Since  inception  of  PMKVY  i.e.  2015,  as  on  31.12.2021,  4.22  lakh candidates have been trained under Short Term Training (STT) and 7.17 lakh candidates have been oriented under Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) in the North Eastern States. The State-wise details are given at Table 1 of Annexure .
- (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  is  not  linked  with  placements  as  it recognizes the existing skills of candidate. In north Eastern State, under PMKVY-STT, as on  31.12.2021,  3.11  lakh  candidates  have  been  certified;  out  of  which,  1.32  lakh candidates  have  been  provided  with  the  placement.
