Digital skilling finds a sweep spot in Budget 2022
The government reported a slew of digital skilling and digital university-focused drives at the Union Budget 2022. Skilling programmes and industry organizations will be reoriented to promote skilling avenues and employability.

The National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF) will presently be updated based on the changing industry needs.

The government will launch Digital Ecosystem for Skilling and Livelihood – the DESH-Stack e-entrance to skill, reskill and upskill residents through online training. There will be API-based trusted expertise certifications, payment, and added discovery layers to find relevant jobs and entrepreneurial opportunities.

“We are encouraged to see the government focus on digital skilling to encourage continuous skilling avenues, sustainability, and employability through online training, programmes, and industry joint efforts, just as the establishment of skilling e-labs for simulated learning settings. These are positive moves toward making India a worldwide global talent powerhouse,” IT industry body NASSCOM said.

Students from marginalized communities, weaker sections, and rural areas who are generally studying in government schools were the most affected during the last two years of the pandemic due to the lack of adequate e-learning resources.
