Goa Mukhyamantri Sukanya Kaushal Vikas Protsahan Yojana

Scheme Introduction: A Brief Overview

The Goa Mukhyamantri Sukanya Kaushal Vikas Protsahan Yojana (MSKVPY) is a flagship initiative of the Government of Goa aimed at encouraging more girls and women to pursue technical and vocational education in Government Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs). Introduced by the Directorate of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (DSD&E) from the Academic Year 2026–27, the scheme removes a major financial barrier by providing a 100% waiver of the Government ITI tuition fee. Every eligible female candidate admitted to a Government ITI is exempted from paying the ₹2,500 tuition fee, irrespective of her social category or family income, making skill-based education more affordable and accessible.

The launch of the Goa Mukhyamantri Sukanya Kaushal Vikas Protsahan Yojana marks a significant expansion of the State's fee concession policy for ITI students. Before the introduction of this scheme, tuition fee concessions in Government ITIs were available only to selected categories such as Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), Below Poverty Line (BPL), orphan, destitute, and candidates belonging to families with an annual income of up to ₹3 lakh. With MSKVPY, the Government of Goa has extended the tuition fee waiver to all eligible female candidates, ensuring that no eligible girl is denied technical education because of financial constraints.

The scheme aims to increase female enrolment in Government ITIs, promote skill development, improve employability, and empower women through industry-oriented vocational training. It also supports the Government of Goa's vision of creating an inclusive and self-reliant workforce by encouraging women to acquire technical skills that can lead to better employment and self-employment opportunities. Since the tuition fee waiver is linked directly with the admission process, eligible candidates do not have to submit a separate application for the scheme.

Besides the Goa Mukhyamantri Sukanya Kaushal Vikas Protsahan Yojana, the Government of Goa has also introduced the Eklavya Prashikshan Yojana, which provides fee reimbursement to eligible candidates undergoing skill training. Female candidates interested in availing the Mukhyamantri Sukanya Kaushal Vikas Protsahan Yojana should apply for admission through the Goa ITI Admission Portal. For the Academic Year 2026–27, the last date to submit the online ITI admission application is 6 August 2026. Eligible candidates are advised to complete the application process well before the deadline to secure admission and avail the tuition fee waiver under the scheme.
