## ANSWER

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

- (a)        Under Skill India Mission, Ministry is implementing its flagship scheme Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) to impart skill development training to youth of the country. PMKVY has two training components, namely, Short Term Training (STT) and Recognition of Prior  Learning  (RPL).  Under  PMKVY,  placement  opportunities  are  being  provided  to  STT certified  candidates,  while  RPL  does  not  mandate  placements  as  it  recognizes  the  existing skills of candidate. The State-wise including State of Rajasthan number of candidates trained, certified  and  placed  in  STT  component  of  PMKVY  candidates  oriented  and certified  in  RPL component  of  PMKVY  in  the  last  three  years  (i.e.  2018-21),  as  on  21.11.2021,  is  given  at Annexure .
- (b)        Under PMKVY, STT is linked to placement, while RPL does not mandate placements as it recognizes the existing skills of candidate. Under PMKVY-STT, in the last three years (i.e. 2018-21) 26.68 lakh candidates have been certified and out of which, 15.28 lakh candidates have been provided with the placement which is around 57%.
- (c)         In  order  to  enhance  the  placements  under  PMKVY-STT,  placement  is  linked  with payout to training providers. The last tranche, i.e., 30 percent of total payout is disbursed to training  providers only  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.

Under present phase of the PMKVY, i.e., PMKVY 3.0, demand driven and bottom-up approach  has  been  provisioned  to  boost  demand  for  job  roles which  are  prevailing  at regional/local  level.  In  addition,  informed  choices  /  aspirations  of  the  candidates  have  been given primacy which aims to support the self-employment as well. This scheme also supports the vision of  Atmanirbhar Bharat by encouraging candidates to opt for local skills with local jobs.

The State-wise including State of Rajasthan number of candidates trained, certified and placed in PMKVY-STT and candidates oriented and certified in PMKVY-RPL in the last three years (i.e. 2018-21), as on 21.11.2021:
