## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP

(SHRI JAYANT CHAUDHARY)

- (a) 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 skilling, 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, 95.61 lakh candidates have been enrolled in the last five years across the country. State-wise numbers of candidates who have been enrolled during the last five years under PMKVY are given at Annexure I .
- (c) Under  PMKVY  2.0  and  3.0,  there  were  two  components:  Centrally  Sponsored Centrally Managed  (CSCM)  component,  implemented  through  the  National  Skill Development  Corporation  (NSDC),  and Centrally  Sponsored  State  Managed  (CSSM) component,  implemented  through  the  States  Skill  Development  Missions  (SSDM)  of various states. PMKVY 4.0 is a Central Sector Scheme. There is no provision of Statewise funds allocation.

During  PMKVY  2.0  and  3.0,  ₹26.19  Crores  were  released  under  CSSM component to  Rajasthan.  All  the  funds  have  been  utilized  by  the  State.  District  wise details  of  funds  disbursed  by  NSDC  under  PMKVY in  Rajasthan, including Bharatpur district during the last five years (2019-20 to 2023-24) are at Annexure-II .

- (d) Yes, the MSDE has undertaken various awareness campaigns and promotional activities to inform citizens about the skilling, upskilling and reskilling courses available under  the  PMKVY  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.
