Skill India Scam
People within the BJP eco-system, its cronies and middlemen are diverting crores of public money meant for skilling of youth under the Skill India Mission. These middlemen and touts use details like Aadhaar numbers of unsuspecting people to project them as beneficiaries of Skill India, and thereby avail the benefits. A government-appointed Sharda Prasad committee criticised the Modi Govt in its report last year for setting an unachievable target of skilling 40 Cr youth. The committee had further found that the Modi government had been missing its targets over the previous two years as far as skilling the workforce was concerned. As per data reported on Skill Development Management System (SDMS) portal, out of the 50 lakh candidates trained, only 9.68 lakh have been placed in various sectors across the country as on 10.07.2018
