NSDC Faces Scrutiny Amidst Misappropriation Allegations
Imagine a group that's supposed to help people learn new job skills.
This group, called the NSDC, is now in trouble.
The government has asked the police to investigate, as some people at the NSDC are suspected of doing things they shouldn't have, like possibly taking money they weren't supposed to.
This comes after the CEO was fired.
The NSDC has also been criticized before for problems with how it's run and whether the training it gives is good enough.
The group has a big job: to help 150 million people learn new skills, but recent problems make it hard to believe they can reach that goal.
The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship filed a complaint against NSDC officials.
The complaint alleges misappropriation at NSDC.
The Delhi Police is investigating the matter.
Concerns have been raised about the quality of training and employment prospects.
A 2015 CAG report highlighted issues in governance at the NSDC.
