📢 Main Story: NSDC Partners with Meta to Offer AR/VR Training
In a transformative move for India’s education and skill development landscape, the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) has announced a strategic partnership with Meta (formerly Facebook) to provide cutting-edge Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) training programs. This initiative aims to equip Indian youth with the next generation of digital and immersive technology skills, unlocking doors to futuristic career opportunities across sectors.
🚀 A Step Toward the Future of Work
With India aiming to become a global skill hub under the Skill India Mission, this partnership represents a significant leap in aligning youth training with global industry standards. AR/VR is no longer confined to gaming or entertainment—it’s becoming mainstream in healthcare, education, manufacturing, real estate, and more.
The joint program will offer:
- Hands-on training in AR/VR development
- Use of cutting-edge hardware and software platforms
- Certification recognized by both NSDC and Meta
- Real-world projects and employment support
The collaboration supports the broader Digital India vision by helping students, job seekers, and entrepreneurs gain relevant tech expertise for the emerging metaverse economy.
📊 Why This Matters: Stats & Trends
According to NASSCOM, India will need over 20 million digitally skilled professionals by 2025. AR/VR, as part of the extended reality (XR) spectrum, is one of the fastest-growing skill sectors.

- In India, demand for AR/VR developers has grown by over 140% year-on-year

This partnership between NSDC and Meta is designed to bridge the gap between demand and supply, especially among youth from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, where access to advanced tech education remains limited.

The training is open to:
- Students (Class 12+)
- IT and engineering graduates
- Startups and entrepreneurs
- Working professionals looking to reskill
The initiative will be offered through NSDC’s Skill India Digital Hub and through selected Skill India training partners across the country. A mix of online and offline modules will ensure accessibility and scalability.
