## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE (IC) FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT (SHRI SANTOSH KUMAR GANGWAR)

(a) to (d): Employment generation coupled with improving employability is the priority of the Government. Government has taken various steps for generating  employment  in  the  country  like  encouraging  various  projects involving substantial investment and increasing public expenditure on schemes like Prime Minister's Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP), Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY), Mahatma Gandhi  National  Rural  Employment  Guarantee  Scheme  (MGNREGS),  and Deendayal Antodaya Yojana-National Urban Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NULM) run  by  Ministry  of  Micro,  Small  &  Medium  Enterprises,  Ministry  of  Rural Development and Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs, respectively. Details of the employment generated through these schemes/ programmes are given at Annexure I, II, III, and IV respectively.

Government  is  implementing  Pradhan  Mantri  Rojgar  Protsahan  Yojana (PMRPY) in the country since 2016 with the objective to incentivise employers for  creation  of  new  employment  with  social  security  benefits.  As  on  21st January 2021, benefits have been provided to 1.21 crore beneficiaries through 1.52 lakh establishments.

Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY) was launched by Government in the  year  2015-16  inter  alia,  for  facilitating  self-employment.  Under  PMMY, 28.36 crore number of loan accounts have been  sanctioned upto 5th  March 2021.

Besides these initiatives, flagship programmes of the Government such as Make in India, Digital India, Swachh Bharat Mission, Smart City Mission, Atal  Mission  for  Rejuvenation  and  Urban  Transformation,  Housing  for  All, Infrastructure  development  and  Industrial  corridors  have  the  potential  to generate productive employment opportunities.
