## ANSWER

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

- (a)  to  (c)   Yes,  Sir.  Under  Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY) 2.0, around 1.07 crore candidates have been trained / oriented across the country as on 19.01.2021.
- (d)       Under PMKVY 2.0, placement opportunities are being provided to candidates certified under Short Term Training (STT). Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) does not mandate placement as it orients and certifies candidates with prior learning experience or skills. As on 19.01.2021, 46.27 lakh and  36.04  lakh  candidates  have  been  respectively  trained  and  certified  under  STT.  Out  of  these certified candidates, 18.95 lakh candidates have been provided with placement.
- (e)       NITI Aayog has done a quick assessment study of the PMKVY 2.0. The report of NITI Aayog highlighted a mismatch between industry requirement and candidate expectation.

In  addition,  National  Skill  Development  Corporation  (NSDC),  an  implementing  agency  of PMKVY, has also engaged a third-party agency, Sambodhi Research and Communications Pvt. Ltd., for  the  impact  evaluation  of PMKVY  2.0.  This  report  highlighted  about  15%  increase  in  average monthly  salary  under  STT  and  19%  under  RPL.  Under  RPL,  70%  participants  reported  for  better chance of finding employment. This report also suggested for stronger role of State Skill Development Missions (SSDMs) for better implementation of scheme.

Based on the above said studies and learning from the implementation of PMKVY 2.0, Ministry has launched a modified version of PMKVY, i.e., PMKVY 3.0 on 15.01.2021 with a demand-driven and bottom-up approach.

- (f)  and (g)  The study on PMKVY2.0 was conducted at the national level and aggregated data was considered  for  findings.  However,   district-wise  training  data  with  respect  to  number  of  candidates trained, certified and placed under STT, and candidates oriented and certified under RPL of PMKVY 2.0 in State of Tamil Nadu as on 19.01.2021 is given at Annexure.

District-wise  number  of  candidates  trained,  certified  and  placed  under  STT,  and candidates oriented and certified under RPL of PMKVY 2.0 in State of Tamil Nadu, as on 19.01.2021
