PM-DAKSH-DEPwD portal for Skilling and Employment of PwDs

The Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India has a pivotal role in spearheading the empowerment initiatives for Persons with Disabilities across the country. One of the objectives is to provide skill training and foster employment opportunities to the PwDs. To realise this objective the department has proudly launched a digital platform named PM-DAKSH-DEPwD-(accessible at www.pmdaksh.depwd.gov.in). This online portal serves as an integrated hub catering to the multifaceted needs of PwDs, training organizations, as well as employers and job aggregators. Within the framework of PM-DAKSH-DEPwD, we have meticulously developed the below two modules designed explicitly for delivering skill training and facilitating employment opportunities for PwDs, respectively:-

1. Divyangjan Kaushal Vikas: The complete execution of the flagship Central Sector Scheme named National Action Plan for Skill Development of PwDs (NAP-SDP) is facilitated through the Divyangjan Kaushal Vikas section of PM DAKSH DEPwD portal. The section provides end-to-end facilities for PwDs interested in skill training. The facilities include Unique Disability Identity (UDID) based seamless registration, enabling enrolment in over 250+ skill development courses, e-learning digital resources, aids in identifying Training Partners in their state/District, access to study materials, as well as detailed
   information on the trainers.
2. Divyangjan Rozgar Setu: The Department has undertaken a significant initiative by introducing Divyagnjan Rogar Setu, which is a specialized digital platform dedicated to providing information about the vacancies for PwDs in the various organizations. The platform is aimed to act as a bridge between PwDs and employers hiring PwDs. The platform provides geo-tagged-based information on employment/earning opportunities within private companies as well as details about PwDs from all over India. Further, the Department has taken proactive steps by establishing Memorandum of Understanding with various companies like Amazon, Youth4Jobs, Godrej Properties among others dedicated to enhance employment prospects for PwDs. Presently there are more than 3000 vacancies spanning various disabilities, thereby allowing PwDs nationwide to apply for roles aligned with their interests through the www.pmdaksh.depwd.gov.in
