## ANSWER

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

- (a) The  Government  has  set  up  the  Atal  Innovation  Mission  (AIM)  at  NITI  Aayog  with  an objective to create scientific temper and cultivate the spirit of curiosity, creativity, imagination and innovation  among  young  minds  and  inculcate  skills  such  as  design  mind-set,  computational thinking, adaptive learning, physical computing, rapid calculations, measurements, etc. NITI Aayog has not entered into agreement with any institution for skill development in the country under AIM.
- (b) The  Ministry  of  Skill  Development  and  Entrepreneurship  (MSDE)  is  implementing  the Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY),  Jan  Shikshan  Sansthan  (JSS)  Scheme  and National  Apprenticeship  Promotion  Scheme  (NAPS)  for  short-term  skill  training  and  Craftsmen Training Scheme (CTS) through the Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) for long-term skill training. The  State/  Union  Territory  (UT)  -wise  details  of  candidates  benefitted  under  the  schemes  viz. PMKVY, JSS, NAPS and CTS from 2016-17 are given at Annexure I, Annexure II, Annexure III and Annexure IV respectively.
- (c) As  regards  feedback  from  trainees  of  skill  development  schemes,  the  guidelines  of  the PMKVY  3.0  scheme,  which  was  launched  on  15.01.2021,  provide  for  feedback-based  rating mechanism of the Training Centres (TCs) along with existing grading received during accreditation and affiliation of the TCs. This mechanism of rating will help identify the most preferred TCs in the long run. Under the recalibrated rating system, empanelled PMKVY TCs would receive feedback from  candidates  on  training  delivery,  infrastructure,  quality  of  trainers  and  support  provided  for gainful employment.
- (d)  The  National  Skill  Development  Mission  (NSDM)  is  aimed  at  creating  convergence  across sectors  and  States  in  terms  of  skill  training  activities.    Training  is  not  only  done  by  the  Central Ministries and Departments but also by the State Governments. States are encouraged to create State Skill Development Missions (SSDM) along the lines of NSDM, with a Steering Committee and Mission Directorate at State level. In order to improve the performance of the States including Madhya Pradesh in skilling,  MSDE  through  the  Skill  Acquisition  and  Knowledge  Awareness  for Livelihood  Promotion  (SANKALP)  scheme  is  supporting  the  States  through  the  conduct  of workshops and seminars, development of manuals and guidelines, review of quarterly progress reports, periodic video conferences and follow-up visits to the States. The States are provided with regular guidance and hand-holding support. Further, to spread effectively the idea of skill planning at district level, SANKALP has focused on strengthening the District Skill Committees.
