In  order  to  impart  skill  development  training,  Ministry  of  Skill  Development  and Entrepreneurship  (MSDE) promotes  establishment  of  model  training  centres  in  every district  of  the  country  known  as  Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Kendra  (PMKK).  The  Ministry through  National  Skill  Development  Corporation  (NSDC)  provides  capital  expenditure through a secured loan up to a maximum of Rs 70 lakhs per PMKK. As on 01.07.2021, 812  PMKKs  have  been  allocated  across  the  country;  out  of  which,  721  have  been established. State-wise number of PMKKs allocated and established is given at Annexure . In  addition,  2,694  Training  Centres  (TCs)  are  operational  across  the  country  under Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY).  These  TCs  were  established  without funding support from the Ministry.
- (b)        In  order  to  improve  the  availability  of  skilled  professional  across  the  country, competency  based  skill  development  training  aligning  with National  Skill  Qualification Framework  (NSQF)  is  being  imparted  through  various  schemes  and  programmes  of MSDE.
