(a) to (b) Government  is  implementing  flagship  scheme  namely  Pradhan  Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) and Pradhan Mantri YUVA  Yojana for skill development and  entrepreneurship in the country.

PMKVY is a flagship Skill Certification Scheme (2016-20) which enables a large number  of  Indian youth to take up industry-relevant skill training for securing employment and a better livelihood under three key components namely; fresh training, Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and special project.The objective of this Scheme is to encourage and promote Skill Development by aligning itself with the Common Norms in  terms  of  ensuring  standardization  and  consistency  in  the  structure  of  skill  training across  India.    The  salient  features  of  the  scheme  includes  NSQF  based  quality assurance  framework,  market  relevant  training  programmes,  recognition  of  prior learning, curriculum alignment, national certification, employable skills, placements etc. This scheme promotes inclusivity with the objective to safeguard the skilling needs of SCs/STs,  OBCs,  differently  abled  persons  as  well  as  living  in  difficult  geographical pockets.  Till  now,  about  19.8  lakhs  (about  18  lakhs  candidates  under  Fresh  training and  about  1.8  lakhs  under  RPL)  candidates  have  completed  skill  training.  State/UTwise details of beneficiaries under PMKVY are given at Annexure-I.

Government is recently launched a Pradhan Mantri YUVA Scheme (PM-YUVA) on  09.11.2016  which  aims  to  address  the  components  namely  Educate  And  Equip Potential  And  Early  Stage  Entrepreneurs,  Connect  Entrepreneurs  To  Networks  Of Ideas,  Mentors  and  Funding,  Coordinate  and  Support  Government,  Entrepreneurship Schemes and Social Entrepreneurship.

- (c ) Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY)  has  been  approved  by  the Union Cabinet with an outlay of Rs.12,000 crore to impart skilling to one crore people over four years (2016-2020). Government has decided to implement the said scheme along with State under two funding mechanisms such as 75% of the  total funds shall be  available  to  MSDE  for  skilling  through  National  Skill  Development  Corporation (NSDC) under Centrally Sponsored Centrally Managed (CSCM) and 25% of the funds shall  be  directly  allocated  to  the  States  under  Centrally  Sponsored  State  Managed (CSSM). The actual release will depend upon submission of projects by State and its timely  implementation.  The  State/UT-wise  details  of  funds  allocated  under  PMKVY (2016-20) under CSCM is given at Annexure -II.

The total cost of Pradhan Mantri YUVA Scheme (PM-YUVA) for five years (201617 to 2020-21) is Rs.499.94 crore. Under this scheme no funds have been released to the States/UTs.

(d)     PMKVY scheme has been successfully implemented during 2015-16.  For making more effective, transparent and beneficiary oriented, the guidelines of the scheme  have been modified and being implemented for 4 years from 2016-2020. Modification of the scheme  was  done  on  the  basis  of  plethora  of  suggestions  received  from  various stakeholders.  In  order  to  enhance transparency  and  build  accountability,  changes in the area of center validation, job roles, trainee handbooks, certificate, attendance and finance  have  been  incorporated.    Various  IT  interventions  such  as  Direct  Benefit Transfer, Aadhaar linkage of trainers and trainees, Biometric attendance of candidate etc  have been ensured. The assessment agency would adopt various methodologies such as self-audit reporting, call validations, surprise visits, and continuous monitoring through  the  Skills  Development  Management  System  (SDMS).  Scheme  discourages franchises and encourages the standalone TCs to voluntary disclose the features and achievements  of  their  training  programmes,  such  as  TC  infrastructure,  number  of trainees trained, passed, certified, placed, and their placement details, on social media (Facebook  and  Twitter)  on  periodical  basis  as  a  part  of  the  Performance  Standards Metrics.  The  grading  points  are  allocated  on  the  basis  of  achievements  of  such parameters and further the level of targets are linked to achievements of grades

Under good governance initiative, Ministry reviews periodically the performance of  scheme  with  respect  to  redressal  public  grievances/complaints.  Under  Citizen  centric Centralised Public grievances Redress Monitoring System (CPGRAM), Ministry takes  up  various  grievances/  complaints  with  paramount  importance  and  redress/ resolve them in coordination with NSDC and other agencies effectively and efficiently under intimation to complainants.

(e) Advertising  and  Branding  are  important  aspect  of  communicating  the  Scheme accurately.  All  the  TCs  need  to  brand  their  centers  and  promotional  activities  in accordance  with  the  Guidelines.  The  TCs  shall  also  promote  activities  conducted  at their centers on various social media platforms. The Communications Guidelines of the Scheme has been issued separately. TCs are mandated to conduct Kaushal Mela- a camp-based approach- for building awareness and enrolling suitable candidates. Such camps not  only  disseminate  information  about  various  skill  training  options  available under the scheme, but also outline the possible career paths and income generation potential once the training is imparted.
