We hope to help NSDC bridge the existing gap of skills supply by educating our users about their initiatives," said Nitin Saluja, director, public policy, TikTok.
NSDC aims to promote skill development by catalysing creation of large, quality and for-profit vocational institutions. Through TikTok’s community, the government body aims to skill large number of youth with scale, speed and high standards to achieve the vision of 'Skill India'.
