A new NITI Aayog report, Reimagining Skilling for Viksit Bharat@2047, released in August 2026, proposes a significant shift in Maharashtra’s skilling ecosystem. The report calls for moving away from enrolment and certificate-based training towards programmes directly tied to employment, wages, and career progression. The report highlights that while India has trained over 7.67 crore people since 2014-15, outcomes remain uneven, and the country's skilling architecture needs a fundamental overhaul.
Maharashtra is among the states that have developed significant skilling initiatives, specifically citing the Mahaswayam platform alongside Tamil Nadu’s Naan Mudhalvan and Odisha’s Skilled in Odisha. The report emphasizes that states will be the primary drivers of the proposed transformation, adapting the national framework to local labour markets, infrastructure, and learner needs.
