## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP (SHRI R. K. SINGH)

(a) & (b) The  Ministry  of  Skill  Development  and  Entrepreneurship  (MSDE)  is implementing  Short  Term  and  Long  Term  Training  programs  for  skilling/re-skilling and  up-skilling  of  the  youth.  The  major  programs  include  namely  Pradhan  Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY); Jan Shikshan Sansthan (JSS); National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS); Craftsman Training Scheme (CTS) etc.

Under its flagship program PMKVY, one crore people  are to be trained under Short Term Training (STT), Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Special Project

(SP) programmes over period  from 2016 to 2020. The scheme has two components viz. Centrally Sponsored Centrally Managed (CSCM) being implemented by National Skill  Development  Corporation  (NSDC)  and  Centrally  Sponsored  State  Managed (CSSM) being  implemented  by  State  Skill  Development  Missions  (SSDMs)  of  the States/ UTs. The achievements of the PMKVY as on 12.06.2019 are in Annexure I .

The Jan Shikshan Sansthan scheme which supports voluntary agencies for adult education and skill development is an initiative in the direction of realizing the unique demographic potential of urban slums and rural India. In the year 2018-19, there  were 247 JSS operational in  27 states and 2  union territories in  India.  Total training  capacity  of  JSS during  2018  -  2019  was  3.72  lakh  beneficiaries  per  year. MSDE has planned to increase the training capacity to 4.82 lakh beneficiaries per year by adding 20% more capacity to the existing JSSs and adding new JSSs in 83 new identified districts in the year 2019-20.

The  Government  has  also  launched  the  National  Apprenticeship  Promotion Scheme (NAPS) to  provide  on  the  job  training  to  the  youth  and  to  enhance  their employability. The aim is to increase the engagement of apprentices to 50 lakh by financial  year  2019-20.  About  3.78  lakh,  4.00  lakh  and  4.45  lakh  candidates  have undergone apprenticeship training during Financial Year 2016-17, 2017-18 & 201819 respectively.

Under the Long Term Training Program, the Directorate General of Training is implementing the Craftsman Training Scheme through ITIs to ensure availability of skilled manpower in different trades in industry. There are 14494 ITIs (Govt. 2876 + Private 11,618) with seating capacity of 33.98 lakh, imparting training in more than 136  trades.  Some  popular  trades  are  Electrician,  Fitter,  Machinist,  Welder,  and Mechanic Motor Vehicle etc. The target trainees are 10th class pass.

(c) to (e) The funds allocated under the three Centrally Sponsored Schemes of the Ministry are given at Annexure II . The funds are released to States/UTs as per their request driven by the States absorptive capacity and utilisation of fund.

(f)  &  (g)  The  Ministry  has  prepared  plans  for  scaling  up  the  implementation  of  its various  programs  which  includes    encouraging  greater  participation  of  industry  in skilling  ecosystem  through  industry  led  -  Sector  Skill  Councils;  alignment  of qualification  with  National  Skill  Qualification  Framework  to  make  training  industry relevant;  encouraging industries to participate as training providers to run the  high employment  potential courses  through appropriate accreditation and  affiliation framework  ;  Training  Centers  (TCs)/  Training  Providers  (TPs)  to  have  dedicated mentorship-cum-placement cells for  industry linkage and  placement  of candidates; organisation  of  Placement/Rozgar  Melas  every  six  months  with  support  from  the Sector Skill Councils (SSCs); incentivizing TCs/TPs for facilitating placement of the trained candidates. Additionally, post placement support of Rs. 1500 per month per trainee  is  applicable  for  special  group  (women  candidates  and  persons  with disability) and special areas (LWE, North East region and J&K) for 2 or 3 month post training depending on placement within or outside the district of the domicile of the candidate;  Strengthening  of  regulatory  infrastructure  and  Training  of  trainers  in  33 National Skill Training Institutes.
