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

- (a) to (c) Under Skill India Mission, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship  is  implementing  a  flagship  scheme  known  as  Pradhan  Mantri Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY)  with  an  objective  to  provide  skilling  to  one  crore people under Short Term Training (STT), Recognition  of Prior  Learning (RPL)  and Special Project (SP) across the country including State of Jharkhand for four years i.e. 2016-2020.

PMKVY  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  StateEngagement Component of PMKVY (2016-20).

Under CSCM component of PMKVY 2016-20, which started from 2nd October 2016 onwards, 30.11.2018, 32.99 lakh (appx.) candidates have been trained under STT (23.19 lakh), RPL (9.08 lakh) and SP (0.72 lakh) in various sectors across the country. Further, 53,652 candidates have been trained in the State of Jharkhand. Out of  which,  2,995  candidates  are  from  Eastern  and  Western  Singhbhum  districts  of Jharkhand.

Under  CSSM  component  of  PMKVY  2016-20,  25%  of  the  funds  and corresponding physical targets of PMKVY 2016-20 have been allocated to the States for the implementation of scheme through State Skill Development Missions. Under this component, after evaluation of proposal received from Jharkhand Skill Development  Mission  Society  (JSDMS),  Government  of  Jharkhand,  Ministry  has given in-principle approval of a total target of 57,668 candidates and corresponding financial allocation of Rs. 88.79 Cr. for FY 2016-20. Further, an amount of Rs. 29.59 Cr.  has  been  released  during  FY  2017-18  to  Government  of  Jharkhand  for  the implementation of CSSM component of the Scheme across the State of Jharkhand including Eastern and Western Singhbhum districts.

Also, Ministry of Skill Development  and  Entrepreneurship  is promoting establishment  of  model  and  aspirational  skill  centres  known  as  Pradhan  Mantri Kaushal Kendra (PMKK) in every district for imparting skill training through Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) 2016-20. As on date, 720 PMKKs have been allocated across the country including the State of Jharkhand covering 632 districts. Out  of  allocated  PMKKs,  510  PMKKs  have  been  already  established.  In  State  of Jharkhand, 24 PMKKs have been allocated in 24 districts. Further, PMKKs in Eastern and Western  Singhbhum  districts  have  been  established  by  'Ashpra  Skills  Private Limited'.  As on date, 9,901 candidates have been already enrolled through PMKVY scheme.

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.  Further,  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.  Various  IT  interventions  such  as  Direct  Benefit  Transfer, Aadhaar linkage of trainers and trainees, Aadhaar enabled biometric attendance of candidate  and  trainers,  maintaining  of  all  MIS  through  SDMS  portal  to  check duplication of candidates, etc., have been ensured.

Also, Ministry of Skill  Development  and  Entrepreneurship  (MSDE)  has approved penalty grid under the scheme and provisions of penalty  grid guides the action  that  needs  to  be  taken  against  training  centers  found  non-compliance  of PMKVY guidelines.
