|------------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
| PMKVY            |     46548 |     16151 |      9495 |

JSS: The objective of training imparted under JSS is to link the individuals for gainful livelihood  and  supplement  their  family  income  through  self-employment  and  wage employment. The providing of employment/placement to the beneficiaries is not the mandate  of  the  JSS  Scheme.  As  far  as  the  employment  of  the  JSS  scheme beneficiaries is concerned, third party evaluation report of the  scheme  has mentioned,  'It  is  finally  observed  that  as  an  impact  of  the  training  programme conducted  at  JSSs,  the  self  and  wage  employment  and  private  job  have  become evident'. The usefulness of the scheme would be further self-evident from the fact that  same  report  has  mentioned  that  77.05%  of  the  beneficiary  trainees  have undergone occupational shifts.

CTS: The final report of Tracer Study of ITI Graduates (published in January 2018 by the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, GoI) mentions that 63.5% of total ITI pass-outs got employed (wage+ self, out of which 6.7% are self-employed).
