Adult Skill Assessment Survey, 2026:
India is set to conduct its first nationwide assessment of adult skill competencies in 2026 to generate crucial data for tackling workforce challenges and harnessing the demographic dividend.The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) will conduct the survey using the Comprehensive Modular Survey (CMS) framework, at the request of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE).
CMS enables the conduct of targeted, short-duration household surveys on specific topics (narrower in scope and shorter in duration) to address immediate policy needs of ministries and departments.
