## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP (SHRI ANANTKUMAR HEGDE)

(a) and (b) Ministry  of  Skill  Development  and  Entrepreneurship  is  implementing flagship  scheme  known  as  Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY)  on  panIndia basis. PMKVY enables large number of prospective youth for taking Short Term Training  (STT)  and  Recognition  of  Prior  Learning  (RPL)  through  accredited  and affiliated training providers/training centers (TPs/TCs).

Under  PMKVY  2016-20,  the  registration  of  TP/TC  for  their  accreditation  and affiliation is being done under single window IT application known as SMART. SMART provides a transparent, unified and one-stop-solution to the training providers mandating  time  bound  delivery  of  accreditation  and  affiliation  of  TPs/TCs.  Under PMKVY 2016-20, 84 operational TCs are in the State of Jharkhand.

Under PMKVY 2016-20, till now, 40,620 candidates have been trained including undergoing training (Short Term Training and Recognition of Prior Learning) in the State of Jharkhand.

(c) and (d) Under  PMKVY  2016-20,  focus  on  employment  has  been  significantly enhanced. TCs/TPs are mandated to organize placement/rozgar melas every six month with the support of Sector Skill Council. Additionally, scheme incentivizes TCs/TPs for facilitating placement of the trained candidates as per table below:

| Placement Percentage   | Amount Per Candidate   |
|------------------------|------------------------|
| 71-85%                 | 3000/-                 |
| 86% & More             | 5000/-                 |

Also, the reimbursement of last 20% of training cost to TCs would be made only after wage employment or self employment to at least 70% of the trained candidates. Also, there is a special provision in the scheme to provide post placement support to women, PwDs and candidates from special areas (LWE, North East region and J&K).

Further, under PMKVY 2016-20, placement data of candidates is captured on the Skill  Development  Management  System  (SDMS)  on  monthly  basis.  SDMS  does  not allow uploading the data of the preceding month, until the placement data of previous month is not updated. Placement guidelines of PMKVY 2016-2020 mandates to upload the data of each candidate for a minimum period of 3 months, and maximum period of 12 months.  All such data captured on the SDMS is monitored regularly by NSDC and necessary action is taken recurrently.
