## ANSWER

- (a) Under  Skill  India  Mission,  Ministry  of  Skill  Development  and  Entrepreneurship (MSDE)  is  implementing  its  flagship  scheme,  Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana (PMKVY).  PMKVY  has  two  training  components,  namely,  Short-Term  Training  (STT) and Recognition of Prior  Learning (RPL). Under PMKVY, STT is linked to placement, while  RPL  does  not  mandate  placements  as  it  recognizes  the  existing  skills  of candidate. Under the PMKVY-STT,  placement  is linked with payout to training providers.  The  last  tranche,  i.e., 30  percent  of  total  payout  is  disbursed  to  training providers  only on  ensuring  placement  of  the  candidates.  Further, Rozgar  Melas are organised with the support of Sector Skill Councils, training providers and implementing agencies to directly link the candidates with the potential employers.
- (b)        Under  PMKVY-STT, in the last two  years (2019-21), as  on  10.07.2021, 3,447 and 2,388 candidates have been trained and certified respectively in the Katihar district of the State of Bihar. Out of certified candidates, 941 candidates have been placed in various sectors, which is around 40%.
- (c)         Ministry promotes establishment of model and aspirational skill centres known as Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendra (PMKK) in every district for imparting skill training in Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode throughout the country.
