In light of the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax in 2017, NSDC and the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) collaborated to train over 1,00,000 people as GST experts to help the corporate sector with accounts work.[3] The NSDC has trained more than 5.2 million students, and it has also created 235 private sector partnerships and 38 Sector Skill Councils (SSC) in various industries.[2]

Projects and collaborations

It is estimated that by 2022 India will need an additional 104 million people in the workforce with a further 298 million requiring upgrade in training.[4] To address this NSDC has started skill development initiatives in North East India, with a target of training 240,000 people in 2017–18.

NSDC has also partnered with Amazon's "meri saheli" initiative to improve the digital literacy of women.[5] Together with Google India, it has launched a program to train people on mobile development, via a 100-hour course to be delivered though partner agencies.[6]

NSDC also signed a collaboration with the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs to train people within CSR, corporate governance, business innovation, e-governance and other skills.[7] Other partners include the Adani Foundation,[8] Uber and Maruti.[9] On July 8, 2020, NSDC and Microsoft announced their partnership which will provide digital learning to over 1 lakh people in 12 months of time. This program will cover a wide range of skills learning; from basic level of digital information to advanced digital skills and technological knowledge.[10]
