## ANSWER

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

(a) and (b) Under Skill India Mission, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship is implementing  a  flagship  scheme  Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY).  Under PMKVY, short term training is being imparted in accredited and affiliated skill development training centres across the country.

Under PMKVY, since inception, i.e., 2015 till 31.12.2021, short term training has been imparted  in  30,100  skill  development  training  centres  (TCs)  including  PMKKs  across  the country. These TCs were established without funding support from the Ministry.

Further, 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). As on 15.01.2022, 813 PMKKs have been allocated across the  country;  out  of  which,  719  have  been  established.  Further,  for  the  establishment  of PMKKs,  Ministry  through  National  Skill  Development  Corporation  (NSDC)  provides  capital expenditure upto 75% of the project investment as well as operational support to industrial partner / corporate for setting up of PMKK. PMKK centres are provided loan from NSDC up to Rs. 70 lakh to the PPP partner.

(c) and (d)        Above reply (a) may be referred to.

(e)       No, Sir. Under PMKVY, short term training is being imparted through skill development training  centres  (TCs)  selected  through  robust  accreditation  and  affiliation  process  on  Skill India  Portal  (SIP). TCs  are  being  monitored  effectively  through  various  methodologies including information technology (IT) interventions and measures namely; self-audit reporting, call  validations,  surprise  visits  and  monitoring  through  the  Skill  India  Portal  (SIP),  Aadhaar Enabled Biometric Attendance System (AEBAS), social media platform, etc.

Further,  in  order  to  improve  the  monitoring  under  PMKVY,  District  Skill  Committee (DSC) is being involved and entrusted with the monitoring under PMKVY 3.0. DSC acts as an on-ground monitoring agency for conducting inspection of TCs.

(f) to (h)          Under the scheme, PMKVY Monitoring Committee review the cases related to monitoring issues of the stakeholders. Under the scheme, there is provision for taking suitable action  against  erring  /  non-compliant  training  centres  /  stakeholders  as  per  penalty  grid framework. Based on the penalty grid, National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), the implementing  agency  of  PMKVY  under  MSDE,  has  suspended  training  centres  for  noncompliance of PMKVY guidelines on multiple parameters and periodically publishes the list on PMKVY official website.

Under PMKVY, some complaints were received on various parameters in the Ministry, and NSDC and appropriate action on every complaint was taken. So far, 17 FIRs were lodged against the complaint received by the Ministry. Also, based on the monitoring framework of PMKVY, 307 Training  Centres  (TCs)  have  been  suspended  across  the  different  locations. The State-wise no. of TCs suspended is given at Annexure.
