## ANSWER

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

- (a) Under Skill India Mission, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) has been  delivering  skills  through  various  schemes  viz.  Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana (PMKVY), Jan Sikhshan Sansthan (JSS), National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS) and Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs), to youths across the country including Uttar Pradesh.

Amongst other major schemes for skilling run by other Ministries, Ministry of Rural Development is implementing Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Youjana (DDU-GKY) in the field of skill development for rural poor youth under the National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM), through private  sector  organizations  in  Districts.    DDU-GKY  is  a  placement  linked  skill  development program for rural poor youth under NRLM since September, 2014. Rural Youth in the age group of 15-35 years are covered under this scheme. DDU-GKY guidelines provide for earmarking 50% of the funds for SCs and STs and 15% for minorities. Further, one third beneficiaries of the respective categories  including  general  category  covered  under  the  scheme  should  be  women.  DDU-GKY follows  a  3-tier  implementation  architecture  for  implementation.  National  level  is  responsible  for policy,  funding  of  central  share  and  technical  support,  while  State  Rural  Livelihood  Missions (SRLMs)/  State  Skills  Missions  are  responsible  for  funding  of  State  share,  implementation  and monitoring controls. Project Implementing Agencies (PIAs) including private training partners, are responsible for mobilization, training and placements.

- (b) Yes,  Sir.  All  the  schemes  are  implemented  either  wholly  or  partially  through  private organisations. DDU-GKY provides training for rural poor youth and the training centres are run by PIAs including private training partners.
- (c) Under  PMKVY-STT  training  is  being  imparted  through  empanelled  training  centres  to unemployed  youth  of  the  country,  including  private  institutions. Further,  Ministry  promotes establishment of model and aspirational skill centres known as Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendra (PMKK)  in  every  district  for  imparting  skill  training  in  Public  Private  Partnership  (PPP)  mode throughout the country. The Ministry is also implementing the Scheme of Jan Shikshan Sansthan through Non-Governmental Organization (NGOs) to impart vocational skills in non-formal mode to

non-literate, neo-literates, persons with rudimentary level of education upto 8th and school dropouts  upto  12th  standard  in  the  age  group  of  15-45  years.  The  priority  groups  are  women, Scheduled Castes,  Scheduled  Tribes, minorities  and  other  backward  sections  of  the  society.  In addition  to  above  short-term  training,  Directorate  General  of  Training  (DGT)  under  MSDE  is implementing long duration vocational courses through government and private Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) which offer range of one or two years' vocational /skill training courses. The districtwise number of operational training centres under PMKVY, JSS, NAPS and ITIs in the State of Uttar Pradesh are attached at Annexure I, II, III  and  IV respectively. The District wise details of training centres under DDU-GKY in Uttar Pradesh is attached at Annexure-V .

- (d)

Yes, Sir.

(e) Empanelled  training  centres  of  PMKVY  are  being  monitored  effectively  through  various methodologies  including  information  technology  (IT)  interventions  and  measures,  namely,  selfaudit  reporting,  call  validations,  surprise  visits  and  monitoring  through  the  Skills  Development Management System (SDMS), Skill Management and Accreditation of Training Centres (SMART), Aadhaar Enabled Biometric Attendance System (AEBAS), social media platform, etc. Under the scheme,  PMKVY  Monitoring  Committee  review  and  formulate  framework  on  the  critical  cases related to monitoring issues of the stakeholders. Also, the Committee has formulated penalty grid (approved  by  Steering  Committee  for  PMKVY)  for  taking  action  against  erring  /  non-compliant training centres / stakeholders. Based on the penalty grid, National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), the implementing agency of PMKVY under MSDE, has suspended training centres for non-compliance of PMKVY guidelines on multiple parameters and periodically publishes the list on PMKVY  official  website.  So  far,  306  Training  Centres  (TCs)  have  been  suspended  across  the different locations.

Regional Directorate of Skill  Development  &  Entrepreneurship  (RDSDEs)  is continuously monitoring CTS. Actions have been taken against ITIs against which complaints were received or not having up to date information.

Directorate  of  Jan  Shikshan  Sansthan  is  monitoring  the  JSS  scheme  through  review meetings  and online  web  portal  (jss.gov.in).  Action  has  been  taken  against  4  JSSs  (since  July, 2018),  i.e.,  4  JSSs  have  been  closed,  not  having  up  to  date  information  or  against  which complaints were received.

Under Apprenticeship scheme, State Apprenticeship Advisors and Assistant Apprenticeship Advisors monitor the scheme  at  state  level.  Regional  Apprenticeship  Advisor  from  Central  Govt can also inspect these establishments for compliance and training quality.

DDU-GKY has detailed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to monitor these training centres.
