## ANSWER

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

(a), (d) & (e)  Under  the  Skill  India  Mission,  Ministry  of  Skill  Development  and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) is implementing the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) with  an  objective  to  train  one  crore  youth  in  various  sectors  across  the country  including  State  of West Bengal  in  the  four  years  period  i.e.  2016-20.  This Scheme enables the youth for taking Short Term Training (STT) and Recognition of Prior Learning  (RPL)  through  accredited  and  affiliated training  centres  (TCs) throughout the country. As on 17.01.2020, 13,209 TCs are empanelled under STT of the scheme across the country including 415 TCs in State of West Bengal.

Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) (2016-20) has two components  known  as  Centrally  Sponsored  Centrally  Managed  (CSCM)  being implemented  by  National  Skill  Development  Corporation  (NSDC)  and  Centrally Sponsored State Managed (CSSM) being implemented by State Skill Development Missions of the States/ UTs popularly known as State- Engagement Component of PMKVY (2016-20).

Under CSCM component of PMKVY 2016-20, there is no provision of Statewise funds allocation. However, under Centrally Sponsored State Managed (CSSM) component of PMKVY, funds and corresponding physical targets of PMKVY 2016-20 have  been  allocated  to  the  States/UTs  for  the  implementation  of  scheme  through State  Skill  Development  Missions.  Under  this  component,  Ministry  has  received proposals from 36 States/UTs and after evaluation of proposals, Ministry has given in-principle  approval  of  a  total  target  of  20.18  lakh  candidates  and  corresponding financial  allocation  of  Rs.  3,050  Cr.  for  FY  2016-20.  However,  due  to  slow performance of States/UTs and keeping in the mind that the scheme is going to end by March'2020, the financial allocation was rationalised to Rs. 2,419 crore (approx.) with the corresponding physical target of 12.45 lakh. As on 17.01.2020, Rs. 869.06 Cr. (approx) has been disbursed to 36 States/UTs including State of West Bengal.

Additionally,  the  Ministry  promotes  establishment  of  model  and  aspirational skill centres known as Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendra (PMKK) in every district for imparting skill training throughout the country. The Ministry through NSDC provides capital expenditure upto 75% of the project investment as well as operational support to each PMKK. As on 17.01.2020, 812 PMKKs have been allocated in 707 districts across  the  country;  out  of  allocated  PMKKs,  723  PMKKs  have  been  established including 43 PMKKs in State of West Bengal.

(b) and (c) A skill  gap  study  has  been  conducted  by  National  Skill  Development Corporation (NSDC), over 2010-2014, with an objective to understand the sectoral and  geographical  spread  of  incremental  skill  requirements  across  24  high  priority sectors between 2013-17 and 2017-22, which indicates that there is an additional net incremental requirement of 109.73 million skilled manpower by 2022 in twenty four key sectors.
