The Central Apprenticeship Council (CAC) has proposed a 30% increase in stipend under the National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS) and the National Apprenticeship Training Scheme (NATS), bringing the revised stipend range to ₹6,800–₹12,300. This landmark move aims to reduce dropout rates, increase participation, and make apprenticeships a more attractive career pathway for India’s youth.

The stipend will now be adjusted every two years in alignment with the Consumer Price Index (CPI), ensuring that apprentice wages keep pace with inflation. These revisions will fall under the administrative oversight of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE).

The council introduced new definitions to streamline apprenticeship education, including “Degree Apprenticeship” and provisions for remote learning via online or blended modes. Additionally, efforts are underway to enhance accessibility for individuals with disabilities, ensuring equitable participation in vocational training programs.

India’s apprenticeship framework will soon include IT, software services, biotechnology, telecommunications, and renewable energy, helping trainees gain exposure in high-growth sectors. This expansion will increase establishment coverage, encouraging more employers to integrate apprenticeships into their workforce development strategy.

The council discussed introducing insurance coverage for apprentices during their contract period, safeguarding candidates from risks associated with workplace training.

With 43.47 lakh apprentices engaged across 51,000 establishments, India’s apprenticeship ecosystem has made significant strides. Female participation has risen to 20%, and further initiatives are being developed to increase gender diversity.

The CAC’s proposals will be forwarded to the Cabinet for final approval. Once implemented, these reforms will create a more structured, rewarding, and industry-relevant apprenticeship environment.
