The National Action Plan for Skill Development of Persons with Disabilities (NAP-SDP) is a devoted ability growth program aimed toward offering high-quality vocational coaching for Persons with Disabilities (PwDs). The major goals of this scheme are to reinforce the abilities of PwDs by means of high quality vocational coaching, enabling them to achieve significant employment, and to empower them to turn out to be self-reliant and contributing members of society.

The coaching packages should be aligned with the National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF) and accredited by the National Council for Vocational Education and Training (NCVET).
