CAG flags gaps in MeitY’s skill development initiatives

New Delhi: The Comptroller and Auditor General has found several gaps in skill development initiatives under the Ministry of Electronics and IT, including instances of multiple registrations of candidates with similar demographic details, low placement outcomes, and data validation mismatches.

In its report tabled in Parliament on Thursday, the CAG found a low enrolment rate in deep-skilling paid courses under Future Skills Prime (FSP) and a lack of industry recognition of certification under this programme, affecting learners’ motivation.
