## ANSWER

## MINISTER IN THE MINISTRY OF SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP (SHRI DHARMENDRA PRADHAN)

(a) to (d) 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 12.02.2018, 527 Pradhan Mantri  Kaushal  Kendras  (PMKKs)  have  been  allocated  across  27  states  covering  484 Districts  and  406  Parliamentary  Constituencies  (PCs).  Out  of  which,  370  PMKKs  have been  established.  Out  of  the  33  Districts  in  Gujarat,  PMKKs  have  been  allocated  in  29 Districts. State-wise list of allocated PMKKs is given at Annexure I .

As  on  December  27,  2017, 56  PMKKs  including  the  PMKKs  in  State  of  Gujarat, 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,  Nonadherence 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 there are many other 4 Star and 5 Star accredited training centres in the country which are imparting PMKVY training across the country. Moreover, Proposal has been invited for these  de-allocated  /  un-allocated  PMKK  centers  from  the  market  through  Request  for Proposal (RFP) dated 12th September 2017.
