Based  on  the  Environment  Scan  of  2016  which  updated  the  findings  of  earlier incremental  human  resource  requirement  was  estimated  to  be    103.4  million  during 2017-2022 across 24 sectors. Sector wise details are placed at Annexure.

A  number  of  steps  have  been  taken  by  the  Government  to  meet  the  skill requirement  in  the  country.  Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY),  the flagship  scheme  of  the  Ministry  of  Skill  Development  and  Entrepreneurship  (MSDE), targets to train 1 crore candidates during 2016-2020. Initiative has also been taken to set up Model Skill Centres called Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendras (PMKKs) at district level, strengthen Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) infrastructure, promote apprenticeship through the National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme  (NAPS) launched on 19 th August 2016.

Under the Centrally Sponsored State Managed (CSSM) component of PMKVY (2016-20), 25% of the funds are allocated to the States which includes Andhra Pradesh and  Maharashtra  as  well.  A  target  of  training  (fresh  training)  4,89,152  candidates  in Maharashtra  and  1,89,101  candidates  in  Andhra  Pradesh  has  been  allocated  under PMKVY in 2016-2020.
