With a median age of 29 for its youth, India is currently experiencing its highest demographic dividend, which is expected to extend until 2040. About 62% of people between the ages of 15 and 59 are working age. The global workforce will shrink by 4% over the next 20 years, whereas India's population will grow by 32%. India has a majestic opportunity to provide a skilled workforce globally. With this in mind and a vision to alleviate poverty through jobs/entrepreneurship, Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana 1.0 (PMKVY 1.0) was launched in July 2015. It was followed by PMKVY 2.0 and 3.0. Orders for the constitution of the Steering Committee and Executive Committee have been issued. However, approval of PMKVY 4.0 from the Government is awaited. The book delves into the perceptions of the youth of Haryana on the key aspects of the PMKVY scheme and the benefits accrued thereafter.
