Start Your DDU-GKY Training Center in 2026
100% government funded — train rural youth and earn without collecting a single rupee in fees
About DDU-GKY Franchise — Complete Guide 2026
DDU-GKY (Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana) is India's most generous government skill development scheme — it provides 100% funding to training centers to train and place rural youth from BPL (Below Poverty Line) families. Unlike PMKVY which pays per student, DDU-GKY funds the entire training program including residential facility (hostel), food, transportation, training costs, and placement support. This makes DDU-GKY centers highly sustainable — zero collection from students, 100% government reimbursement, with built-in incentives for every student placed in a job earning above a minimum salary threshold. Centers earn placement incentives on top of the training cost reimbursement, creating a powerful financial model. Bivha has helped training organizations across Bihar, UP, Odisha, Jharkhand, and MP successfully obtain DDU-GKY accreditation and run successful batches.
DDU-GKY requires centers to have hostel facilities for residential training — this is the key infrastructure requirement that differentiates it from other schemes. The government reimburses hostel and food costs, so the investment is recoverable. Bivha guides you on the complete SOP (Project Implementation Agency registration), CTSA (Cluster Training Support Agency) empanelment, and batch management process.
