The  number  of  candidates  trained  under  various  skill development schemes of MSDE viz. PMKVY, JSS, NAPS and ITIs during last three years  in  Rajasthan  and  Kerala  are  attached  at Annexure-I . In addition,  skill development programmes are also implemented by State Governments  and  other Central  Ministries.  These  schemes  inter  alia  include  Deen  Dayal  Upadhyaya Grameen  Kaushalya  Yojna  (DDU-GKY)  and  Rural  Self  Employment  Training Institutes  (RSETIs)  of  the  Ministry  of  Rural  Development,  Deen  Dayal  Antyodaya Yojna  -National  Urban  Livelihood  Mission  (DAY-NULM)  of  the  Ministry  of  Housing and  Urban  Affairs  (MoHUA)  and  Scheme  for  Capacity  Building  in  Textile  Sector (SAMARTH) of the Ministry of Textiles.

| Kerala    | 8,263           | 1,213           | 3,094           |

As  regards  other  schemes  of  MSDE,  the  third  party  Evaluation  Report  on PMKVY 2.0 (2016-20) found that  average monthly  income  of  PMKVY trained  and certified individuals was 15% higher than the comparison group. Moreover, 76% of the  candidates  acknowledged  that  after  the  training,  they  have  better  chance  of getting  employment.Similarly,  third  party  evaluation  report  of  the  JSS  scheme observed that as an impact of the training programme conducted at JSSs, the self and wage employment and private job have become evident.

Also, the final report of  Tracer  Study  of  ITI  Graduates  mentions  that  63.5%  of  total  ITI  pass-outs  got employed (wage+ self, out of which6.7% are self-employed).
