The Jammu & Kashmir Skill Development Mission (JKSDM) is implementing the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) 4.0, a flagship skill development programme of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, Government of India, aimed at providing industry-relevant skill training to youth and enhancing their employability.
In view of the rapidly increasing demand for trained healthcare support professionals in both domestic and international healthcare markets, particularly in countries experiencing ageing populations, workforce shortages, and expanding healthcare systems, the Caregiver job role has emerged as a high-potential employment avenue under the Healthcare Sector Skill Council. Recognising the global demand for qualified caregivers, the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), Government of India, has entered into Government-to-Government (G2G) Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) and international workforce mobility partnerships with several countries to facilitate the placement of skilled Indian professionals abroad. Under these arrangements, trained and certified caregivers can access overseas employment opportunities through structured recruitment channels facilitated by NSDC International, ensuring transparent, safe, and ethical migration pathways.
Hospitals and Allied Health Institutions possessing the requisite clinical infrastructure, training ecosystem in healthcare service delivery are encouraged to participate in the implementation of Caregiver Training Programmes under PMKVY 4.0. The selected institutions shall conduct classroom training and facilitate On-the-Job Training (OJT) in accordance to guidelines prescribed under PMKVY 4.0. Implementing institutions shall be eligible for payment of training cost as per the scheme norms and guidelines.
The detailed guidelines, course curriculum, eligibility criteria, training norms, and other operational details pertaining to the Caregiver course are available on our website https://skill.jk.gov.in/cms/
