- (a) Yes,  Sir.  A  robust  stakeholder  consultation  and  regulatory  framework  has  been established  for  conducting  necessary  research/study/survey  to  provide  training  courses under  Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojna  (PMKVY)  to  youth  for  purposes  of  upskilling and/or reskilling.

Sector Skill Councils (SSCs), mandated under the National Policy on Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (2015), actively engage  with industries to identify  skill gaps through regular consultations and studies. The National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) commissions studies focusing on both Indian and global labour markets to ensure comprehensive skill assessments.

Based on these consultations and studies, competency standards and qualifications are  developed  for  high-demand  job  roles.  These  qualifications  undergo  validation  through consultations with industries accredited by the National Council for Vocational Education and Training  (NCVET).  Validated  qualifications  are  then  added  to  the  National  Qualification Register (NQR) and aligned to the National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF).

All training courses offered under PMKVY are drawn from this National Qualification Register (NQR) and are developed based on industry consultation and skill gap surveys as detailed above.

In  addition  to  the  above,  District  Skill  Development  Plans  (DSDPs)  have  been developed  by  District  Skill  Committees  (DSCs)  to  assess  skill  gaps,  mapping  of  industry demand, etc. at district level to ensure alignment of PMKVY courses with local needs.

Further, an Impact Evaluation of the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana was also conducted in the year 2019 to evaluate the impact of the scheme.

- (b) Under PMKVY, as on 31.03.2024, a total of 1,13,884 candidates have been enrolled in the last five years for upskilling and/or reskilling in Andhra Pradesh.

State-wise numbers of candidates who have been enrolled during the last five years for  upskilling  and/or  reskilling  under  the  Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY) Scheme are given at Annexure I.

- (c) Under PMKVY, there is no provision  to allocate fund  directly  to Districts.  Details  of district-wise utilization of funds for carrying out upskilling and/or reskilling training during the last five years in Andhra Pradesh, are given at Annexure II.
- (d) Yes,  the  MSDE  has  undertaken  various  awareness  campaigns  and  promotional activities  to  inform  citizens  about  the  upskilling  and  reskilling  courses  available  under  the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) scheme through comprehensive multimedia campaigns across television, radio, print, and digital platforms; periodic media briefings with vernacular, regional and national media; active engagement on social media platforms; and community  engagement  initiative.  Regular  Press  releases  have  also  been  issued  through Press  Information  Bureau  (PIB),  Doordarshan,  MyGov  and  other  government  and  private news  agencies.Awareness  has  also  been  created  through  our  wide  network  of  training institutes to disseminate information and encourage participation in the scheme.Utilizing the MSDE's  digital  initiative  -  'Skill  India  Digital  Hub'  (SIDH),  citizens  can  access  detailed information  about  PMKVY  courses,  enroll  in  training  programs,  and  locate  the  nearest centers where the scheme is running.
