## ANSWER

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

(a) to (c) Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (2016  -  2020)  is  the  flagship outcome-based  Skill  Training  Scheme  of  the  Ministry  of  Skill  Development  & Entrepreneurship (MSDE) which aims to train 10 million  youths  by 2020  pan India both in Rural and Urban areas.   MSDE does not maintain any segregated data for rural and urban areas. There are three training routes under the scheme: Short term Training  for  fresh  skilling  of  school  / college  drop  outs  and  unemployed  youth, Recognition  of  Prior  Learning  (RPL)  to  recognize  the  existing  skills and  Special Projects to address skilling requirements of groups which are under represented or require  special  initiatives  and  efforts.  RPL  only  provides  orientation  to  the  already skilled workforce, and does not mandate placements.

Under  PMKVY  2016-2020,  Training  Centres  make  all  efforts  to  facilitate placements of certified candidates through multiple initiatives like Rojgar Melas and collaboration  with  industries  and  Sector  Skill  Council.  Also,  candidates  can  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).

The  details  of  candidates  who  have  been  benefited  under  PMKVY  as  on 17th Jan 2020, data reported in Systematic Data Management System reports is at

Directorate  General  of  Training  (DGT)  under  MSDE  is  entrusted  with  the responsibility  of  long  term  vocational  training  in  the  Country.  One  of  the  flagship schemes  is  'Craftsmen  Training  Scheme'  being  implemented  through  network  of 15,042 Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs)  (Govt. 2738 + Private 12,304 ITIs) located all over the country with an objective to provide skilled work force to the industry in 138 trades with duration of 6 months , 1 year and 2 year . Initiatives for improving quality of ITIs include, formulation of new affiliation norms, grading to evaluate their performance,  ISO  29990  certification  to  raise  the  overall  quality  and  standards, regular inspection of ITIs, regular up-gradation of training content of ITI curriculum as per  industrial  requirement  etc.  The  details  of  the  candidates  who  have  been benefited under Craftsmen Training Scheme are at Annexure-II.

Ministry  of  Rural  Development  is  implementing  Deen  Dayal  Upadhyaya Grameen  Kaushalya  Yojana  (DDU-GKY),  a  placement  linked  skill  development program for  rural  poor  youth  under  National  Rural  Livelihoods  Mission  (NRLM)  all over  the  country.  Every  candidate  undergoing  training  under  DDU-GKY  is  given mandatory  basic  training  in  Information  Technology  for  80  Hours.
