## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP (SHRI ANANTKUMAR HEGDE)

(a) to (d) There is no provision to provide  the facility of opening new start ups under the  'Skill  Development'  programme.    However,  a  total  of  8,184  Startups  have  been recognised  under  the  Startup  India  initiative  being  administered  by  Department  of Industrial Policy & Promotion, Ministry of Commerce & Industry . The State-wise details of  the  Startups  recognized  are  given  at Annexure. As  per  the  data  available,  a minimum of 77,051 direct  jobs  have  been  created  under  the  Start-up  India  program through the recognized Startups till 20.03.2018.

Ministry  of  Skill  Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE),  which has been set up to coordinate skill development efforts in the country, has notified common norms for rationalization of Schemes on Skill Development being administered by more than 20  Central  Government's  Ministries/Departments.  The  norms  includes  standards  for inputs/output,  funding/cost  norms,  third  party  certification  and  assessment  cost  etc. across the various skill development programmes while allowing flexibility to meet the requirements of different parts of the country/different socio  economic  groups. However,  different  ministries  are  free  to  frame  schemes  at  their  discretion  to  meet local/sectoral needs while adhering to common norms.
