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

(SHRI JAYANT CHAUDHARY)

- (a) Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) is implementing its flagship  Scheme  Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY)  since  2015.  Under PMKVY, skill training is imparted through Short Term Training (STT) and Re-skilling and Up-skilling  through  Recognition  of  Prior  Learning  (RPL)  to  youth  across  the  country including Rajasthan.

State/UT-Wise  details  of  candidates  trained/  oriented  under  PMKVY  during  last  five financial years from FY 2020-2021 to FY 2024-25 is at Annexure-I.

- (b) Under the PMKVY scheme, placements were tracked in the Short-Term Training (STT) component in the first three  versions  of the  PMKVY  Scheme which  is PMKVY 1.0, PMKVY 2.0 and PMKVY 3.0 implemented from FY 2015-16 to FY 2021-22. Under PMKVY 4.0, the focus was to empower our trained candidates to choose their varied career path and they are suitably oriented for the same. Further, various IT tools like Skill India Digital Hub (SIDH) also gives this opportunity. During the first three versions of  PMKVY,    1,86,018  candidates  have  been  reported  placed  across  33  districts  of Rajasthan  including  Udaipur,  Dungarpur,  Pratapgarh  and  Banswara  districts.  No trainings were imparted in Salumbar District of Rajasthan under PMKVY.

Further  the  district-wise  details  of  candidates  reported  placed  across  33  districts  of Rajasthan during the first three versions of PMKVY is at Annexure-II.

(c) The  Ministry  has  taken  several  steps  to  ensure  the  successful  implementation and  promotion  of  PMKVY  4.0,  the  latest  version  of  the  scheme  implemented  since 2022, for the benefit of youth across the country, including Rajasthan. These efforts aim to  address  skill  gaps,  improve  employability,  and  support  economic  growth.  A  few  of them are as under:

- i. Focus on New Age Skills like Industry 4.0, Web 3.0, AR/VR, Climate Change, Circular Economy, Green Economy, and Energy Transition.
- ii. Emphasis  on  Re-skilling,  and  Up-skilling  under  Recognition  of  Prior  Learning (RPL) through innovations in assessment, better monitoring.
- iii. Greater  reliance  on  On-Job-Training  (OJT)  for  better  practical  exposure  to candidates.
- iv. Flexibility  in  course  curriculums  by  introducing  courses  in  partnership  with industry.
- v. Cross  utilisation  of  available  infrastructure  with  the  educational  institutions  viz. ITIs/Schools/Colleges/Universities/Central and State Government Institutions etc.
- vi. Launch of the Skill India Digital Hub (SIDH), a unified digital platform that offers access to skill development courses, employment opportunities, and entrepreneurial  support,  thereby  enhancing  accessibility  and  transparency  in skilling services.
