## ANSWER

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

(SHRI JAYANT CHAUDHARY)

(a) & (b): 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  under  various schemes, viz. Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), Jan Shikshan Sansthan (JSS),  National  Apprenticeship  Promotion  Scheme  (NAPS)  and  Craftsman  Training Scheme (CTS) through Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs), to all the sections of the society across the country.  The  SIM  aims  at  enabling  youth  of  India  to  get  future  ready  and equipped with industry relevant skills. The details of district-wise candidates trained under various schemes of MSDE in Uttar Pradesh is given at Annexure-I .  Details of Sectors/job roles  for  vocational  and  skill  development  training  being  implemented  under  various schemes of MSDE in Etawah, Kasganj, Etah, Bareily (in respect of Aonla), Mainpuri and Kannauj Districts is given at Annexure-II .

- (c):           Under  the  Skill  India  Mission,  the  Government  actively  promotes  training  in industry  aligned  courses  for  improving  employability.  Employers  are  engaged  during curriculum  design  and  mobilization  and  are  invited  to  participate  in  job  melas  and placement drives. Notably, training centres establish local partnerships to ensure on-thejob training (OJT), and placement support.

Under PMKVY 4.0, the latest version of the scheme under implementation since FY 202223, skilling is being imparted in National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF) aligned job  roles  developed  by  industry  led  Awarding  Bodies.  Training  is  also  conducted  in industry premises and trainers are on-boarded from industries as well. On-Job-Training (OJT) has been made an inherent component of the PMKVY 4.0. Focus is to empower the trained candidates to choose their varied career path and they are suitably oriented for the same. However, to enable the opportunities for employments, Skill India Digital Hub (SIDH) platform has been launched to integrate skilling, education, employment, and entrepreneurship ecosystems. To ensure active interaction between establishments/employers and candidates, Rozgar Melas and Pradhan Mantri National Apprenticeship Melas (PMNAM) are organised across the country.

(d) and (e):      The challenges faced include mobilization of candidates for enrollment, especially women in remote areas, mismatch between demand and supply of courses, finding  qualified  trainers  etc.  These  issues  are  addressed  through  local  mobilization efforts,  demand-based  training,  better  infrastructure,  and  use  of  digital  tools  for monitoring.

Third party evaluation of schemes of MSDE have acknowledged their positive outcome and mentioned about their success in terms of placement or livelihood improvement of candidates trained, as indicated below:

PMKVY :  MSDE's flagship scheme PMKVY was evaluated by NITI Aayog in October 2020. As per the study, about 94 percent of the employers surveyed reported they would hire more candidates trained under PMKVY. Further, 52 percent of the candidates who were placed in full time/part time employment and oriented under the RPL component received  higher  salary  or  felt  that  they  will  get  higher  salary  compared  to  their  uncertified peers.

JSS : Evaluation study of JSS scheme conducted in 2020 has found that the scheme has helped in almost doubling the household income for those beneficiaries who have got employment or are self-employed after the JSS training. Considering 79% women representation,  50.5%  of  the  rural  share,  73.4%  change  in  the  employment  for enhanced livelihood, 89.1% change in the average income of each beneficiary, 85.7% mobilization of beneficiaries by JSS, the report has further observed that usefulness of the  scheme  would  be  further  evident  from  the  fact  that  77.05%  of  the  beneficiary trainees have undergone occupational shifts. The study also affirmed that the focus of the skilling in the scheme favours self-employment which is in tune with Aatmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan.

ITIs :  The  final  report  of  Tracer  Study  of  ITI  Graduates  published  in  2018  by  MSDE mentions that 63.5% of total ITI pass-outs got employed (wage+self, out of which 6.7% are self-employed).

NAPS :  Third-party  evaluation  study  of  NAPS  conducted  in  2021  has  observed  that the scheme  has  successfully  enhanced  the  employability  of  youth  by  providing structured on-the-job training, with a notable increase in the engagement of apprentices across various industries. In the new version of the scheme, DBT method has been adopted  to  transfer  government's  share  directly  to  apprentices'  bank  accounts,  as streamlined reimbursement process was recommended in the report.
