Free short-term skill training with a certificate

PMKVY, under the Skill India mission, offers short-term skill training at approved training centres in trades such as electronics, retail, healthcare, construction and information technology, and gives a government-recognised certificate. Training has generally been free, with an assessment at the end and help with placement in some cases. Look up training centres and courses on the Skill India Digital portal. Courses, funding and the phase of the scheme change, so check what is open now.
