The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) has formally recognised 19 reputed institutions as Centres of Excellence-Skills (CoE-Skills). According to the ministry, Certificates of Recognition were presented by MSDE Secretary Debashree Mukherjee during a ceremony at Kaushal Bhawan in New Delhi. The recognition is valid from 9 October 2026 to 8 October 2029.
The institutions were empanelled through the Green Channel under the Guidelines for Empanelment of Centres of Excellence-Skills and Vocational Training Centres. This mechanism offers an expedited approval route for eligible institutions of established standing, such as Institutes of National Importance and Central or State-operated skilling centres, without undergoing the regular evaluation process.
What it means
- The recognition for the 19 empanelled institutions is valid from 9 October 2026 to 8 October 2029.
- Empanelled Centres may be leveraged for skill development initiatives of MSDE, other Central Ministries, State Governments, industry, CSR initiatives and other stakeholders, subject to applicable programme guidelines.
