National Skill Qualification Framework

The Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Shri Rajiv Pratap Rudy has said that National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF) notified on 27th December 2013 organizes qualifications according to a series of levels of Knowledge, Skills and Aptitude. These levels are defined in the terms of learning outcomes which the learner must possess regardless of whether they were acquired through formal, non formal or informal learning. It provides a nationally integrated education and competency based skill framework enabling a person to acquire desired competency levels, transit to the job market and at an opportune time return for acquiring additional skills to further upgrade their competencies. So far 1345 Qualifications from 28 Sector Skill Councils and 116 NCVT Qualifications have been aligned with NSQF.

In a written reply in the Lok Sabha today the Minister said, under Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) of this Ministry, skill training through NSQF compliant courses is imparted.
