The National Skill Development Corporation launched the NSDC Innovations for Skills Challenge 2014 (NISC 2014) in August 2014 to identify and support sustainable and scalable entities that will positively impact and create a multiplier effect in the skill development space.

The NISC 2014 received an overwhelming response with 172 applications from different parts of India. All applications went through a rigorous review at multiple levels. 34 entities with diverse solutions impacting the skill development ecosystem were selected for the final round. An expert jury evaluated all 34 entities on 2 separate days in Bangalore and Delhi.

Based on this robust process, NSDC is happy to announce the list of 14 winners (in no particular order) which have been shortlisted to go through the NSDC investment process.
