## MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP (SHRI RAJIV PRATAP RUDY)

(a) to (c) Ministry  of  Skill  Development  &  Entrepreneurship  has  implemented 'Dual  System  of  Training'  in  ITIs  with  effect  from  August,  2016  to  improve  job placements for the passed-out trainees by improving the connect between industry and ITIs. This system enables industries to partner with Government & Private ITIs for  conducting  training  programmes  under  high  employability  courses  to  fulfil  the needs of industries. The scheme is optional for existing NCVT affiliated ITIs. Initially, top ten popular trades have been taken up under 'Dual System of Training'.

In  addition  to  above,  Ministry  of  Skill  Development  &  Entrepreneurship  is assisting  State  Governments  in  modernization  and  upgradation  of  Government Industrial Training Institutions (ITIs) through various schemes. Under the scheme of 'Upgradation of 1396 Government ITIs through Public Private Partnership (PPP)', a total of 1227 Government ITIs have been covered in 31 States/ UTs. State/ UT-wise number of ITIs  covered, including  North  Eastern  States,  is  at  Annexure-I.  Interest free  loan  @  Rs  2.50  crore  /  ITI  was  released  directly  to  the  Institute  Management Committees (IMC) Society of ITIs. IMC Society is headed by Industry Partner. Funds were released during the XI plan period and release of funds closed in March 2012. The scheme objective was to improve the quality of vocational training and make it demand driven so as to ensure better employability of the graduates. As per scheme evaluation in 2012, the average placement percentage was 66%.
