## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SHRI RAM KRIPAL YADAV)

(a): Yes, Madam. RSETI is a three-way partnership amongst Government of India, State Government and participating lead Banks in a district. Banks establish and run the RSETIs by deputing experienced Bank Officers as Directors of RSETIs. Ministry of Rural Development supports the training expenses of rural poor candidates trained in RSETIs and funds upto Rs.1 crore  per  RSETI  for  construction  cost  of  building.  In  many  States,  RSETIs  have  been supported by the State Government through allocation of land for their buildings. At present there are 586 RSETIs in the country with 31 participating Banks.

(b): RSETIs provide training in Agriculture, Process, Product and General Entrepreneurship Development Programmes (EDP) including 56 National Skill Qualification Framework  aligned  courses.  The  State-wise  number  of  candidates  trained  under  RSETI during the last three years and current year (upto November 2017) is given in Annexure.

- (c): Yes, Madam.
- (d): Details of total candidates settled under self-employment in the last three years and current year (upto November 2017) is as below:
- (e): In order to ensure employability of trained candidates, RSETI training emphasises on development of soft skills in addition to domain skills. Further, each RSETI provides handholding  support  to  the  trained  candidates  for  a  period  of  two  years  from  the  date  of completion  of  training  to  assist  in  their  settlement.  Since  the  RSETIs  are  administered  by Banks, willing and eligible candidates are provided credit linkage, including credit facilities under PM Mudra Yojana.
