Skill Development in Bihar: The Impact of Kushal Yuva Program

Bihar has long been known for its youthful population and strong academic culture. However, employability has often remained a challenge due to limited access to practical and industry-relevant skills. To bridge this gap, the Government of Bihar launched the Kushal Yuva Program (KYP) — a flagship initiative aimed at making young people job-ready, especially for opportunities in metro cities.

Let’s explore how this program is changing the face of skill development in Bihar.
