(a) to (d) The vision of the Skill India is to fulfill the growing need for skill manpower across sectors and narrow the existing gap between demand and supply of skills with a target of skilling 104 million fresh entrants to workforce by 2022, in addition to upskilling /reskilling approximately 298 million amongst those already in workforce. The Ministry of Skill  Development  and  Entrepreneurship  (MSDE)  along  with  21  other  Ministries  / Departments  had  achieved  total  skilling  of  1.04  crore  persons  in  2015-16,  which  is 36.8% more than that in 2014-15. In addition, there are a number of schemes for skilling being implemented directly by the States,  which is not part of the central compilation referred  to  above.  Further,  some  amount  of  skill  development  is  also  done  by  the industry especially for their own workforce. The States have been implementing these schemes with varied degree of success, with few performing much better than others. However,  Pradhan  Mantri  kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY),  which  is  the  flagship programme  of  skilling  was  directly  implemented  by  MSDE  through  the  National  Skill development  Corporation(NSDC).  Further,  the  Government  has  decided  to  skill  one crore persons with an outlay of Rs. 12000 crore over a period of 4 years form 2016-17 to  2019-20  out  of  which  25%  of  the  financial  target  will  be  implemented  through  the States and UTs amounting to an allocation of Rs.3000 crores and remaining through the NSDC.
