## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

(a) & (b): As per information shared by National Sample Survey (NSS), National Statistics Office  (NSO),  the  Annual  Report  on  Periodic  Labour  Force  Survey  (PLFS)  (July  2017-June 2018), published by Ministry of Statistics  and  Programme  Implementation,  estimates  of Unemployment Rate (primary status + secondary status) in India is 5.3% for rural sector and 7.8% in urban sector.

(c): For generation of employment in rural areas, this Ministry is implementing the Mahatma Gandhi  National  Rural  Employment  Guarantee  Scheme  (Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS)  which provides  at  least  one  hundred  days  of  guaranteed  wage  employment  in  every  financial  year  to every rural household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work.  It is demand driven wage employment programme. Hence, no targets/milestones are set under the scheme.  As per  the  information  uploaded  by  the  States/UTs  in  Management  Information  System  (MIS), States/UTs-wise,  details  of  agreed  to  Labour  Budget  (Persondays)  and  Persondays  generated during  the  last  three  year  and  current  FY  2019-20  (as  on  05.12.2019)  under  Mahatma  Gandhi NREGS is at Annexure-I. The  Ministry  of  Rural  Development  is  implementing   two  welfare schemes  in  the  field  of  skill  development  for  rural  poor  youth  under  the  National  Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM) to eradicate poverty in the country as follows:-

- I. Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY) which is a placement linked skill development program for wage employment.
- II. Skill  development  through  Rural  Self  Employment  and  Training  Institutes  (RSETIs) enabling a trainee to take bank credit and start his/her own Micro-enterprise. Some of such trainees may also seek regular salaried jobs.

Both the above mentioned schemes are aimed at increasing employability of rural poor youths  either  wage  or  self  and  are  not  primarily  concerned  with  generation  of  employment. However, both the above mentioned schemes by increasing employability of rural poor  youths have led to economic and social development of youths of rural area of the country. The Statewise number of candidates trained and placed in jobs/settled under DDU-GKY and RSETI during the last three years and current year is at Annexure-I.

(d): States/UTs-wise details of central funds released and expenditure (including State share) uploaded by the States/UTs in Management Information System (MIS) during the last three years and  the  current  FY  2019-20  (as  on  05.12.2019)  under  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS  is  given  at Annexure-II .  Both DDU-GKY and RSETI Schemes are demand driven schemes and funds are allocated  to  States  as  per  demands  against  approved  Action  Plans.  The  State/UT-wise  funds released  under  DDU-GKY  and  RSETI  during  the  last  three  years  and  current  year  is  at Annexure-II.

(e): The Government is actively engaged with the State Government in establishing systems that ensure provision of work as per demand. To generate awareness about the provisions of the Scheme and to provide adequate employment opportunities to rural households under Mahatma Gandhi  NREGS,  all  States/UTs  have  been  requested  to  (i)  initiate  appropriate  Information Education and Communication (IEC) campaigns including wall paintings for wide dissemination of  the  provisions  of  the  Act,  (ii)  expand  scope  and  coverage  of  demand  registration  system  to ensure  that  demand  for  work  under  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS  does  not  go  unregistered,  (iii) prepare plans in a participatory mode and approve them in the Gram Sabha.

Under DDU-GKY it is targeted to train 2.5 lakh persons for wage employment and 3.86 persons under RSETI for self-employment during current     FY 2019-20. Further, it is targeted to train 3 lakh persons under DDU-GKY for wage employment and 4.3 lakh persons under RSETI for self-employment during FY 2020-21.
