- (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 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), to all the sections of  the  society  including  women,  across  the  country  including    Uttar  Pradesh.  The SIM aims at enabling youth of India to get future ready and equipped with industry relevant skills.

District-wise  details  of  women  participation  under  the  schemes  of  MSDE  in the State of Uttar Pradesh is given at Annexure-I.

- (b) Details  of  skills  demand  among  women  including  rural  women  under  the Schemes of MSDE are given at Annexure-II.
- (c) To encourage participation of women in skill development programs, special provisions have been made for meeting expenditure on conveyance and boarding & lodging as well as enhanced post placement support. Further, PMKVY 4.0 prioritizes and provides special focus to projects that emphasize women  as primary beneficiaries.  Training  programs  in  sectors  like  Electronics,  Retail,  Healthcare, Beauty  &  Wellness,  Handicrafts  and  Apparel  are  structured  to  attract  higher participation  from  women.  Skill  Hubs  and  Special  Projects  actively  encourage women's enrollment. Projects are designed to align with local skill demands, creating opportunities  for  rural  women  to  participate  and  benefit  from  skill  development schemes. This inclusive approach ensures significant representation and benefit for women  in  skill  training  programs  across  the  country  as  well  as  in  Uttar  Pradesh. Under  JSS  Scheme,  the  focus  is  being  given  to  women  and  other  vulnerable sections. Women constitute more than 80% of beneficiaries under JSS.

Also, there are 19 National Skill Training Institutes (NSTI) and more than 300 ITIs exclusively for women. Government of India approved 30% reservation of seats for  women  candidates  in  all  ITIs  (Govt.  &  Private)  in  all  courses  and  these  seats could be filled based on the general reservation policy of each respective State/UTs.
