## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP (SHRI DHARMENDRA PRADHAN)

(a) 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,  including  State of Maharashtra.  As  on  15.11.2021,  50  PMKKs  have  been  allocated  covering  all  the  36 districts  of  State  of  Maharashtra.  Out  of  allocated  PMKKs,  43  PMKKs  have  been established covering 33 districts. The districts-wise details of established PMKKs for State of Maharashtra is given at Annexure .

(b) and (c) Under flagship scheme of Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship  (MSDE)  known  as  Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY), there is no provision of setting up of hostels for training; however, there is a provision of boarding and lodging for 50% of the enrolled candidates in 8 North Eastern (NE) States, Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand even if the candidates are  being  trained  in  their  own  districts.  The  provision  of  boarding  and  lodging  is  also available for Women,  Persons  with  Disability  (PwD)  and Transgender candidates irrespective  of  the  region  when  they  move  outside  their  native  district  for  attaining  the training.

Further,  under  schemes  titled  'Skill  Development  in  47  Districts  Affected  by  Left Wing Extremism (LWE)' and 'Enhancing Skill Development Infrastructure in NE States' of Directorate General of Training, MSDE, there is a provision of construction of hostels for youth in the ITIs.

(d) Under PMKVY, Short Term Training (STT) is linked to placement, while Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) does not mandate placements as it recognizes the existing skills of candidate. Under the STT-PMKVY, 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. Also, 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.

Further, based on the learning from implementation of PMKVY 1.0 (2015-16) and 2.0  (2016-20),  the  orientation  of  the  scheme  has  been  changed  from  supply  driven  to demand driven under PMKVY3.0.The demand driven and bottom up approach has been provisioned to boost demand for job roles  which are prevailing at regional/local level. In addition, informed choices / aspirations of the candidates have been given primacy which aims  to  support  the  self-employment  as  well.  This  scheme  also  supports  the  vision  of Atmanirbhar Bharat by encouraging candidates to opt for local skills with local jobs.
