A statewide skills mission
Gujarat has launched the Namo Gujarat Kaushalya and Rozgar Mission (NGKRM) to train more than 1 lakh young people for jobs in industries arriving in the state. The Labour, Skill Development and Employment Department runs the programme under Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel.
An industry-led model
The Gujarat Institutes for Advanced Skills framework offers short courses across NSQF Levels 1 to 8. More than 250 industries and institutions submitted proposals, with training for about 1.03 lakh youth planned across 20 priority sectors in 2026-27.
- Partners include L&T, the International Automobile Centre of Excellence, the Tata Indian Institute of Skills and Ganpat University.
- Courses range from entry-level trades to AI, drones and electric vehicles.
Who it serves
The mission prioritises youth, women, SC/ST communities, persons with disabilities, informal workers, artisans and migrants. In July 2026, the state held an industry-academia outreach programme in Ahmedabad linking NGKRM with PM SETU, the PM Internship Scheme and the Mukhyamantri Apprenticeship Yojana. Officials report placement support for around 90% of trainees completing courses at government ITIs.
