## ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SHRI RAM KRIPAL YADAV)

(a)& (b): Ministry  of  Rural  Development  is  implementing  two  skill  development schemes for rural poor youth under the National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM) - Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY) and Skill development in Rural Self Employment Training Institute (RSETI). Rural poor youths in naxal affected areas are eligible for both the schemes, including in Madhya Pradesh.

DDU-GKY skills  candidates  for  regular  wage  employment.  Further,  under  DDU-GKY,  a special initiative called Roshni is being implemented for rural youth in 27 most-affected Leftwing Extremist (LWE) districts across 9 States, which includes Balaghat district of Madhya Pradesh. A Roshni project requires coverage of 40% women candidates (as against 33% in a regular  DDU-GKY  project)  and  mandatory  residential  courses  (in  regular  DDU-GKY projects non-residential courses are also allowed).

Under RSETI candidates are skilled for both self employment and wage employment. There are  586  RSETIs  in  the  country,  which  includes  a  RSETI  in  Balaghat  district  of  Madhya Pradesh.

(c): As  per  available  information,  a  state-wise  list  of  districts  whose  candidates  are covered  presently  under  DDU-GKY  (including  Roshni  initiative)  and  RSETI  in  106  LWE affected districts is given below:
