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

- (a) & (b):  State-wise  number  of  persons  imparted  skill  training  and  placements  under DeenDayalUpadhyayaGrameenKaushalYojana(DDU-GKY)  from  April  2014  till  October 2016, including Telangana are as below:-
- (c): The  placement  target  for  DDU-GKY  is  70%  of  trained  candidates.  Currently,  the placement  achievement  is  at  52%.  However,  as  a  placement  linked  skill  development program,  funding  is  allowed  to  Project  Implementing  Agencies  under  DDU-GKY  on achievement  of  70%  placement  of  trained  candidates.  Where  placements  are  between  5070%,  funding  is  reduced  proportionately  to  the  extent  of  placement  achievement  and remaining cost has to be borne by the Project Implementing Agency.
- (d): Placement is a function of employment market. DDU-GKY primarily targets skilling of  unemployed  rural  poor  youth  to  improve  their  employability.  Thus  employment    is  not generated in DDU-GKY, but candidates are given jobs after employment / job opportunities have  been  created  through  market  forces  and  /  or  other  interventions  by  government. However, in order to ensure quality sustainable jobs, Ministry has entered into MOU with 12 Champion Employers.
