'Udaan' was a Special Industry Initiative by Ministry of Home Affairs for the Youth of Jammu  &  Kashmir.  Also,  National  Skill  Certification  and  Monetary  Reward  Scheme  (also known  as  STAR  Scheme)  was  implemented  by  Ministry  of  Finance  and  around  14  lakh candidates were trained across the country including State of Andhra Pradesh.

Further,  there  are  no  provisions  of  setting  up  of  skill  development  training  centres under SANKALP. Under SANKALP, Ministry has launched Adarsh Gram Skill Camp for RPL certification.  Under  this,  116  candidates  have  been  oriented  in  Chitoor  district  of  State  of Andhra Pradesh.

- (c)        Under  placement-linked  component  of  PMKVY,  2.95  lakh  candidates  were  selfemployed in various sectors across the country including 10,415 candidates from State of Andhra Pradesh.
- (d)       Ministry  of  Skill  Development  and  Entrepreneurship  (MSDE)  has  launched  the demand-driven Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana 3.0 (PMKVY 3.0) on 15.01.2021. The objectives of the scheme are to:

(No. in lakh)

| Phase                        |   Target |   Candidates Trained / Oriented |
|------------------------------|----------|---------------------------------|
| PMKVY 1.0 (Phase I) 2015-16  |       24 |                           19.86 |
| PMKVY 2.0 (Phase II) 2016-20 |      100 |                          109.98 |
