- (a)  Under  the  Government of India's Skill  India  Mission  (SIM),  the  Ministry  of  Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) delivers skill, re-skill and up-skill training to youth through an extensive network of skill development centres/institutes under various schemes viz. Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), Jan Sikhshan Sansthan (JSS), National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS) and Craftsman Training Scheme (CTS) through Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) across the country including  Jharkhand.  The  number  of  candidates  trained  in  the  State  of  Jharkhand during last three years (2021-22 to 2023-24) under the above schemes are as under:
- (b)  To  synergize  initiatives  of  skill  development  in  the  country  and  overcome  the regional  imbalance,  the  schemes  of  MSDE  focus  on  implementation  of  training interventions with participation of States and Districts through State Skill Development Mission  (SSDMs) and District  Skill  Committees  (DSCs).  DSCs  are  mandated  with formulating  District  Skill  Development  Plans  (DSDPs)  to  promote  decentralized planning and implementation at the grassroots.
