## ANSWER

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

- (a) and (b) The  guidelines  for  implementation  of  Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas Yojana  (2016-20)  were  issued  by  the  government  to  promote  Skill  Development  and Entrepreneurship in the country in 2016.
- (c) Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (2016-20) does not mandate  the establishment  of  skill  development  centres.  The  scheme  provides  for  taking  up  Short Term  Training  (STT)  courses  and  Recognition  of  Prior  Learning  (RPL)  through accredited  and  affiliated  training  centers  (TCs)  throughout  the  country.  Under  the scheme,  empanelment  of  TCs  is  done  through  the  process  of  accreditation  and affiliation for respective job roles on digital platform known as SMART  (Skill Management and Accreditation of Training Centres). As on 11.11.2019, 166 TCs have

been empanelled under PMKVY 2016-20 in the State of Chhattisgarh. Out of which, 59 TCs are currently operational.

Ministry promotes establishment of model and aspirational skill centres known as Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Kendra  (PMKK)  in  every  district  for  imparting  skill  training through PMKVY 2016-20. As on 11.11.2019, 27 PMKKs have been allocated and all of them have been established in State of Chhattisgarh.

As on 11.11.2019, 0.94 lakh candidates (0.76 lakh in STT and 0.18 lakh in RPL) have been trained under PMKVY 2016-20 in the State of Chhattisgarh. Under STT, as per data reported on SDMS  (Skill Development Management  System),  as on 11.11.2019, 56,341 candidates are certified. Out of these candidates, 20,807 candidates have been reported to be placed in various sectors.

(d) and (e) 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 State- Engagement Component of PMKVY (2016-20).

Under CSCM component of PMKVY 2016-20, there is no provision of State-wise or district-wise funds allocation. However, 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  across  the  State  covering  all  districts.  Under  this  component, after  evaluation  of  proposal  received  from  Chhattisgarh  State  Skill  Development Authority  (CSSDA),  Government  of  Chhattisgarh, Ministry has given in-principle approval of a total target of 48,532 candidates and corresponding financial allocation of Rs.  71.16  Cr.  for  FY  2016-20,  out  of  which,  Rs.  35.57  Cr.  has  been  released  to Government of Chhattisgarh for the implementation of CSSM component of the Scheme in  State  of  Chhattisgarh  covering  all  districts.  However,  after  rationalisation,  the  fund allocated for State of Chhattisgarh has been reduced to Rs. 53.37 Cr.
