## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP (SHRI ANANTKUMAR HEGDE)

As on 30.11.2018, under the PMKVY 2016-20, 33.93 lakh (appx.) candidates have been trained under Short Term Training (STT) (24.13 lakh), Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)  (9.08  lakh)  and  Special  Project  (0.72  lakh)  across  the  country  in  various  sectors. PMKVY 2016-20 has mandatory provisions for placement tracking. The placement data is reported  within  90  days  of  certification  of  trained  candidates  on  the  Skill  Development Management System (SDMS). As per data reported on SDMS, as on 30.11.2018, 20.18 lakh  candidates  have  been  certified  under  STT  of  PMKVY  2016-20.  The  number  of candidates certified under STT of PMKVY 90 days prior i.e. 31.08.2018 is 18.42 lakh. Out of these candidates, as on 30.11.2018, 10.09 lakh candidates have been reported placed in  various  sectors  across  the country  including  the  State  of  Maharashtra. The State/UTwise  details  of  candidates  reported  placed  under  STT  of  PMKVY  2016-20  is  given  at Annexure .

- (d) and (f) Under  PMKVY  2016-20,  placement  data  of  candidates  is  captured  on  the Skill Development Management System (SDMS) on monthly basis. SDMS does not allow uploading the data of the preceding month, until the placement data of previous month is

not updated. Placement guidelines of PMKVY 2016-2020 mandates to upload the data of each candidate for a minimum period of 3 months, and maximum period of 12 months.  All such data captured on the SDMS is monitored regularly by NSDC and necessary action is taken recurrently.

Further, PMKVY 2016-20 is endowed with various provisions relating to continuous as well as performance monitoring of training centre. For ensuring quality of training under the  scheme,  all  accreditation  and  affiliation  of  training  centre  is  done  through  an  online portal SMART with inspections done by an independent third party assessment agency. Adding to the improved accreditation process MSDE has initiated a process of continuous monitoring  through  various  channels  and  mandatory  re-accreditation  every  year.  Under this  self-audit  reporting,  call  validations,  surprise  visits  and  monitoring  through  the  Skills Development  Management  System  (SDMS)  have  been  adopted.  The  targets  are  being assigned to the TCs with a provision for periodic review. The grading is linked to quality of training, infrastructure availability, training capacity,  past  performance,  geographical location and other relevant parameters.
