## 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 Rajasthan. This Scheme enables the youth for taking Short Term Training (STT) and Recognition of  Prior  Learning  (RPL)  through  accredited  and  affiliated  training  centres  (TCs)  throughout  the country. As on 17.01.2020, 1,368 TCs are empanelled under STT of the scheme. As on 17.01.2020, 6.43 lakh candidates have been trained / oriented in the State of Rajasthan.

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  of  State-wise  funds allocation.  However,  under  CSSM  component  of  PMKVY  2016-20,  funds  and  corresponding physical targets of PMKVY 2016-20 have been allocated to the States/UTs for the implementation of the scheme through State Skill Development Missions. Under this component, after evaluation of proposal  received  from  Rajasthan  Skill  and  Livelihoods  Development  Corporation  (RSLDC), Government  of  Rajasthan,  Ministry  has  given  in-principle  approval  of  a  total  target  of  64,526 candidates and corresponding financial allocation of Rs. 94.62 Cr. for FY 2016-20; out of which, Rs. 14.19  Cr.  has  been  disbursed  to  State  of  Rajasthan  during  FY  2016-17.  However,  due  to  slow performance and keeping in the mind that the scheme is going to end by March'2020, the financial allocation was rationalized to Rs. 70.96 crore.

Additionally,  the  Ministry  promotes  establishment  of  model  and  aspirational  skill  centres known  as  Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Kendra  (PMKK)  in  every  district  for  imparting  skill  training  in every  district  throughout  the  country.  At  present,  skill  training  at  PMKKs  is  being  imparted  under MSDE's  flagship  scheme  PMKVY  (2016-20).  The  Ministry through NSDC  provides  capital expenditure upto 75% of the project investment as well as operational support to each PMKK. As on 17.01.2020, 35 PMKKs have been allocated in Rajasthan. Out of allocated PMKKs, 34 PMKKs have been  established.  Funds  amounting  to  Rs.  12.03  crores  have  been  disbursed  towards  the establishment of PMKKs in Rajasthan.
