(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, candidates  are  being  trained  in  short  duration courses through empanelled training centres (TCs) across the country, including the State of Gujarat.  The  empanelment  of  TCs  is  being  done  online  through  Skill  India  Portal  (SIP) combined with a third party inspection. Under PMKVY-RPL component, individuals with prior learning experience or skills are assessed and certified through orientation or bridge courses.

Also, MSDE promotes establishment of model and aspirational skill centres known as Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendra (PMKK) in every district for imparting skill training throughout the country, including the State of Gujarat, in Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode.

Under  PMKVY-STT,  since  inception,  735 TCs  (249  under  PMKVY  1.0,  423  under PMKVY 2.0 and 63 under PMKVY 3.0) have been empanelled, as on 10.07.2021, in the State of Gujarat. Out of which, 186 TCs including 17 PMKKs are operational in the State of Gujarat.

At present, 506 ITIs are there in the State of Gujarat.

- (b)       The Ministry through National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) provides funding support upto Rs. 70 lakh to training provider (TP) for setting up of PMKK. As on 10.07.2021, Rs. 243.02 crore have been disbursed by the NSDC for the establishment of PMKKs across the country, including the State of Gujarat.

In  long-term  skilling,  DGT  has  disbursed  Rs.  103.76  crore  under Upgradation  of existing  Government  ITIs  into  Model  ITIs scheme to the States  including  3.18  crore  to  the State of Gujarat.
