Unveiling the Impact: Assessing the Effectiveness of PMKVY Scheme in Uttarakhand

Abstract

Purpose – The study of this paper is to know the Unveiling The Impact: Assessing The Effectiveness of Pmkvy Scheme In Uttarakhand.

Theoretical Framework: To measure the effectiveness of PMKVY in Uttarakhand. We use EFA and CFA techniques to identify the factors, after that we found 5 factors to measure the effectiveness of PMKVY and the factors are Employment Outcomes, Economic Impact, Training Quality, Policy Environment, and Program Innovation. These factors help our research to measure the effectiveness of PMKVY in Uttarakhand

Design/Methodology – We have taken 5 factors (Employment Outcomes, Economic Impact, Training Quality, Policy Environment, and Program Innovation) with 24 items to fulfil our research objectives. In total, 150 people filled out the questionnaire out of which 120 samples were completed and reliable. Hence the total sample size for the study was 250 who were selected randomly from people of Dehradun further, Amos and SPSS software were used to test the validity of the model and test the hypothesis.

Findings – An analysis of the PMKVY program in Uttarakhand identifies five critical areas: employment outcomes, financial outcomes, quality of training, policy environment and policy innovation. Although preliminary tests assumed equal variances, subsequent Welch ANOVA tests revealed significant differences in employment outcomes across demographic groups—age, qualification, occupation, and income per month—which affected system efficiency. However, these factors showed no significant effects on other dimensions. T-tests confirmed the general hypothesis, confirming the assumption of equal variances.
