- (a) Ministry  of  Skill  Development  and  Entrepreneurship  is  implementing  two  flagship schemes known as Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) and Pradhan Mantri Kaushal  Kendra  (PMKK)  on  pan  -India  basis  to  cover  the  prospective  youths.  Under PMKK,  Ministry  is  promoting  establishment  of  model  aspirational  skill  centres  in  every district for imparting skill training through PMKVY. As on 22.12.2017, 527 Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendras (PMKKs) have been allocated across 27 states covering 484 Districts and  406  Parliamentary  Constituencies  (PCs).  Out  of  which,  328  PMKKs  have  been established.  Out  of  the  36  Districts  in  Maharashtra,  PMKKs  have  been  allocated  in  28 Districts. State-wise list of allocated PMKKs is given at Annexure I .
- (b) to (e) As  on  December  27,  2017, 56  PMKKs  including  the  PMKKs  in  districts of Ratnagiri and Shindhudurg of Maharashtra, have been de-allocated for various reasons namely;  Training  Providers  (TPs)  were  unable  to  identify  the  suitable  location  as  per PMKK  Guidelines,  TPs  requested  to  withdraw  due  to  the  inadequate  financial  and operational  bandwidth  to  implement  the  project,  Non-adherence  to  the  timeline  of  the project as per the PMKK Agreement etc. District/PC wise de-allocation of PMKKs, as on 27.12.2017, is given at Annexure-II .

De-allocation of PMKKs in some districts has not defeated the purpose of PMKVY as out of the total target allocation of 25 lakhs under PMKVY 2016-20, till date, a target of 5 lakh has been allocated to PMKKs for training under the scheme. Further, Proposal has been invited for these de-allocated / un-allocated PMKK centers from the market through Request for Proposal (RFP) dated 12 th September 2017.
