Detailed Insights
The Uttar Pradesh Skill Development Mission (UPSDM) introduced Kaushal Setu and Kaushal Sarathi to modernise the state’s vocational training ecosystem. Kaush אויב Setu acts as a central register where educational organisations can submit credentials, programmes and compliance reports through an online portal, thereby eliminating the need for physical visits to government offices. The system also exposes training partners to a broader pool of opportunities, as all empanelled institutions are listed on a single platform, ensuring equal visibility.
Kaushal Sarathi, on the other hand, targets young adults and professionals seeking employment. By offering a searchable catalogue of courses, facilitators and institutional partners, it streamlines the selection process. Users can filter programmes by industry, skill level and geographic proximity, making it easier to match training with market demand.
Collaborations with KLK Pvt. Ltd. and Winsome Textile Industries aim to embed industry‑aligned learning in the curriculum. These MoUs will trigger dedicated training tracks, apprenticeship schemes, placement assistance and real‑time exposure in advanced AI, robotics and textile manufacturing labs—a strategic push to keep the cohort ahead of automation curves.
