## ANSWER

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

- (a) Under  Skill  India  Mission,  Ministry  of  Skill  Development  and  Entrepreneurship  is implementing a flagship scheme Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) 2016-20. PMKVY  2016-20  does  not  mandate  the  establishment  of  skill  development  centres, however, it enables large number of prospective youth for taking up Short Term Training (STT) and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) through accredited and affiliated training centers  (TCs)  throughout  the  country  including  NCT  of  Delhi.  Under  the  scheme,  for imparting  the  skill  training,  the  accreditation  and  affiliation  of  TCs  are  being  done  under single  window  IT  application  known  as  SMART  (Skill  Management  and  Accreditation  of Training Centres). As on 12.06.2019, 1,99,831 candidates have been trained under 344 empanelled TCs in NCT of Delhi covering all the districts.

Additionally,  Ministry  also  promotes  establishment  of  model  and  aspirational  skill centres known as Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendra (PMKK) in every district for imparting skill training through PMKVY 2016-20. As on date, 11 PMKKs have been allocated in NCT of Delhi. Out of allocated PMKKs, 6 PMKKs have been already established.

- (b) and (c) Ministry has undertaken various measures to encourage greater participation of industry in skilling ecosystem. Government have developed and designed dynamic and demand driven curriculum & standards through industry led - Sector Skill Councils. These curriculum are aligned with latest National Occupational Standards (NOSs)/ Qualification Packs  (QPs).On  the  other  hand,  industries  are  encouraged  to  participate  as  training partners to run the  high employment potential courses through appropriate accreditation and affiliation framework.

Further,  under  the  PMKVY  2016-20  scheme,  there  is  provision  for  imparting industry  linked  skill  development  training  for  ensuring  the  placement  of  the  candidates. The last 20% payment to training partners/training centre would be made only after wage employment  or  self  employment  to  at  least  70%  of  the  trained  candidates.  TCs  are required  to  have  dedicated  mentorship-cum-placement  cells  for  industry  linkage  and placement of candidates. TPs are mandated to organize Placement/Rozgar Melas every six months with support from the SSCs and to ensure the participation of local industry.

Under PMKVY 2016-20, as on 12.06.2019, 51,622 candidates have been placed in various sectors in NCT of Delhi.
