## ANSWER

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

(a)  to  (c)  There  is  no  scheme  of  small  Industrial  Training  Institutes  under  Ministry  of  Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) However, government has comprehensive network of more than 14000 Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) across India. Setting up of ITIs and its operation are in  the  domain  of  respective State  Governments, whereas preparation of norms and designing curricula  along  with  conducting  examination  and  certification  are  the  responsibility  of  Central Government.  Industrial  Training  Institutes  are  governed  under  Craftsmen  Training  Scheme.  The detail  of  ITIs  functioning  across  the  country  in  rural  areas  including  West  Bengal  is  given  in Annexure - I

(d) The total number of students enrolled and trained under Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) in the last four years, state-wise including West Bengal are given at Annexure - II

(e) & (f) Our country has a smaller percentage of skilled workforce as compared to other countries like United Kingdom, Germany, United State of America, Japan and South Korea. The main reason is the small workforce available with formal skill training, and availability of skilled or un skilled work force largely through non-formal channels.

The following corrective steps have been taken:-

- Aligning  courses  as  per  international  standards  of National  Skill  Qualification Frame Work (NSQF) .
- Mapping  of  existing  skills,  understanding  skills  gap,  imparting  necessary  remedial measures by re-skilling and up-skilling .
- Imparting training in industry relevant employable skills under various schemes.
- Coverage of new age courses like Internet of Things, Drone Pilot, Geo-Informatic Assistant , to keep pace with changing technology and global demand.

Annexure referred to in reply to para (a) & (b) of Lok Sabha Unstarred Question Number 2895 to be Answered on 21-03-2022. The Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) running under Craftsmen Training Scheme (CTS) in rural areas of the Country especially in West Bengal.
