It was to be done through the National Skill Development Corporation. The budget allocated to the Yojana was around 1500 crore. The government planned to target class 10 and class 12 dropouts and lower-income groups and impart skills training to 24 lakh youth. The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship took three months to formulate the plan and its implementation started by June 2015. The scheme rolled out from the state of Bihar. On July 15th, the scheme was launched nationwide.
