Abstract: This study investigates the economic impact of National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) programs on college-bound pupils in Madhya Pradesh. The study evaluates the impact of significant initiatives like the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), STAR Scheme, and UDAAN on students' employability, financial stability, and social mobility. Surveys and interviews were conducted with over 100 student beneficiaries to gather information about their experiences with skill training, financial aid, and employment results. The data show that, while most students were satisfied with the training quality and indicated enhanced employment possibilities, there are still difficulties in financial assistance distribution, training consistency, and infrastructure. The paper concludes with recommendations for improving NSDC programs by better connecting them with industry objectives and providing greater support to graduates.

Keywords: PMKVY, Schemes, NSDC, UDAAN, Beneficiaries, Skill Development , Training And Employment.
