dropout and migration. It recommended stricter fund monitoring, near 100% placement tracking, industry linkages, localized placement drives, and enhanced post-training support to improve employment outcomes.
