Expand skilling for OBC/SC/ST, including recognition of prior learning

Skilling opportunities continue to expand through the Skill India Programme/PMKVY 4.0, with Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) used to certify the existing skills of informal workers, and dedicated streams for disadvantaged groups (e.g. PM-DAKSH for SC/OBC/EBC/Safai Karamcharis and PM-DAKSH-DEPwD for Divyangjan). RPL and certification of prior skills are an established component of these programmes. However, expansion specifically targeted at OBC/SC/ST communities is part of broader skilling efforts rather than a single distinct new scheme, so progress is steady but partial. Partial.
