The Tamil Nadu government introduced the Naan Mudhalvan programme in March 2022. It is a dedicated initiative to provide effective and comprehensive guidance to government school students on career development and higher education.
The Tamil Nadu government further launched the Naan Mudhalvan Upskilling Platform to develop skills and provide dynamic information to college students on various courses and industry-specific skills. This programme assists Tamil Nadu students in getting training in their preferred field of interest, which will help them achieve their career objectives.
Background of the Naan Mudhalvan Scheme
Tamil Nadu is highly renowned for a strong educational infrastructure, still; it suffers from the lacuna of matching academic production to industrial requirements. Many students suffer from a situation where graduates are made unemployable because their skills do not match the requirements of the job market. The Naan Mudhalvan Scheme bridges this gap by integrating skill development with mainstream education. The initiative reflects the commitment of the state government to proactive governance and social equity, ensuring that every student, irrespective of their socio-economic background, has access to quality training and career guidance.
