SANKALP: Strengthening Skilling Institutions for India’s Future

Transforming Skill Development Through Institutional Excellence

SANKALP (Skills Acquisition and Knowledge Awareness for Livelihood Promotion) is a World Bank-assisted project launched by the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) to enhance institutional capacity, improve quality, and bring convergence in India’s skill development ecosystem.

At Sapphire Semicon, we are proud to align with SANKALP’s mission to foster institutional reform and innovation in skilling by working directly with Skill Development Missions, training providers, Sector Skill Councils (SSCs), and other key stakeholders across India.
