Abstract
The National Apprenticeship Training Scheme (NATS), established under the Apprentices Act of 1961 amended in 1973 and 2014, provides practical On-the-Job-Training (OJT) opportunities for graduates, diploma holders in engineering and technology, as well as graduates in general streams such as B.A, B.Sc., B.Com etc. The duration of apprenticeship training varies from 6 months to 3 years, aiming to equip apprentices with valuable industry experience. Serving as a bridge between theoretical education and practical application, the scheme enhances participants' employability while contributing to industrial growth. This work focuses on evaluating the NATS within the Eastern Region of the country. The evaluation comprises two key aspects: physical achievement and financial expenditure by the Government of India on this scheme. Over the chosen period of 10 years from 2013-14 to 2023-24, this study has highlighted the increasing significance of the NATS as a socially relevant initiative by the Government of India.
