## ANSWER

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

(a) to (d) Under  Skill  India  Mission,  Ministry  of  Skill  Development  and  Entrepreneurship (MSDE)  is  implementing  the  Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY)  in  the  country including State of Maharashtra. This Scheme enables the youth for taking Short Term Training (STT) and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) through accredited and affiliated training centers (TCs)  throughout  the  country.  Under  the  scheme,  as  on  11.11.2019,  69.03  Lakh  (approx.) candidates have been trained in diverse sectors in the country. Out of these, 6,04,153 candidates have been trained in the State of Maharashtra.

PMKVY 2016-20 has two components known as 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 of the States/ UTs popularly known as State- Engagement Component of PMKVY (2016-20).

Under  CSCM  component  of  PMKVY  2016-20,  there  is  no  provision  for  State-wise allocation  of  funds.  Under  this  component,  funds  are  being  released  to  NSDC  which  are subsequently released by NSDC  on  reimbursement  basis  at  various stages of training (commencement  of  the  training  after  validation,  successful  certification  and  placement)  to  the empanelled training providers and centres.

Under  CSSM  component  of  PMKVY  2016-20,  25%  of  the  funds  and  corresponding physical targets of PMKVY 2016-20 has been allocated to the States for the implementation of scheme through State Skill Development Missions. Under this component, Ministry has allocated Rs.  214.44  Crore  funds  to  the  State  of  Maharashtra  for  4  years  (2016-20).  On  the  basis  of performance of State, till now Rs. 85.77 Crore have been released under CSSM-PMKVY.

Additionally, MSDE through NSDC also promotes establishment of model and aspirational skill  centres known as Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendra (PMKK) in every district throughout the country  for  imparting  skill  training  through  PMKVY  2016-20.  MSDE  through  National  Skill Development  Corporation  (NSDC)  provides  capital expenditure upto 75%  of  the project investment as well as operational support to each PMKK. As on date, a total of Rs. 14.18 crores have been disbursed towards the establishment of PMKK centres in Maharashtra. As on date, 50 PMKKs have been allocated in 36 districts of Maharashtra. Out of allocated PMKKs, 41 PMKKs have been already established.
