(a) and (b) The  National  Skill  Development  Corporation  (NSDC)  got  conducted  a study  on  Human  Resource  and  Skill  Requirement  of  24  high  priority  sectors  in  2013 through engaging  KPMG (KPMG Advisory Services Pvt. Ltd.). Based on this study, the projected human resources requirement by 2022 was 581.89 million, compared to 461.1 million in 2013. The projected incremental demand for human resources for 24 sectors was  therefore  120.79  million.  Considering  overlaps  in  human  resource  requirements across multiple sectors, the unique number for incremental demand is 109.7 million by 2022,  wherein  top  10  sectors  account  for  80%  of  the  requirement. The  summary  of findings of the report is at ANNEXURE I.

(c) and (d) National  Policy  for  Skill  Development  and  Entrepreneurship,  2015  takes note of the challenge before the Nation and provides a roadmap to meet the challenge by skilling at scale and speed with standards across the country.  Further, the Skill India initiative  is  a  shared  responsibility  of  multiple  stakeholders  including  the  Central Government,  State  Governments,  Industry,  private  organisations  involved  in  training etc.  Each one of the stakeholders has been contributing towards meeting the challenge of Skill India.

Under  the  Central  Government,  there  are  over  twenty  Ministries/Departments, which  are  involved  in  delivering  various  skill  development  programmes  across  the country.    As  a  combined  effort  of  all  these  Central  Ministries/Departments,  a  total  of 90.7 lakh youth were trained during 2016-17. Further, the Ministry of Skill Development and  Entrepreneurship  has  launched  the  flagship  programme  of  skilling,  namely, Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY)  for  imparting  short-term  training  to 60 lakh youth and Recognition of Prior Learning for 40 lakh youth across the country over a period  of  2016-20.    The  programme  is  being  implemented  with  active collaboration of State Governments, wherein 25% of the physical and financial targets are being met directly through the State Governments.  In this context, a physical target of  64,608 number of youth to be trained under PMKVY-2016-20 with an allocation of Rs.94.74  Crore  has  been  sanctioned  for  the  State  of  Andhra  Pradesh.    Similarly,  a physical target of 1,67,127 number of youth with a financial allocation of Rs.257.32 Crore has been approved for the State of Maharashtra under PMKVY-201620.    In  addition,  44,604  and  41,372  youth  have  already  been  trained  under  PMKVY 2016-20 in Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra respectively under the central component of the scheme.
