Adani Skills & Education (ASE), the skill development arm of the Adani Group, today announced the launch of Karma Shiksha, Work-Study Diploma Program, under the National Council for Vocational Education & Training (NCVET), Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE).
Karma Shiksha is designed to empower Class 10 and 12 pass students (all streams) as well as ITI graduates from across India by offering them industry-integrated, job-ready education. The program combines classroom learning with hands-on industry experience across Adani’s core sectors – Ports, Power, Solar Manufacturing, Green Energy, and Logistics.
India has one of the world’s youngest populations, with more than 50% of citizens below the age of 25. However, many students after school or ITI do not get access to professional, job-ready training. That is why a mix of classroom and workplace learning, like Karma Shiksha, is important. It bridges the gap between learning and earning.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, said, “With Karma Shiksha, we are taking a transformative step to provide them not just with education, but with practical skills that open pathways to opportunity. This initiative embodies our philosophy of Hum Karke Dikhate Hai — turning intent into action, vision into reality — and empowering a new generation to meaningfully contribute to the creation of a Viksit Bharat.”
Experts believe that India needs millions of skilled workers in logistics, renewable energy, and port operations in the coming decade. Reports show that by 2030, green energy and logistics alone could provide nearly 10 million new jobs in India. Such programs will prepare young students to enter these growing fields.
The focus on a stipend is especially important because financial challenges often stop students from continuing their education. Through the earn-while-you-learn model, young learners can support their families and still complete their studies. Similar models in countries like Germany, known as the dual system, have shown very high success rates in employability.
With Karma Shiksha, students will benefit from an earn-while-you-learn model, ensuring financial independence during their education. The diploma is nationally recognised and offers direct pathways into employment as well as higher studies, enabling students to build sustainable, long-term careers.
According to a survey by India Skills Report, over 45% of graduates in India are still considered unemployable due to a lack of practical training. Programs like Karma Shiksha directly address this gap by ensuring every learner has real-world industry experience.
Commenting on the launch, Mr Robin Bhowmik, CEO, Adani Skills & Education, said, “Karma Shiksha is more than a diploma – it is a gateway to opportunity. With Skill2Employ as our guiding framework, we are ensuring that every skill leads to employment and every learner becomes a contributor to India’s growth story. By integrating academics with workplace learning, we are creating a robust pipeline of industry-ready professionals for a future-ready India.”
The launch of Karma Shiksha reinforces Adani Skills & Education’s commitment to skill-building, employability, and education excellence. By aligning with NCVET and working closely with industries, ASE is creating a scalable model of skill-based, job-integrated education that will redefine vocational training in India.
This step also supports the government’s vision under the Skill India Mission, which aims to train over 400 million Indians in various skills by 2025. With big industry groups like Adani working in partnership with NCVET and MSDE, such goals are more achievable. For students, this means not just jobs but career growth and the chance to be part of India’s big infrastructure and green energy push.
