The skill development scam refers to a fraudulent scheme involving the misappropriation of funds and manipulation of contracts in the context of skill development programs. In this scam, individuals or organizations may exploit government initiatives aimed at enhancing the skills of the workforce for personal gain, rather than genuinely contributing to the development of skills in the population.
One example of a skill development scam is the alleged involvement of Chandrababu Naidu, the former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, India, in a scam related to the Andhra Pradesh Skill Development Corporation (APSDC). The allegations against Naidu and others in this case include manipulating contracts, misappropriating public money, and orchestrating a fraudulent scheme.
