(a) Sir, Deen Dayal Upadhyay-Grameen Kaushal Yojana (DDU-GKY) is an ongoing scheme being implemented in the country including the State of Maharashtra. The yojana is achieving its objective of making rural poor youth employable by imparting skill training and a good number of  the  youth  skilled  under  this  program  are  getting  employed  in  jobs  having  regular  monthly wages equal to or above the minimum wages notified by the concerned State. Rural Youth in the age group of 15-35 years are covered under this scheme.

DDU-GKY follows a  3-tier  implementation  architecture  for  implementation.  The  Ministry  of Rural  Development  is  responsible  for  policy,  funding  of  central  share  and  technical  support, while State Rural Livelihood Missions (SRLMs) / State Skills Missions (SSMs) are responsible for  funding  of  State  share,  implementation  and  monitoring  controls.  Project  Implementing Agencies  (PIAs),  which  are  mostly  private  training  partners,  are  responsible  for  mobilization, training  and  placements.  State-wise  details  of  the  achievement  including  that  of  Maharashtra under the yojana are given at Annexure-I.

(b) Under  this  scheme,  funds  are  released  by  Ministry  of  Rural  Development  to  the States/UTs on the basis of their approved action plan targets and the States/UTs release funds to  the  Project  Implementing  Agencies.  No district-wise fund  allocation or release is made by the Ministry under the said yojana. The details of the funds released to States/UTs under the scheme during each of the last three years and current year are given in Annexure-II.

(c) to (e) The DDU-GKY guidelines provide for minimum 70% placement out of trained rural poor youth at wages equal to or above the minimum wage. DDU-GKY is being implemented in 30 States / UTs of the country including State of Maharashtra.  As per the guidelines there is a reservation of 29% for SC and 21% ST candidates for training under the scheme. Parliamentary Constituency  wise  data  of  the  candidates  trained  under  the  scheme  is  not  maintained  by  the Ministry.  However,  State-wise  number  of  the  candidates  trained  and  placed  under  SC/ST category including the State of Maharashtra under DDU-GKY during the last three years and current year are given as Annexure-III & Annexure-IV.
