- (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 Bihar. Under PMKVY, in the last three years (i.e. 2018-21), 3,90,246  candidates  have  been  enrolled  for  training/orientation  in  the  State  of  Bihar,  of which 2,51,696 are male and 1,38,543 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),  81,285  candidates  (Male:  50,659;  Female:  30,626)  have  been  placed  in  the State of Bihar.
- (c)         Under Central component of PMKVY, there is no State-wise allocation; however, Rs. 226.83 crore was disbursed to training centres in the State of Bihar 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 Bihar, Rs. 128.65 crore was allocated under PMKVY. Out of which,  Rs. 36.82  crore  is  released  till  now.   As  per  data  received  from State  of  Bihar,  out  of  total  released  funds  (Rs.  36.82  crore),  Rs.  2.38  crore  have  been spent till date.

- (d)        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, including districts of State of Bihar. As on 21.11.2021, 48 PMKKs have been established in 38 districts of State of Bihar, including West Champaran district. PMKK in the West Champaran district of Bihar has been already established by ADS Skill Private Limited.
