## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SADHVI NIRANJAN JYOTI)

(a) & (b) Yes Sir, the Ministry of Rural Development is presently implementing five welfare schemes for employment generation in order to provide employment to people in rural areas of the country including the State of Maharashtra.  The details in this regard are as follows: -

- i. Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS): This is a demand driven wage employment programme which provide for  the  enhancement  of  livelihood  security  of  the  households  in  rural  areas  of  the country by providing at least one hundred days of guaranteed wage employment in every  financial  year  to  every  household  whose  adult  members  volunteer  to  do unskilled manual work.  The details expenditure made, State/UT-wise, including the State of Maharashtra under the Scheme is at Annexure-I .
- ii. Deen  Dayal  Upadhyaya  -National  Rural  Livelihood  Mission  (DAY-NRLM): This scheme is working to mobalise rural poor women in Self Help Groups (SHGs) and to create additional livelihood opportunities for them through provision of credit, orientation on key livelihood skills and advisory support besides taking up value chain development  activities.  Start-up  Village  Entrepreneurship  Programme  (SVEP),  the sub-scheme under the DAY-NRLM programme supports the SHGs and their family members to set-up small enterprises in the non-farm sector. SVEP develops an ecosystem  for  enterprise  development  in  the  rural  areas  which  consists  of  Community Enterprise  Fund  (CEF)  for  enterprise  financing,  Cadre  of  Community  Resource Persons-Enterprise  Promotion  (CRP-EP)  for  providing  Business  Support  Services comprising of preparation of business plans, trainings, market linkages etc., dedicated Block Resource Centre (BRC) for providing all necessary information to entrepreneurs. The Block is the unit of implementation of SVEP. The details of funds sanctioned/released,  State/UT-wise,  including  the  State  of  Maharashtra  under  the Scheme is at Annexure-II .
- iii. Deen  Dayal  Upadhyaya  Grameen  Kaushalya  Yojana  (DDU-GKY): This  is  a placement linked skill development programme for wage employment.
- iv. Skill  development  through  Rural  Self  Employment  and  Training  Institutes (RSETIs): This  enables  a  trainee  to  take  bank  credit  and  start  his/her  own  Microenterprise. Some of such trainees may also seek regular salaried jobs.
- v. Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Gramin (PMAY-G): This  scheme  mandates to provide assistance to eligible rural households for construction of pucca houses with basic  amenities.  Under  this  scheme,  it  is  mandatory  to  provide  support  of  90 persondays (95 persondays in hilly states, difficult areas and Integrated Action Plan districts)  unskilled  wage  employment at  the  current  rates  to  a  PMAY-G  beneficiary for construction of his / her house in convergence with MGNREGS.  Under PMAYG,  Rural  Mason  Training  (RMT)  is  implemented  to  address  the  issue  of  less availability  of  skilled  masons  in  the  rural  areas  so  as  to  ensure  quality  house construction.  This not only ensures that the houses constructed under PMAY-G are of good  quality  but  also  provides  livelihood  opportunities  to  the  persons  who  had undergone training.  The workers who have required experience in construction sector are trained in Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) mode under the RMT program of the PMAY-G, to facilitate them for formal career progression.

Apart  from  the  above  mentioned  schemes  of  the  Ministry  of  Rural  Development,  various other  Central  Ministries/Departments  are  also  implementing  the  programmes/schemes  for employment generation which are as follows:

- i. Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY): Under  Skill  India  Mission, Ministry  of  Skill  Development  and  Entrepreneurship  is  implementing  its  flagship scheme PMKVY for Skill based training of the youth across the country including candidates from villages under Short Term Training (STT) courses and Recognition of  Prior  Learning (RPL). Presently, the third phase of PMKVY i.e. PMKVY 3.0 is being implemented. Under PMKVY, STT is linked to placement, while RPL does not mandate  placements  as  it  recognizes  the  existing  skills  of  candidate.   PMKVY  has two  components  known  as  Centrally  Sponsored  Centrally  Managed  (CSCM)  being implemented  by  National  Skill  Development  Corporation  (NSDC)  and  Centrally Sponsored  State  Managed  (CSSM)  being  implemented  by  State  Skill  Development Missions  (SSDMs)  of  the  States  /  UTs  popularly  known  as  State-  Component  of PMKVY. Under the CSCM component of PMKVY, funds are disbursed to NSDC for implementation of the scheme, while under State component, the funds are disbursed to  the  States/State  Skill  Development  Missions  (SSDMs)  for  implementation.  It  is informed that there is no village wise data captured under the PMKVY scheme.
- ii. Prime  Minister's  Employment  Generation  Programme  (PMEGP): Ministry  of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises is implementing Prime Minister's Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP), which is a major credit-linked subsidy programme aimed at  generating self-employment opportunities through  establishment of microenterprises  in  the  non-farm  sector  by  helping  traditional  artisans  and  unemployed youth  across  the  country  including  candidates  from  villages.  The  scheme  was launched during 2008-09. Under PMEGP, general category beneficiaries can avail of margin money subsidy of 25 % of the project cost in rural areas and 15% in urban areas. For beneficiaries belonging to special categories such as ST/SC/OBC/women/Minorities etc. the margin money subsidy is 35% in rural areas and  25%  in  urban  areas.   The  maximum  projects  cost  is  Rs  25  lakh  in  the manufacturing  sector  and  Rs  10  lakh  in  the  service  sector. Since  2018-19,  the financial assistance scheme for expansion/upgrading of the existing PMEGP units (for manufacturing units upto 1.00 Cr. and for service/ trading unit upto Rs.25.00 Lakhs with  subsidy  of  15%  for  non  NER  and  20%  for  NER  and  hilly  state)  has  also introduced.
- iii. Van  Dhan  Yojana: The  Ministry  of  Tribal  Affairs  is  implementing  Van  Dhan Yojana under the scheme of Minimum Support Price (MSP) for Minor Forest Produce (MFP) through Tribal Cooperative Marketing Federation of  India (TRIFED) across the  country  establishing  tribal  enterprises  and  generating  livelihoods.  Under  Van Dhan Yojana, TRIFED has so far sanctioned 3110 Van Dhan Vikas Kendras (VDVK) clusters, associated with 9.27 lakhs beneficiaries in 28 states including Maharashtra & 3 Union Territory.
