Division 02 . Skill Development

Funded skilling, delivered as a programme

For government departments, CSR sponsors, institutions and employers. This division exists for skilling at scale: programmes commissioned by a scheme or a sponsor, delivered to cohorts, assessed, certified and reported on.

It is not a course catalogue. Individuals looking for a programme to join should start with Education; whether a funded cohort can be joined directly depends on the programme and the sponsor.

Frameworks we deliver into

Each framework has its own documentation standard, assessment model and reporting expectation.

Naan Mudhalvan

Tamil Nadu’s flagship skilling initiative, delivered as credit-based courses inside colleges. Partners submit course structures with defined learning outcomes, test projects, industry use cases, learning material, assessment plans and evaluation rubrics, and provide faculty training alongside student delivery.
State — Tamil Nadu

Vetri Nichayam

A finishing-school model aimed at unemployed youth, with direct employment linkage. Open to a wide candidate base including graduates, diploma and ITI holders, which places the emphasis on mobilisation, employability and placement partners.
State — Tamil Nadu

Other TNSDC programmes

State skill development programmes with sector-specific curricula and prescribed assessment.

NSDC-linked schemes

National skilling frameworks with sector skill council alignment, qualification packs and third-party assessment.

CSR-funded programmes

Skill development is a Schedule VII CSR activity, so corporate sponsors fund cohorts directly and need beneficiary-level reporting against their own impact commitments.
Corporate CSR

Institution-funded

Colleges and universities commissioning skilling for their own students or staff, funded from institutional budgets and scheduled around the academic calendar.
Institutional
