## ANSWER

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

(a)  and (b) Yes Madam. The Government of India is implementing flagship scheme known  as  Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY)  (2016-20)  for  the  skill development in the  country.  Government  has  decided to  implement  the  said  scheme alongwith  States  under  two  components  known  as  Centrally  Sponsored  Centrally Managed  (CSCM)  and  Centrally  Sponsored  State  Managed  (CSSM).  Under  CSCM, 75% of the PMKVY funds shall be directly available to this Ministry for skilling through National  Skill  Development  Corporation  (NSDC).  Under  CSSM, 25%  of  the  funds  of PMKVY shall be allocated to the States.

Under PMKVY-State engagement scheme, the allocation of skilling targets and funds amongst the states has been done on the basis of four parameters namely State Population in the age group (15 to 35 years), Human Development Index (HDI) of the State, Unemployment  Percentage  of  the  State  and  State  wise  Skill  Gaps  identified through  NSDC studies.  Under  this  scheme,  the  mandatory  employment  supports  are provided  to  the  candidates  who  successfully  complete  skill  training.  The  last  20% payments  to  the  training  partners  would  be  made  only  made  after  wage/  self employment to atleast 70% of the successfully trained candidates is secured.

- (c) and (d). Yes Madam. Some State Governments/ Union Territories have established  State  Skill  Development  Missions  (SSDM)  to  implement/  coordinate  skill development  activities  in  the  State.  Out  of  34  States/  UTs  26  States/  UTs  have established SSDMs. The State/ UT wise list of SSDMs are at Annexure I.
