The second phase of the “Mukhya Mantri Yuva Kaushal Yojana (MMYKY)” 2.0 in…

State flagship skill-development / welfare schemes are often revamped and re-launched, and are then rolled out to beneficiaries in separately dated phases: an initial launch, followed later by a further intake round (a "second phase"). A question asking when a scheme's specific phase was launched is asking for that later, distinct date - not the date the overall (revamped) scheme itself first began.

The Mukhya Mantri Yuva Kaushal Yojana (MMYKY) was first launched in Rajasthan's government colleges in November 2019. It was then revamped as MMYKY 2.0 and rolled out afresh under a state government order issued in late December 2020, going live and being publicised in early 2021. The Rajasthan Skill and Livelihoods Development Corporation (RSLDC) subsequently reopened intake for a further, second phase of MMYKY 2.0, with registrations for this phase conducted in 2023 (the window was extended into the middle of that year). Since the question asks specifically for the year the second phase of MMYKY 2.0 was launched, the applicable year is 2023 - not the year the 2.0 scheme itself first began.

• 2017 predates even the original (pre-2.0) MMYKY, which only began in November 2019 - too early for any phase of the revamped 2.0 scheme to exist yet.

• 2021 marks MMYKY 2.0's own first rollout under the December 2020 government order - the initial launch of the 2.0 scheme, not its later second phase.

• 2024 falls after the documented second-phase registration window, which had already been extended and closed within 2023.

• 2023 matches RSLDC's second-phase intake window for MMYKY 2.0, confirmed by the scheme's own registration records for that year.
