## (SHRI VIJAY GOEL)

- (a) and (b):  Yes,  Madam.    The  structure  of  programmes  of  Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan (NYKS) is revised from time to time, so  that  NYKS  can  effectively  meet  the  basic  objective  of developing  the  personality  and  leadership  qualities  of  the youth  and  involving  them  in  nation-building  activities.  The feedback  of  field  functionaries  is  taken  into  account  while revising  the  programmes.  An  Annual  Action  Plan  is  prepared every year and programmes are implemented as per the Plan.
- (c):    State/  UT-wise  details  of  funds  provided  by  NYKS  to  its  field offices and expenditure reported  during  current year and last three years are  placed  at Annexure -I.
- (d): Yes,  evaluation  of  NYKS  was  entrusted  to  an  independent evaluation agency during 2014-15 by the Ministry. The deficiencies identified and recommendations by the evaluating agency are summarised and are placed at Annexure -II.
- (e): As  mentioned  earlier,  the  primary  mandate  of  NYKS  is  to develop the personality and leadership qualities of the youth, especially village youth and to involve them in nation-building activities. Implementation of employment-oriented programmes is not the mandate of NYKS. However, development  of  personality  and  leadership  qualities  of  youth improves their employability as well.

ANNEXURE-II ANNEXURE -REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PART (d) OF THE LOK SABHA UNSTARRED Q.NO. 1163  FOR  09.02.2017  ASKED  BY  SHRI  BAHADUR  SINGH  KOLI  AND  SHRI  B.  SRIRAMULU REGARDING NEHRU YUVA KENDRA SANGATHAN.

The  deficiencies  identified  and  recommendations  by  the  evaluating  agency  are summarised as under:

1.  Lack of manpower.
2.  Lack of Funds to implement the programmes in an effective manner. The  budget  allocation  for  Skill  Upgradation  Training  Programme  is quite inadequate.
3.  Improve Record maintenance.
4.  Committees  formed  at  different  level  need  to  be  active  and  wellinformed.
5.  Monitoring  of  programme  through  external  agencies  and  separate fund for monitoring to be earmarked.
6.  Increase in honorarium of NYC volunteers.

Recommendations  of  the  Evaluation  Agency  were  accepted  by  the Government and the following remedial steps have been taken:

-  The issue of filling up of large number of vacant posts has been taken up by NYKS. The filling up of vacant posts will be through appointment by (a) Direct Recruitment, (b) Deputation, (c) appointment on Compassionate  ground,  (d)  Direct  Recruitment  from  the  reserved quota for the Persons with Disabilities (PWD) and (e) re-deployment of retired District Youth Coordinators (DYC).
-  As per the recommendations of Evaluation Study, the budget for Skill Up-gradation  Training  Programmes  (SUTP)  had  been  enhanced during 2016-17.
-  Honorarium of NYC  volunteers has also been increased from Rs.2500/- per month to Rs.5000/- per month.
-  District and State Level Committees have been formed to monitor and supervise the Nehru Yuva Kendras.
