MSDE offers certificate course in GST

The course will start from July 15 in three cities. The training programme -- conceptualised under the central government’s flagship scheme of Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) – would be conducted in Delhi, Bengaluru, and Bhopal. The course was formally announced here by MSDE Secretary K.P. Krishnan. 

It would be conducted at 100 centres across the three cities mentioned. Chartered accountants, company secretaries, graduates and post-graduates in commerce, banking, statistics, financial markets and business administration can undergo the training programme. 

“It’s a historic reform that the government has brought in. We welcome this change and will contribute to our best of efforts to align to the new regime,” Rajiv Pratap Rudy, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, said in a statement, referring to the new GST, slated to come into effect from July 1. 

“We are also happy to know that crucial subjects like education and skill development services have been granted exemption from GST, as per the decision of the GST council,” Rudy said. 

“The Centre understands the relevance of vocational education for the youths and the impact it can have on the economy. It will be a step towards improving the quality of vocational training, reduction in cost of the training and incentivising training providers for conducting NSQF (National Skills Qualifications Framework) compliant trainings,” he added.
