As  on  21.03.2018,  526  Pradhan Mantri  Kaushal  Kendras  (PMKKs)  have  been  allocated  across  27  States  covering 484 Districts and 406 Parliamentary Constituencies (PCs). Out of which, 400 PMKKs have been established. The State-wise details of PMKKs are given at Annexure I .

(b) and (c) As on 21.03.2018, 2,25,339 candidates have been trained in PMKKs. The placement data is reported within 90 days of certification of trained candidate. Out  of  1,47,261  certified  candidates,  50,185  candidates  have  been  placed  under various  sectors  throughout  the  country.  The  number  of  women  candidates  and persons from Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) trained in PMKKs are as under:

|   S. No. | Particulars      | Trained   |
|----------|------------------|-----------|
|        1 | Women candidates | 90,402    |
|        2 | SC candidates    | 30,666    |
|        3 | ST candidates    | 12,725    |

(d) and (e) Under  the  scheme,  focus  on employment  has  been  significantly enhanced  and  candidates  have  been  placed  in  various  sectors  and  industries including small and medium enterprises. Training Centers (TCs)/ Training Providers (TPs) are mandated to organize placement/rozgar melas every six month with the support  of  Sector  Skill  Council.  Additionally,  scheme  incentivizes  TCs/TPs  for facilitating placement of the trained candidates as per table below:

| Placement Percentage   | Amount Per Candidate   |
|------------------------|------------------------|
| 71-85%                 | 3000/-                 |
| 86% & More             | 5000/-                 |

Also,  the reimbursement of last 20% of training cost to TCs would be made only  after  wage  employment  or  self  employment  to  at  least  70%  of  the  trained candidates.  Also,  there  is  a  special  provision  in  the  scheme  to  provide  post placement support to women, PwDs and candidates from special areas (LWE, North East region and J&K).

Further,  PMKVY  2016-20  is  endowed  with  various  provisions  relating  to continuous as well as performance monitoring of training centre. For ensuring quality of training under the scheme, all accreditation and affiliation of training centre is done through an online portal SMART with inspections done by an independent third party assessment  agency.  Adding  to  the  improved  accreditation  process  MSDE  has initiated a process of continuous monitoring through various channels and mandatory re-accreditation every year. Under this self-audit reporting, call validations, surprise visits and monitoring through the Skills Development Management System (SDMS) have been adopted. The targets are being assigned to the TCs with a provision for periodic review. The grading is linked to quality of training, infrastructure availability, training capacity, past performance, geographical location and other relevant parameters.  Various  IT  interventions  such  as  Direct  Benefit  Transfer,  Aadhaar linkage of trainers and trainees, Aadhar enabled biometric attendance of candidate and  trainers,  maintaining  of  all  MIS  through  SDMS  portal  to  check  duplication  of candidates, etc., have been ensured.
