## ANSWER

THE  MINISTER  OF  STATE  IN  THE  MINISTRY  OF  SKILL  DEVELOPMENT  AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP

(SHRI RAJEEV CHANDRASEKHAR)

- (a) & (b) Yes, Sir. Under Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), Skill training  is  imparted  through  Short  Term  Training  (STT)  and  Recognition  of  Prior Learning (RPL). Under PMKVY, placement opportunities have been provided to STT certified  candidates,  and  since RPL involves the  process of certification  of already existing  skills,  it  is  not  linked  with  placements.  Under  PMKVY,  as  on  30.06.2023, 28,133 candidates have been reported placed in the State of Chhattisgarh.
- (c) to (e) Under PMKVY, the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship with the support of National Skill Development Corporation, Sector Skill Councils and training providers, organizes Kaushal Mahotsavs (Rozgar Mela) across the country

to facilitate employment opportunities to the certified candidates in the private sector. Training  under  PMKVY  is  based  on  the  local  requirement  as  well  as  placement opportunities. To improve the employability of the candidates, modules on employability skills, soft skills, entrepreneurship and financial literacy are integrated with  the  core  training.  Rozgar  Mela  is  an  event  where  skilled  candidates  and employers  are  brought  to  a  common  platform  to  ensure  best  recruitment/selection choices for an employer and appropriate job opportunities for a skilled candidate. As on 30.06.2023, 53 Rozgar Melas have been organized in the State of Chhattisgarh and 17,039 candidates have been registered in these Rozgar Melas. Out of which, 6 Rozgar Melas have been organized in the Bilaspur Constituency of Chhattisgarh and 1900 candidates have been registered in these Melas.

(f) The  district  wise  number  of  candidates  reported  placed  in  the  State  of Chhattisgarh under the PMKVY as on 30.06.2023 is given at Annexure .
