Posted On: 30 MAR 2026 4:01PM by PIB Delhi SIDH has been integrated with the e-Shram portal to enable convergence and support for upskilling of registered workers. Through this integration, e-Shram beneficiaries can access skilling opportunities available on SIDH. The integration is implemented at the national level, including beneficiaries across States such as Odisha, Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh. The details of beneficiaries who are registered on e-Shram portal and have enrolled in courses on SIDH, State/UT-wise and district-wise, are given in Annexure-I and Annexure-II, respectively. Skill India Assistant (SIA) is an AI-powered WhatsApp chatbot integrated with the Skill India Digital Hub (SIDH), to enhance personalized access to skilling and employment-related services. SIA leverages conversational AI built on Meta’s open-source LLaMA (Large Language Model) to provide tailored course recommendations, nearby training center discovery, job opportunities aligned with user skills, and interactive support such as quizzes and doubt resolution. SIA is accessible via WhatsApp, enabling users to interact through text or voice in English, Hindi, and Hinglish, and is available 24/7 to ensure continuous support. Its WhatsApp-based deployment ensures wider outreach by allowing access through basic smartphones without the need for high-speed internet or additional applications. SIDH provides the facility for issuance of Digitally Verifiable Credentials in compliance with open standards to ensure authenticity and tamper-proof certification. These credentials can be securely shared and verified by stakeholders, thereby enhancing trust and portability of Indian youth credentials. The SIDH platform has been integrated with Bhashini, and 22 regional languages have been onboarded to enhance accessibility and promote inclusive digital education and skilling. Regional language features have been integrated into the platform to support diverse linguistic communities. Jobs are fetched on the Skill India Digital Hub (SIDH) on the Job Exchange page from the National Career Service (NCS) Portal of the Ministry of Labour and Employment and the JobX Portal of NSDC, and may also include job postings from MSMEs. Therefore, the hiring of certified talent takes place on NCS and JobX portals respectively.
