## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SADHVI NIRANJAN JYOTI)

- (a)       Government  is  implementing  a  placement  linked  skill  development  programme, Deendayal Upadhyaya-Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY), for rural poor youth under National  Rural  Livelihoods  Mission  (NRLM)  all  over  the  country  including  the  State  of Maharashtra.

DDU-GKY is being implemented by 877 PIAs operating 2369 Training centres across the country.  Under  DDU-GKY,  a  total  of  11.23  lakh  candidates  have  been  trained  [since  its inception  (September,  2014)  till  November,  2021]  while  7.13  Lakh  candidates  have  been placed. The  State-wise number  of  candidates  trained and  placed since 2014-15  till November, 2021 is given at Annexure .

- (b)      Deendayal  Antyodaya  Yojana  -  National  Rural  Livelihoods  Mission  (DAY-NRLM) provides long-term support to the community by associating them with the Self Help Groups (SHGs) and their federations which support them in diversifying their livelihoods, improving their incomes and quality of life. While doing so, DAY-NRLM ensures adequate coverage of vulnerable sections of the society such as people belonging to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes,  minority  groups  and  persons  with  disability  etc. Mobilizing  all  such  vulnerable sections in  the  community  and  ensuring  their  sustainable  livelihoods  is  a  challenge.  To address these challenges, DAY-NRLM provides for special projects under Innovation Fund. Further, Vulnerability Reduction Fund (VRF) has also been provisioned to meet the specific needs of the vulnerable communities in the rural areas.

In  the  State  of  Maharashtra,  major  challenges  for  effective  programme  implementation  are frequent transfer of Chief Executive Officer (CEO), State Rural Livelihoods Mission, delay in release of funds from State treasury and the lack of sufficient manpower, i.e., only 66% staff are in place to provide hand-holding support to the community. These matters are being regularly  reviewed  with  State  government  through  various  review  meetings  including Performance Review Committee (PRC) meetings of this Ministry.

- (c)  &  (d)  National  Council  for  Vocational  Education  and  Training  (NCVET)  is  an overarching  skills  regulatory  body  which  regulates  the  functioning  of  entities  engaged  in vocational education & Training and establish minimum standards for the functioning of such entities. There are no such separate goals set by (NCVET) under DDUGKY. The Action Plan targets for DDUGKY are approved by the Empowered Committee of NRLM.
