## ANSWER

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

(a)        Under  Skill  India  Mission,  Ministry  is  implementing  various  programmes/ schemes for the skill development of youth across the country including in the State of Andhra  Pradesh  such  as  Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY),  Jan Shikshan  Sansthan  (JSS)  and  Craftsmen  Training  Scheme  (CTS)  through  Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs). MSDE also promotes establishment of model training centres across the country known  as Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendra (PMKK)  under PMKVY. The  district-wise  number  of  skill  development  centres  that  have  imparted training in the State of Andhra Pradesh under the various programmes of MSDE, are given at Table I of Annexure .

(b)       The district-wise candidates trained/enrolled under various programmes/ scheme of MSDE such as PMKVY, JSS and CTS through ITIs in the State of Andhra Pradesh is given at Table II of Annexure .

'Udaan' was a Special Industry Initiative by Ministry of Home Affairs for the Youth of Jammu & Kashmir. Also, National Skill Certification and Monetary Reward Scheme known as STAR Scheme was implemented by Ministry of Finance and around 14 lakh candidates were trained across the country including State of Andhra Pradesh.

Further, there are no provisions of setting up of skill development training centres under SANKALP. Under SANKALP, MSDE is undertaking Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) certification  of  workers  in  identified  villages  selected  in  Pradhan  Mantri  Adarsh Gram Yojana (PMAGY) under the aegis of Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of  India.  Under  this,  596  candidates  have  been  oriented  in  the  State  of Andhra Pradesh.

- (c)      Under  PMKVY,  placement  opportunities  are  being  provided  to  Short  Term Trained  (STT)  certified  candidates,  while  RPL  is  not  linked  with  placements  as  it recognizes  the  existing  skills  of  candidates.  Under  placement  linked  component  of PMKVY, 24.16 lakh candidates have been provided with the placement including 2.96 lakh self employed candidates in various sectors across the country.
- (d)        Ministry  of  Skill  Development  and  Entrepreneurship  (MSDE)  has  launched the demand-driven Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana 3.0 (PMKVY 3.0) on 15.01.2021. The objectives of the scheme are to:
- i)         Create  an  ecosystem  for  the  youth  to  make  informed  choices  on  the  available skilling avenues.
- ii)         Provide support to youth for skill training and certification.
- iii)        Promote sustainable Skill Centres for greater participation of private sector.
- iv)        Benefit 8 lakh youth over the scheme period.
- (e)  and  (f)        The  targets  and  candidates  benefited  under  PMKVY  1.0  and  2.0  are given below:

(No. in lakh)

| Phase                             |   Target |   Candidates Trained / Oriented |
|-----------------------------------|----------|---------------------------------|
| PMKVY 1.0 (Phase I i.e. 2015-16)  |       24 |                           19.86 |
| PMKVY 2.0 (Phase II i.e. 2016-20) |      100 |                          109.98 |

Under  PMKVY  1.0  target  was  not  achieved  due  to  newly  introduction  of Recognition  of  Prior  Learning  (RPL)  component  and  its  commencement  in  the  last phase of Scheme. Further, the targets of PMKVY 2.0 have been achieved.

Ministry  is  implementing  third  phase  of  PMKVY  i.e.  PMKVY  3.0  which  was modified on the basis of the evaluation studies and learning from the implementation of PMKVY 1.0 and 2.0.
