⚡ Key Facts at a Glance
What is the Mukhyamantri Yuva Karya Prashikshan Yojana?
Launched on 2 August 2024 by then Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, the Mukhyamantri Yuva Karya Prashikshan Yojana (CMYKPY) is Maharashtra's flagship skill-development and employment-generation scheme. It connects unemployed young people with a 6-month paid internship at a registered private company, paying a monthly stipend of ₹6,000 to ₹10,000 depending on the candidate's qualification. You can read the full state-page summary on our Yuva Karya Prashikshan Yojana Maharashtra scheme page.
The idea behind the scheme is simple but powerful: many young people in Maharashtra finish their education with a degree or diploma but no practical work experience, which makes it hard to land that first job. CMYKPY bridges this gap by placing them inside real companies for six months, paying them a stipend while they learn, and giving them a certificate at the end that they can show future employers. The state has set an ambitious target of supporting 10 lakh youth beneficiaries per year.
For example, suppose Rohan, a 24-year-old graduate from Nashik who has been job-hunting since finishing his B.Com, registers on the portal and is matched with a local services company. During his internship he would receive ₹8,000 per month for six months while gaining hands-on experience and a completion certificate. (This is a hypothetical illustration; your actual stipend depends on your qualification and on official verification.)
Stipend Amount by Qualification
| Qualification | Monthly Stipend |
|---|---|
| 10th–12th pass (ITI / Diploma) | ₹6,000/month |
| Graduate (B.A., B.Sc., B.Com etc.) | ₹8,000/month |
| Postgraduate / Engineer / MBA | ₹10,000/month |
A useful detail to understand is how the stipend is funded: the government pays 75% of the stipend and the host company pays the remaining 25%. On top of the stipend, interns are covered by ₹1 lakh accident insurance for the duration of the internship, and they receive a certificate of internship on completion.
