Start Your Skill India Center in 2026
India's largest skill development mission — 40 crore people to be trained
About Skill India Franchise — Complete Guide 2026
Skill India is the Government of India's national campaign to train over 40 crore Indians in various industry-relevant skills by 2022 — a target now extended with increased ambition. Skill India centers are authorized to deliver government-approved vocational courses across sectors like IT, retail, beauty, healthcare, agriculture, construction and more. The National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) and various Sector Skill Councils (SSCs) accredit Skill India centers. In states with high unemployment, Skill India centers are among the most impactful and highest-demand education businesses — students come in large numbers because training is either free or heavily subsidized by the government. Bivha helps you navigate the accreditation process, select the most profitable course combinations, and launch your center with a full student mobilization campaign.
Unlike PMKVY which funds only specific batches, Skill India centers can also offer self-funded vocational courses — giving you revenue from both government-funded and fee-paying students. Bivha provides complete course content, trainer certification support, assessment coordination and placement assistance. States like UP, Bihar, Rajasthan and Odisha have the highest Skill India center demand due to large youth populations with limited employment opportunities.
