## ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP (SHRI RAJ KUMAR SINGH)

(a)  to  (c) The  Ministry  of  Skill  Development  &  Entrepreneurship  (MSDE) came  into  existence  on  9 th November,  2014  after  bifurcation  from  Ministry  of Youth Affairs and Sports with the mandate to skill people to enable them earn their  livelihood.    Since  it  was  a  newly  created  Ministry,  there  was  shortage  of manpower  to  handle  the  work.    However,  as  the  time  elapsed,  adequate employees have been deployed by the Government in MSDE.

National  Skill  Development  Corporation  (NSDC)  is  a  not-for-profit  public limited  company  incorporated  on  July  31,  2008  under  section  25  of  the Companies  Act,  1956  which  aims  to  promote  skill  development  by  catalyzing creation of large, quality and for-profit vocational institutions. The Government of India through MSDE holds 49% of the share capital of NSDC, while the private sector has the balance 51% of the share capital.  The appointments in NSDC at different levels are not done by the Government but NSDC itself.

National Skill Development Agency (NSDA) is an autonomous body under Ministry  of  Skill  Development  and  Entrepreneurship  that  anchors  the  National Skill  Qualifications  Framework  and  allied  quality  assurance  mechanisms  for synergizing skill initiatives in the country.  Since, MSDE did not have a separate Cadre and Budget allocation in the year 2014-15, year-wise details of employees appointed  by  the  Government  in  MSDE  and  NSDA  for the  last four  years  (i.e. 2015-16 to 2018-19) is given as under:

| Year    | MSDE                              | MSDE                     | MSDE                    | NSDA                              | NSDA                                   |
