Skill development through Rural Self Employment and Training Institutes (RSETI), thereby enabling the trainee to take Bank credit and start his/her own Micro-enterprise.

Some of such trainees may also seek regular salaried jobs. Under this scheme, a total of 4.03 lakh youths have been skilled in the year 2018-19 against a target of skilling of 3.95 lakh youth.

DDU-GKY is being undertaken as PPP Project all over the country through Project Implementing Agencies (PIAs) registered with the Ministry of Rural Development.
