- (a) Under Skill India Mission, the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship(MSDE) delivers short term skills through various programmes to all the sections of the society across the country including women as mentioned below:

Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY): It is the flagship Scheme of MSDE with an objective to impart short duration skill development training and certification to youth and to make them employable for better livelihood across the country. In order to increase the participation  of  women,  conveyance  cost  and  boarding  &  lodging  facilities  are  being provided to them.

Jan Shikshan Sansthan (JSS) : Under JSS scheme of MSDE skill training is imparted skills to  non-literate,  neo-literates,  and  persons  with  rudimentary  level  of  education  upto  8 th standard and school dropouts upto 12 th standard in the age group of 15-45 years in rural and urban areas. Under the scheme, focus is being given to women and other vulnerable sections.

- (b) Number of women trained in Madhya Pradesh under PMKVY and JSS during last four years i.e. from2018-19to2021-22 is asunder:

|   S. No. | Name of The Scheme   | 2018-19   | 2019-20   | 2020-21   | 2021-22   |
|----------|----------------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
|        1 | PMKVY                | 66,125    | 94,648    | 36,199    | 23,760    |
|        2 | JSS                  | 18,813    | 43,983    | 38,079    | 44,831    |

Amongst  the  schemes  of  the  MSDE,  placements  are  specifically  tracked  under  PMKVY. Number of women placed in Madhya Pradesh under PMKVY during last four years i.e. from 2018-19 to 2021-22 is as under:

| Name of The Scheme   | 2018-19   | 2019-20   | 2020-21   | 2021-22   |

As far as employment of the JSS scheme beneficiaries is concerned, third party evaluation report of the scheme has observed that as an impact of the training programme conducted at JSSs, the self and wage employment and private job have become evident. The usefulness of the scheme is further evident from the fact that same report has mentioned that 77.05% of the beneficiary trainees have undergone occupational shifts.
