- (b) Under the scheme, focus on employment has been significantly enhanced and candidates have  been  placed  in  various  sectors  and  industries  including  small  and  medium  enterprises. Training Centers (TCs)/ Training Providers (TPs) are mandated to organize placement/rozgar melas every six month with the support of Sector Skill Council. Additionally, scheme incentivizes TCs/TPs for facilitating placement of the trained candidates as per table below:

|   S. No. | Particulars              | Scheduled Castes   | Scheduled Tribes   |
|----------|--------------------------|--------------------|--------------------|
|        1 | Women candidates Trained | 28,373             | 13,048             |
|        2 | Men candidates Trained   | 40,289             | 14,858             |

| Placement Percentage   | Amount Per Candidate   |

| 71-85%                 | 3000/-                 |
| 86% & More             | 5000/-                 |

Also, the reimbursement of last 20% of training cost to TCs would be made only after wage employment or self employment to at least 70% of the trained candidates. Also, there is a special provision in the scheme to provide post placement support to women, PwDs and candidates from special areas (LWE, North East region and J&K).

- (c) PMKVY  2016-20  is  endowed  with  various  provisions  relating  to  continuous  as  well  as performance  monitoring  of  training  centre.  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. Further, various IT interventions such as Direct Benefit Transfer, Aadhaar linkage of trainers and trainees, Aadhar enabled biometric attendance  of  candidate  and  trainers,  maintaining  of  all  MIS  through  SDMS  portal  to  check duplication of candidates, etc., have been ensured.
