## MINISTER OF SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP (SHRI DHARMENDRA PRADHAN)

- (a)        Under  Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana,  as  on  10.07.2021,  199  empanelled training centres (TCs) including 48 Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendras (PMKKs) are operational in State of Bihar under PMKVY. The district-wise number of operational TCs in State of Bihar under PMKVY, as on 10.07.2021, is given in Annexure .
- (b)        PMKVY  has  two  training  components  namely  Short  Term  Training  (STT)  and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). Under STT component, candidates are being trained in short duration courses through empanelled TCs whereas under RPL component, candidates with prior learning experience or skills are being oriented and certified. Under STT-PMKVY, as on  10.07.2021,  3.84  lakh  and  3.37  lakh  candidates  have  been  enrolled  and  trained, respectively,  in  the  State  of  Bihar.  Under  RPL-PMKVY,  2.44  lakh  and  2.39  lakh  candidates have been enrolled and oriented, respectively, in the State of Bihar.
- (c)         Under the scheme, placement has been linked with payout to training providers. The last tranche, i.e., 30 percent of total payout is only disbursed to training providers on ensuring placement of the candidates. Further, Rozgar Melas are organised with the support of Sector Skill Councils, training providers and implementing agencies to directly link the candidates with the potential employers.
- (d)       In view of (c) above, question does not arise.
