As India moves undeviating towards becoming a global knowledge economy, it must meet the rising hope of its youth. Skill development has a pivotal role in this highly competitive world in order to cater to the aspirations of its young population. The objective of this article focuses on the skill development programmes under the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY) scheme and the various factors affecting skill development programmes and employability and finally to conclude whether DDU-GKY scheme is effective in Kancheepuram district. The data for the research was collected from the PIAs in Kancheepuram District. The total population of the study is 1856, out of which 154 sample respondents were chosen using simple random sampling. The statistical tools used were Kruskal Wallis test, One way ANOVA, Chi Square test, Mann Whitney U test and One sample t test. The major findings of the study were Skill mismatch and mobilizations have serious impact on the skill development programmes under DDU-GKY scheme, followed by infrastructure. Also domain knowledge and communication has found to have major importance on employability of the respondents. Based on the analysis, Mobilization has a very serious impact on the effectiveness of the scheme.
