Impact of DDUGKY ON Rural Skill Empowerment and Employment

Abstract The Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDUGKY), launched in 2014 by the Ministry of Rural Development, aims to enhance the employability of rural youth by providing skill training and facilitating job placements. This study evaluates the effectiveness of DDUGKY in improving employment outcomes, career sustainability, and overall economic empowerment among rural youth. The research focuses on assessing participant satisfaction, analyzing the impact of training on employment status, and examining the relationship between skill development and long-term career growth.
The study is based on primary data collected from respondents who participated in the DDUGKY program, supported by an extensive review of existing literature. Statistical tools such as Pearson’s correlation and linear regression were used to test the hypotheses. The findings reveal a strong positive relationship between the quality of training and employment outcomes (r ≈ 0.88), and a significant impact of the program on reducing unemployment. Additionally, a majority of respondents reported improved employability, relevant skill acquisition, and enhanced career sustainability.
Despite these positive outcomes, the study identifies challenges such as job satisfaction, low wage levels, and limited long-term job stability. The research concludes that while DDUGKY has made significant contributions to rural skill development and employment generation, improvements in training quality, industry linkage, and post-placement support are essential to maximize its long-term impact.
