Key Features

Reimbursement of stipend under apprenticeship assistance scheme: This feature means that if an ESDM (Electronics System Design & Manufacturing) unit in Uttar Pradesh takes apprentices or trainees under the state’s apprenticeship assistance scheme, the unit can receive reimbursement for the stipend paid to those trainees. This reduces the cost burden of training fresh workforce and encourages active skill-absorption in the sector.
UP Skill Development Mission alignment: The policy directs that the UP Skill Development Mission be aligned specifically with the skill-requirements of the electronics manufacturing industry. This ensures that training programmes, curricula and infrastructure match what ESDM companies need, helping both the industry and trainees.
Augmentation with MeitY budget: The scheme specifies that skill development in the ESDM sector will be augmented using funding allocated by the central Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY). This means that units may benefit from combined state and central support for electronics-specific skills.
24×7 operations and women employment in all shifts: As an encouragement for modern shifts and inclusive workforce, the policy allows units to operate round the clock and specifically supports employment of women in all three shifts. This gives flexibility to units and helps harness broader talent availability in women employees.
