## ANSWER

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

- (a)        Under Skill India Mission, Ministry is implementing its flagship scheme Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) to impart skill development training to youth of the country, including the State of Madhya Pradesh. Under PMKVY, in the last three years (i.e. 2018-21), 4,50,376  candidates  have  been  enrolled  for  training/orientation  in  the  State  of  Madhya Pradesh, of which 2,67,867 are male and 1,82,502 are female.
- (b)         PMKVY  has  two  training  components,  namely,  Short  Term  Training  (STT)  and Recognition  of  Prior  Learning  (RPL).  Under  PMKVY,  placement  opportunities  are  being provided  to  STT  certified  candidates,  while  RPL  does  not  mandate  placements  as  it recognizes  the  existing  skills  of  candidate.  Under  PMKVY-STT,  in  the  last  three  years  (i.e. 2018-21), 1,43,140 candidates (Male: 74,250; Female: 68,888) have been placed in the State of Madhya Pradesh.
- (c)        Under Central component of PMKVY, there is no State-wise allocation; however, Rs. 288.52  crore  was  disbursed  to  training  centres  in  the  State  of  Madhya  Pradesh  in  the  last three years (i.e. 2018-21) for the implementation of the scheme.

Under  State  component  of  PMKVY,  funds  and  corresponding  physical  targets  have been allocated State-wise. For the State of Madhya Pradesh, Rs. 104.32 crore is allocated till date. Out of which, Rs. 9.42 crore was released during last three years (2018-21). Out of total released funds (Rs. 30.89 crore) till date, Rs. 23.95 crore was spent in last three years (i.e. 2018-21) in the State for implementation of the scheme.

(d)        Under PMKVY, training has been imparted in 52 districts of State of Madhya Pradesh through 2,345 training centres, including 22 centres in the district of Bhind.

Under  PMKVY,  training  is  being  imparted  in  various  National  Skill  Qualification Framework  (NSQF)  aligned  job  roles  of  level  3  to  5  including  technical  courses  across  37 sectors. In the State of Madhya Pradesh, training has been imparted to around 321 job roles including  technical  courses  such  as  Automotive  Service  Technician,  Machining  and  Quality Technician, Assistant Electrician, Tack Welder, CCTV Installation Technician, Field Technician -  Air  Conditioner,  LED  Light  Repair  Technician,  Mobile  Phone  Hardware Repair Technician, Solar Panel Installation Technician, TV Repair Technician, Baking Technician/Operative, Solar PV  Installer  (Suryamitra),  Wastewater  Treatment  Plant  Technician,  Industrial  Automation Specialist,  Jr.  Instrumentation  technician  (Process  Control),  Junior  Software  Developer, Graphic  Designer,  Sound  Engineer,  Junior  Engineer  (JE)-Power  Distribution,  TechnicianDistribution  Transformer  Repair,  Broadband  Technician,  Field  Technician   Computing  and Peripherals, Handset Repair Engineer, Optical Fiber Technician.

Further, under the Scheme, focus has also been given for skilling on digital technology and  Industry  4.0  skills. The Sector  Skill  Councils have  also  created  job  roles  on  new  and emerging digital technologies and industry 4.0 skills like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT).

(e)        The above reply (d) may be referred to.

(f)        Under the STT-PMKVY, placement is linked with payout to training providers. The last tranche,  i.e.,  30  percent  of  total  payout  is  disbursed  to  training  providers  only  on  ensuring placement of the candidates. Also, Rozgar Melas are organised with the support of Sector Skill Councils, training providers and implementing agencies to directly link the candidates with the potential employers.

Further, based on the learning from implementation of PMKVY 1.0 (2015-16) and 2.0 (2016-20),  the  orientation  of  the  scheme  has  been  changed  from  being  supply  driven  to demand  driven  under  PMKVY  3.0.  The  demand  driven  and  bottom-up  approach  has  been provisioned  to  boost  demand  for  job  roles which  are  prevailing  at  regional/local  level.  In addition, informed choices / aspirations of the candidates have been given primacy which aims to support the self-employment as well. This scheme also supports the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat by encouraging candidates to opt for local skills with local jobs.

Ministry  has  launched  Aatmanirbhar  Skilled  Employees  Employer  Mapping  (ASEEM) portal, which acts as a central directory of skilled workforce registered and certified under Skill India Portal (SIP), across all schemes at central and state level.
