## ANSWER

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

(a) The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) is implementing Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) for providing short-term skill training in various sectors through affiliated Training Partners. Under the scheme, placement has been linked with payout to training providers. The number of candidates placed under the Short Term Training (STT) component of PMKVY Scheme (both PMKVY 2.0 and PMKVY 3.0)is 20.74 lakh (approx.) as on 10.07.2021; the State-wise details is placed at Annexure .

(b) The National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) which is the Implementing Agency of PMKVY Scheme has a mechanism of monitoring training partners imparting training  at  the  field  level.  These  include  self-audit  reporting,  call  validations,  surprise visits  and  monitoring  through  the  Skills  Development  Management  System  (SDMS), Skill  Management  and  Accreditation  of  Training  Centres  (SMART),  Aadhaar  Enabled Biometric  Attendance  System  (AEBAS),  social  media  platform,  etc.  NSDC  has  also formulated penalty grid for taking action against erring / non-compliant training centres / stakeholders.  Based  on  the  penalty  grid,  it  has  suspended  training  centres  for  noncompliance  of  PMKVY  guidelines  on  multiple  parameters  and  the  list  of  such  erring partners  are  also  published  periodically  on  the  website  of  the  NSDC.  So  far,  306 Training Centres (TCs) have been suspended across the different locations.

- (c) There is no scope of middle men in the schemes developed and implemented by MSDE for skill training of youth.
- (d) The percentage of candidates estimated to have dropped out of their training in the mid-way under the above mentioned schemes are given below:
- (e) Yes, Sir.
- (f) The Ministry engaged Indian Institute of Public Administration (IIPA) to conduct a third-party impact evaluation of PMKVY 2.0 with an objective to assess the performance of the scheme and analyse various gaps for corrective measures with regard to further improvement  in  the  scheme.  As  per  Report,  the  reasons  for  drop  out  from  training programme mostly pertain to be on medical grounds, family issues including marriage, social  problem,  distance  from  residence  to  training  centres,  regular  job  opportunity, some of apprentices are absorbed by outsourcing company as a contractual employee etc.
