In a move aimed at encouraging individuals to undertake apprenticeship and do away with delays in release of stipends, the government will directly transfer 25% of the stipend payable up to ₹1,500 per apprentice per month under the new National Apprenticeship Scheme instead of routing it through establishments under the erstwhile National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS).
The stipend, however, will be paid after the establishment pays its share of 75% to the beneficiary. Under the new scheme, the ministry will also undertake capacity building of the apprenticeship ecosystem and provide advocacy assistance to support rapid growth of apprenticeship in India, a senior government official said.
