Skill Acquisition and Knowledge Awareness for Livelihood Promotion (“SANKALP”)
The Ministry of Skill Development’s Skill Acquisition and Knowledge Awareness for Livelihood Promotion (“SANKALP”) initiative is funded by a World Bank loan.
It strives to increase short-term skill training in terms of quality and quantity by strengthening institutions, improving market connectedness, and including marginalised groups in society.
SANKALP was established on January 19, 2018 and will run through March 20, 2023.
The project’s outcomes are assessed using the Results Framework and Disbursement Linked Indicators (DLIs) developed by MSDE and the World Bank.
SANKALP has three key result areas namely
(i) Institutional Strengthening at Central, State and District level
(ii) Quality Assurance of skill development programmes
(iii) Inclusion of marginalized population in skill development programmes.
