What is Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendra and how does it help a developing country like India? The growth of a developed nation retains the development of industries, technology, and primarily a high GDP rate. But to attain all these growth factors, the essential skills are crucial for the general public of that particular country to gain.
So, being a developing country, India holds more youngsters and a population than any other nation in the world. Though there is a high population, Indians lack industry 4.0 skills, which are essential for personal and country growth.
Seeking the youngster population as an opportunity for the country's development, the Skill India Mission came up with the model centers to bridge the skill gap, referred to as Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendra (PMKK). So, read further to know more about PMKK.
Vocational training is necessary for the general public of India to make the nation the world's skill capital.

Therefore, these model centers are called Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendra (PMKK).
So, the model training centers aim for the following factors:
1. To create the example institutions that show the value of ability-based skill development training.
