## ANSWER

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

- (a) to (c) Under Skill India Mission, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship is implementing a flagship scheme called Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) 201620  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. STT is being imparted to either school/college dropouts or unemployed youth at accredited and affiliated Training Centres (TCs). Upon successful completion of their assessment, candidates are being offered / provided with  placement  assistance  by  Training  Providers  (TPs).  Under  RPL,  individuals  with  prior learning experience or skills are being assessed and certified. It aims to align the competencies of  the  unregulated  workforce  of  the  country  to  the  National  Skills  Qualification  Framework (NSQF).

As on 11.11.2019, 69.03  lakh  (appx.)  (38.01  lakh  STT  +  31.02  lakh RPL)  candidates have been trained under the scheme in the country. Under STT, as per data reported on SDMS (Skill  Development  Management  System),  as  on  11.11.2019,  30.21  lakh  candidates  are certified.  Out  of  these  candidates,  15.4  lakh  candidates  have  been  reported  to  be  placed  in various sectors across the country. The State/UT-wise details are given at Annexure .

- (d) Under PMKVY 2016-2020, training centres facilitate placements of certified candidates through  multiple  initiatives  like  Rojgaar  Mela, collaboration  with  industries  and  Sector  Skill Council.  In  addition  candidates  can  also  avail  benefit  of  placement  through  'Yuva  Sampark' portal which brings both candidate and potential employer on IT platform to find potential match between  two  (employer  and  candidate).  For  improving  the  quality  of  trainers  'Training  of Trainers programme'  (a self-paid  programme) is being implemented by Sector Skill Councils and  facilitated  through  NSDC  in  short-term  skill  development  eco-system.  Till  date,  25600 Trainer certifications have been issued across 38 sectors. Currently, the trainers who undergo Training of Trainers programme are engaged by the training providers, as most short-term skill development  schemes  have  made  certification  of  trainers  as  a  mandatory  requirement  for providing training in the concerned category.
