## ANSWER

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

- (a) Under the Skill India Mission, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship  is  implementing  a  flagship  scheme  called  the  Pradhan  Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) 2016-20 with an objective to provide skilling to one crore  youth  under  Short  Term  Training  (STT)  courses  and  Recognition  of  Prior Learning  (RPL)  across  the  country  in  a  four  years  period  i.e.  2016-2020.  Under PMKVY (2016-20), as on 17.01.2020, 73.47 lakh (appx.) (40.27 lakh STT + 33.20 lakh  RPL)  candidates  have  been  trained/oriented  throughout  the  country.  The State/UT-wise number of candidates trained / oriented including State of Telangana under PMKVY (2016-20) is given at Annexure .
- (b) Under PMKVY  2016-20,  focus on employment has been significantly enhanced and candidates have been placed in various sectors and industries. Some of the provisions and initiatives are given below:
- TCs/TPs 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  Sector  Skill  Councils  (SSCs)  and  to  ensure  the participation of local industry.
- The reimbursement of last 20% of training  payout to  TCs is linked with  the placement (wage employment or self employment) of the candidate.
- With a focus  on  retention  of  placed  candidates,  TPs  are  given  an  incentive (INR 3000 - INR 5000 per trainee) if a candidate is retained in employment for a period of 12 months.
- Post placement support of Rs. 1500 per month per trainee is applicable for special groups and special areas for 2 or 3 month post training depending on placement within or outside the district of the domicile of the candidate.
- Re-allocation  of  targets  to  TPs  is  based  on  placement  achievements  of previous allocated targets.
- Target allocation for FY 2019-20 includes employer-led models via RFP mode to  ensure  participation  of  employers  which  assure  at  least  50%  captive employment, amongst other mandates.

(c) Under PMKVY (2016-20), there are various provisions for monitoring of TCs as well as candidates. The life cycle of training process of candidates (enrollmenttraining-assessment-certification-placement)  is  tracked  or  monitored  on  real-time basis  through  the  Skill  Development  Management System (SDMS) which is linked with  Aadhaar  enabled  biometric  attendance. Empanelled TCs are being monitored effectively through various methodologies such as self-audit reporting, call validations, surprise visits, social media etc. Appraisal of the on-going schemes and consequent improvements is an ongoing process.
