Under the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) has collaborated with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati to establish the Daksh Gurukul Skill Academy. This initiative aims to offer credit-linked programs in contemporary skills to the youth. The academy was officially inaugurated during a roundtable discussion on "Capacity Building for Implementing the New Education Policy and National Credit Framework" held at IIT Guwahati, with moderation by NSDC.

The discussion centred on the comprehensive approach of empowering students with new-age employability skills by seamlessly integrating credits into mainstream degrees through credit transfer facilitated by the Academic Bank of Credit (ABC) under the National Credit Framework (NCrF).

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. B Kalyan Chaudhary, Principal Secretary, Skill Development, Government of Assam said “Transformative programs offered under Daksh Gurukul-IITG holds immense potential in democratizing the excellence of IIT education for masses and equipping them with the necessary skills in today’s evolving job market. The credit linkage flexibility of these programs ensures that every student’s learning is duly recognized, without imposing any extra burden. I am certain that the partnership will benefit the students of Assam immensely setting a precedence for smooth nationwide adoption of National Education Policy (NEP)”.
