## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP (SHRI ANANTKUMAR HEGDE)

(a) to (d) Under Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana, 2016-20 (PMKVY 2.0) the list of job-roles has been rationalised considering the changing needs of the skills required in the market and the performance of the previously existing job roles. Accordingly new job roles were included as per market demand and those where the placements have not been  up  to  the  mark  were  excluded.  The  new  list  also  includes  job  roles  which  are National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme  (NAPS)  scheme  enabled  for better exposure  to  the  candidates  and  increased  absorption  with  hands  on  experience  in Industry. Details of revised job-roles are available in public domain at the link as below: https://www.nsdcindia.org/sites/default/files/Revised%20applicable%20Job%20Roles% 20for%20PMKVY%20FY%202018-20.pdf.  The  rationalisation of job roles is also envisaged to enhance the employment rates in aspirational districts which rank poorly in important social indicators as the revised job-roles focus on industry demand and their aspirational value. Further, details of new trades introduced by Directorate General of Training  (DGT)  under  Ministry  of  Skill  Development  and  Entrepreneurship  from  year 2018-19 is at Annexure.
