The Left Wing  Extremism  affected  districts  have  been  selected  as  per  notification  of  Ministry  of Home Affairs,  Government  of  India.  Total  cost  of  the  scheme  is  Rs.  407.85  crore.  The State wise coverage, details of fund allocated under the scheme are given in Annexure-I.
- (c) Respective departments of State Governments have the responsibility to implement the scheme. Some of the States have faced challenges to implement the scheme due to remoteness of the sites of institutes and incidents of insurgency.

(d) The  implementing  States,  Ministry  of  Skill  Development  &  Entrepreneurship, Ministry of Home Affairs along with Cabinet Secretary monitor and review the scheme at various Stages.

(e) Six ITIs have started functioning and admitted first batch of trainees. Apart from that 19 Skill Development Centres (SDCs) are operational at present. In the running SDCs, out of 2552 admitted trainees, 1909 have been trained and 868 trainees have been employed.

(f) There is no such scheme formulated particularly for naxal affected areas. However, in  order  to  improve  the  employability  of  youth,  Ministry  of  Labour  &  Employment  is implementing the National Career Service (NCS) Project which comprises a digital portal that  provides  a  nationwide  online  platform  for  the  job  seekers  and  employers  for  jobmatching in a dynamic, efficient and responsive manner and has a repository of career content. Apart from that, a new scheme called 'Pradhan Mantri RojgarProtsahan Yojana (PMRPY)' has been initiated by the Ministry of Labour and Employment in the year 201617 for  incentivizing  industry  for  promoting  employment  generation  with  the  allocation  of Rs.1000  crore.  Under  this  scheme  employers  are  provided  an  incentive  to  enhance employment where the Government is paying the employer's contribution of 8.33% EPS for  new  employees.  In  textiles  (apparel  and  made-ups)  sector,  the  Government  is  also paying  the  3.67%  EPF  contribution  of  employers  in  addition  to  paying  the  8.33%  EPS contribution.
