India has seen immense economic growth in the past two decades, which in turn has transformed all aspects of an Indian’s life. We still, however, have a significant work left to be done, as far as comprehensive and inclusive growth, especially in rural India, is concerned. The Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY) program, under the guidance of Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD), is being implemented by Maharashtra State Rural Livelihoods Mission – UMED in PPP model through Project Implementing Agencies (PIA). Mandate of the PIA is to provide job-linked skill development training as per the guidelines of DDU-GKY. In DDU-GKY, there are certain entitlements for the beneficiaries, for which having a bank account is mandatory. The target group in DDU-GKY is youth of 18-35 years of age, who have never had access to the banking services and are financially illiterate.
