## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP (SHRI R.K. SINGH)

(a)  to  (c):  There  are  over  20  Central  Ministries/  Departments  including  the  Ministry  of  Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) which are involved in the implementation of over 40 skill development  schemes  for  meeting  the  needs  of  various  sectors  of  the  economy  including  the manufacturing  sector.  MSDE  is  implementing  the  following  schemes  viz.  Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal Vikas  Yojana (PMKVY)  and National  Apprenticeship  Promotion  Scheme  (NAPS) for  short-duration skill  training; and Craftsmen Training Scheme (CTS) through the Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) and Crafts Instructor Training Scheme (CITS) through 33 National Skill Training Institutes (NSTIs) for long-term training.

## Short-term training

Under PMKVY, short-duration training is provided through three routes, namely Short-Term Training (STT) for fresh skilling of school / college drop outs and unemployed youth; Recognition of Prior  Learning  (RPL)  to  recognize  the  existing skills  through  orientation;  and  Special  Projects  to address skilling requirements of the vulnerable groups. From 2016-17 to 2020-21 (up to 19.01.2021), 106.96 lakh candidates have been trained across all three formats in job roles pertaining to various sectors including 31.93 lakh candidates trained in the manufacturing sector. During this period, 18.95 lakh candidates from STT and Special Projects training routes have been reported placed in various sectors including 5.34 lakh candidates in manufacturing sector jobs. RPL orients candidates and does not mandate placements.

In  addition,  under  the  fee-based  market-led  model  of  the  National  Skill  Development Corporation,  24,025  trainings  and  7,973  placements  have  been  done  in  manufacturing  since inception of this model in 2014-15.

Under NAPS, the number of candidates trained since 2016-17 for various job roles including manufacturing sector job roles is 9.60 lakh. This scheme does not have placement as a criteria.

## Long-term training

Under  CTS,  the  number  of  candidates  trained  since  2016-17  for  various  job  roles  in  137 trades including manufacturing sector job roles is 52.98 lakh. This scheme does not have placement as a criteria.

Under CITS, the number of persons who have received skill training during the last ten years and 2020-21 is 2.36 lakh. After completion of CITS training, the trained individuals can be employed as Crafts  Instructor  in  ITIs  in  their  corresponding  trades/  sectors  and  can  also  join  the  industry  as Technicians.
