In a move to bridge the skill gap and boost employability, the Maharashtra government launched the “Ladka Bhau Yojana” in July 2024. This state-funded apprenticeship program aims to equip 10 lakh young men with real-world job experience while addressing industry needs for skilled workers.
The initiative offers a unique combination of practical training and financial assistance. Participants undergo a six-month program in either industrial or non-industrial settings, gaining valuable hands-on experience. To incentivize participation, the government provides a monthly stipend based on educational qualifications:
