Under  the  scheme,  the accreditation and affiliation of training centres are being done through a single window application SMART for imparting skill development training.

In  State  of  Kerala,  1,03,774  candidates  have  been  trained  under STT  (32,133),  RPL  (71,474)  and  SP  (167).  The  district  -  wise  details  of  TCs  and candidates trained are given at Table 1 of Annexure .
