Training partner registration will be online, paperless and

transparent: Youth will get info about district-wise training centers with just

one click

UPSDM signs MoU with KLK Pvt Ltd and Winsome Textiles: 'Skilling

the Future' coffee table book also released

Lucknow, 15 July (HS): Under the leadership of Chief

Minister Yogi Adityanath, the state government is not only skilling the youth

but also making the skill development system completely digital and

transparent. In this sequence, at the state-level celebration of World Youth

Skills Day 2026 at the Indira Gandhi Pratishthan, Minister of State

(Independent Charge) for Vocational Education, Skill Development and

Entrepreneurship, Kapil Dev Agarwal, launched two important digital

initiatives.

Minister Kapil Dev Agarwal inaugurated the digital portal

Kaushal Setu by clicking a button. Kaushal Setu is the digital

portal of the Uttar Pradesh Skill Development Mission (UPSDM), which makes the

entire process of registration and empanelment of training partners online,

paperless, and transparent. Through this, institutions can easily submit applications,

upload documents, and submit required information on a single platform. This

initiative by the Yogi government will eliminate the need for training

providers to visit government offices.

Minister Agarwal then inaugurated the Skill Development Mission's

second digital platform, Kaushal Sarathi, by pressing a button.

This platform provides youth with a single window of information about training

centers, courses, and training partners available in their districts. Using a

digital map, youth can easily select the right skill training for themselves by

viewing the location, address, and contact details of the training centers.

This will provide youth with a single click of a button to access information

about UPSDM training centers operating in every district of the state.

During the event, UPSDM signed MoU with industry training

partners KLK Pvt Ltd and Winsome Textile Industries Ltd to provide training and

placement to youth in future sectors like robotics, AI, textiles etc. After

this, Minister Agarwal also released the coffee table book of Economic Times

'Skilling the Future UTTAR PRADESH, Journey

from Training to Transformation'. Minister Agarwal said that in the Yogi

government, skill development is not limited to training only, but by linking

it with technology, industry and employment, the youth are being made

self-reliant with the mantra of 'self-reliance through skill and respect

through self-reliance'.
