NEW DELHI, July 16, 2016

The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship has announced the launch of an online platform -- www.indiaskillsonline.com -- for inculcating skills of choice and bridge the digital divide in India.

Courses on soft skill, languages, culture, digital literacy and entrepreneurship are some of the options that will be made available to the users.

“IndiaSkills is a platform that ensures ease of skill training for all so that one can focus on application of skills to overcome the environmental and circumstantial issues at their workplace,” said Rajiv Pratap Rudy, Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship.

“With the introduction of online skill learning, the whole nation potentially becomes a classroom. The audio-video graphical illustrations format will help internalise the concepts for the skill-seekers, faster and longer,” the official statement said.
