The scheme will benefit the minority youths who do not have a formal school leaving certificate, i.e., those in the category of school-dropouts or educated in the community education institutions like the Madarsas, with a view to enabling them to seek better employment in the organized sector and thus to equip them for better lives. 

Scheme has been approved with the cost of Rs. 650 Crore for five years. 

The government reckons that there are more than three Lakhs madrassas across the country; each of these on an average teach at least 100 students. 

The World Bank has approved the funding of US$ 50 million.
