## DISCONTINUING OF PMKVY

## † 3787. DR. RAMESH POKHRIYAL 'NISHANK':

## Will  the  Minister  of  SKILL  DEVELOPMENT  AND  ENTREPRENEURSHIP  be pleased to state:

- (a) whether the Ministry proposes to discontinue PMKVY in some States of the country including Uttar Pradesh and Haryana and if so, the details and the reasons therefor;

- (c) the steps taken by the Government to deal with the complaints regarding granting admission to the same students in various skill development programmes?

## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP (SHRI RAJIV PRATAP RUDY)

- (a) After reviewing of Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), it was observed that target allocation has crossed the State and Sectoral ceiling of targets in case of few States and Sectors. The aberration caused because of this, resulted in a temporary hold on target allocation in few States including the State of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. The high  inflow  of  franchise  centre  in  skill  ecosystem  has  led  to  sectoral  skewness  in  the allocation  of  targets.  As  per  PMKVY  (2016-20)  guidelines  only  first  level  franchising  is allowed with lower priority and it would be gradually phased out.
- (b) and (c) Under  PMKVY  2016-20,  the  focus  on  employment  has  been  significantly enhanced. The Scheme has provision for Skill Development Management System (SDMS) to  monitor  and  track  details  of  the  trainees  like  their  name,  personal  details,  location, course  taken,  post  placement  details.  This  also  helps  in  prevention  of  duplication  of candidates.  The  last  20%  payment  to  training  partners  would  be  made  only  after Employment (both wage and self) on an annual basis of at least 70% of the successfully certified candidates within three months of completion of training, with at least 50% of the trainees  passing  out  being  placed  in  wage  employment.    The  Government  of  India  has launched the National Labour Market Information System (LMIS) on the 15th July 2016. The database of all training is also being aggregated under LMIS to improve monitoring and prevent duplication etc.
