Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Skill Development Consulting

Answers to the most common questions about government skilling tenders and how we help organizations win them.

What is PMKVY and how can I apply as a training partner?

PMKVY (Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana) is the Government of India's flagship skill development scheme implemented by NSDC. Training partners can apply for empanelment through the PMKVY portal by meeting eligibility criteria including infrastructure, trainer qualifications, and placement track record. Zion Skill helps organizations navigate the entire empanelment process and win PMKVY tenders.

What is DDU-GKY and who is eligible?

DDU-GKY (Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana) is a placement-linked skill training scheme for rural poor youth aged 15-35. Eligible organizations include training providers, NGOs, and Section 8 companies with proven placement records. The scheme mandates residential training and post-placement tracking. We help organizations prepare winning DDU-GKY proposals with robust implementation plans.

How does NSDC empanelment work?

NSDC empanelment involves registration on the NSDC portal, submission of organizational documents, infrastructure verification, and assessment of training capabilities. Different schemes (PMKVY, DDU-GKY, NULM) have separate empanelment criteria. Zion Skill guides organizations through each step, ensuring complete and compliant applications that maximize approval chances.
