- (a) There  is  no  specific  scheme  for  skill  development  of  youth  living  below poverty  line.  However, under  Skill  India  Mission,  the  Ministry  of  Skill  Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) is imparting long-term and short-term training aligned to requirements of various sectors of the industry. To encourage outcome based skill development  training  for  all  youth  including  those  living  below  poverty  line,  the Ministry delivers skill-training through a comprehensive network of skill development centres under various schemes viz. Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS), Jan Shikshan Sansthan (JSS) and Craftsmen Training Scheme (CTS) through Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) for the youth across the country.  Brief of these schemes is as under:

Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY): PMKVY  is  a  demanddriven Scheme for imparting skill development training through Short-Term Training (STT)  and  Recognition  of  Prior  Learning  (RPL)  to  youth  across  all  States/  Union Territories (UTs).

Jan Shikshan Sansthan (JSS) Scheme: The main target of the JSS is to impart  vocational  skills  to  the  non-literates,  neo-literates  and  the  persons  having rudimentary  level  of  education  upto    8 th standard  and  school  dropouts  upto  12th standard in the age group of 15-45 years, with due relaxation in case of 'Divyangjan' and other deserving cases. Priority is given to Women, SC, ST, OBC and Minorities.

National  Apprenticeship  Promotion  Scheme  (NAPS): This  Scheme is for promoting apprenticeship training and increasing the engagement of apprentices by providing  financial  support  to  industrial  establishments  undertaking  apprenticeship programme under the Apprentices Act, 1961. Training consists of Basic Training and On-the-Job Training / Practical Training at workplace in the industry.

Craftsmen Training Scheme (CTS): This scheme is for providing long-term training through Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) across the country. The ITIs offer a  range  of  vocational/skill  training  courses  covering  a  large  number  of  economic sectors with an objective to provide skilled workforce to the industry as well as self employment of youth.

However, as per the official poverty estimates released by  the  erstwhile  Planning  Commission  (since  been  restructured  as  NITI  Aayog), State/Union Territory-wise number and Percentage of Population Below Poverty Line in India 2011-12 (Based on Tendulkar Methodology) is provided in Annexure-I .
