The large-scale skill development initiative was carried out by CSIR through its Integrated Skill Initiative, which leveraged its extensive network of laboratories across India. The program focused on building industry-ready skills by offering hands-on training, internships, and certifications across 18 key sectors. With more than 5,200 training programs conducted, the initiative aimed to enhance employability and practical expertise. Phase III of the mission, launched in June 2025, further expanded its reach by training over 14,000 individuals through hundreds of targeted programs, reinforcing CSIR’s role in national skill development efforts.
