## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP (SHRI RAJEEV CHANDRASEKHAR)

(a)&(b) The  schemes  of  the  Ministry  are  demand-driven  and,  hence,  targets  are often not set or achieved State-wise. However, Under Skill India Mission, the Ministry of Skill Development (MSDE) has been delivering short term skills through Pradhan Mantri Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY),  Jan  Shikshan  Sansthan  (JSS)  Scheme  and  National Apprenticeship  Promotion  Scheme  (NAPS),  and  long  term  skills  through  Craftsman Training Scheme (CTS) through Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs), to the youth belonging to all section of the society including tribal community. All of the above Schemes have the mandatory  provision  of  utilization  of  funds  for  tribals  through  Schedule  Tribal  (ST) component. The details of fund allocation under Tribal Sub Plan in the PMKVY Scheme, JSS scheme and NAPS in FY 2022-23 are given below:

## (Rs. In crore)

|   S.No. | Scheme   |   Total Budget Estimates, 2022-23 |   Budget Estimates 2022-23 (ST component) |
|---------|----------|-----------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
|       1 | PMKVY    |                              1442 |                                    111.12 |
|       2 | JSS      |                               200 |                                     15.16 |

| 3.   | NAPS   | 170.00   | 13.16   |
|------|--------|----------|---------|

(c) Since  2015, an  extensive  Skill  India  network  has  been  created  viz.  PMKVY  1.0, PMKVY 2.0 and PMKVY 3.0 training centres (including Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendra) (30,100), Jan Shikshan Sansthans (304), Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) (14,711) and through  various  registered  enterprises(1,43,444)  under  the  NAPS  scheme  and  this network has, so far, trainedmore than 351 lakh candidates. MSDE through National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) promotes establishment of model and aspirational skill centres known as Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendra (PMKK) for imparting skill training in every district throughout the country including the tribal areas. The list of PMKKs in tribal majority districts with more than 50% Schedule Tribes (STs) population with their annual capacity is placed at Annexure I .  The list of JSSs in tribal majority districts is placed at Annexure  II .  The  per  centre  annual  capacity  of  JSS  is  1800.  Directorate  General  of Training under MSDE is implementing a scheme titled 'Skill Development in 47 Districts Affected by LWE' since 2011, which inter-alia envisages funding to State Governments for  establishment  of  68  new  Skill  Development  Centres  (2  SDCs  per  district)  in  34 Districts  of  9  States  in  the  country.  These  Skill  Development  Centres  are  under  the administrative control of respective State Governments.

(d) Yes Sir, Government involves Private-Sector Skill Development Centers/Institutes actively. Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendras have been established under PPP mode.

ITIs  &  11,533  Private  ITI's  running  courses  under Craftsmen Training Scheme. There are 19,517 Private-Sector Establishments providing apprenticeship training under National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme.

National  Skill  Development  Corporationon  (NSDC)  under  MSDE, is  working  with 37  Sector  Skill  Councils  (SSCs)  which  are  industry  -led  bodies  helping  to  ensure  that short-term skill training meets the requirement of the industry.It is the implementation arm of  MSDE,  working  in  association  and  collaboration  with  different  private  players  as Authorized  partners,  Networked  entities  across  the  country  in  domain  of  training, certification, employment support etc. under the overall skill value chain system.

(e) There  is  no  exclusive  specific  scheme  for  the  Tribal  community;  however,  the following  additional  benefits  are  given  to  tribal  candidates  under  the  different  skill development of schemes:

|   S.No. | Scheme   | Benefits for tribal candidates                                                |

|       2 | ITIs     | Benefits are extended as per State/UT policy                                  |
