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

- (a) to (c) Setting up of Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) and its operation are in the domain  of  respective  State  Governments,  whereas  preparation  of  norms  and  designing curricula  along  with  conducting  examination  and  certification  are  the  responsibility  of Central Government .
- (d) Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY)  2016-20,  is  a  flagship  scheme, under Skill India Mission of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship with an objective  to  provide  skilling  to  one  crore  people  under  Short  Term  Training  (STT)  and

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) across the country for four years i.e. 2016-2020 with an outlay of 12,000 crore. The details of total candidates enrolled and trained in the last three years state wise, is given in Annexure I .

(e) & (f) Yes  sir,  our  country  has  a  smaller  percentage  of  skilled  workforce  as compared  to  other  countries  like  United  Kingdom,  Germany,  United  State  of  America, Japan & South Korea. The main reason is the small workforce available with formal skill training, andavailability of skilled or unskilled workforce largely through non-formal channels.

The following corrective steps have been taken: -

- Aligning  courses  as  per  international  standards  of National  Skill  Qualification  Frame Work (NSQF) .
- Mapping of existing skills, understanding skills gap, imparting necessary remedial measures by re-skilling and up-skilling .
- Imparting training in industry relevant employable skills under various schemes.
- Coverage  of  new  age  courses  like Internet  of  Things,  Drone  Pilot,  Geo  Informatic Assistant , to keep pace with changing technology and global demand.
