Empowering Haryana’s Youth: Skill Development Through DDU-GKY 2.0
Haryana State Rural Livelihoods Mission (HSRLM) is taking a significant step toward empowering the rural youth of Haryana by launching DDU-GKY 2.0—an enhanced skill development initiative under the Ministry of Rural Development’s flagship program. This initiative is designed to train and place rural youth in gainful employment, addressing the skills gap in India’s growing economy.
What is DDU-GKY 2.0?
Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY) is a national-level program that focuses on skill development and job placement for youth aged 15–35 years from rural areas. DDU-GKY 2.0 builds upon the foundation of the original scheme with a renewed emphasis on quality training, inclusive growth, and measurable outcomes.
In Haryana, HSRLM is leading the implementation of DDU-GKY 2.0, inviting Project Implementing Agencies (PIAs) to help train 1,846 candidates through residential training programs, with a strong focus on employment outcomes.
