Fee Waiver for SC/ST Candidates Joining Vocational Training under Jan Shikshan Sansthans

The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship has waived fees for SC/ST candidates enrolling in vocational training programs conducted by Jan Shikshan Sansthans (JSS). This decision was made during the first review meeting chaired by Union Minister Dr. Mahendra Nath Pandey.

The move follows reforms initiated in January 2019 for the Directorate of Jan Shikshan Sansthan (DJSS), which was transferred from the Ministry of Human Resources Development to the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship in 2018. These reforms aim to strengthen the skill ecosystem and enhance opportunities for underprivileged communities.

Dr. Mahendra Nath Pandey recently took charge as Union Minister for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship.
