IndiaSkills Competition

Under the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) organises IndiaSkills Competition every two years at the regional and national levels, aiming to scout for talent from across the country. Skilled youth from different districts, states and regions get an opportunity to exhibit their skills and compete at a national platform. IndiaSkills raises the profile and recognition of skilled people, and shows how important skills are in achieving economic growth.

The winners of IndiaSkills get an opportunity to represent the country at WorldSkills International Competition. WorldSkills is the global benchmark for skill competition designed to test the youth’s aptitude, ability and agility.
