## ANSWER

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

(SHRI JAYANT CHAUDHARY)

(a)  and (b) The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) was set up in November 2014. Under the Government of India's Skill India Mission (SIM), the MSDE delivers skill, re-skill and up- skill training through an extensive network of skill  development  centres/colleges/  institutes  etc.  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.

NSDC implements various skilling schemes of MSDE and other Ministries/Departments,  such  as  PMKVY,  NAPS  and  PM  Vishawakarma  including market-led  fee-based  programmes  across  the  country.  The  State-wise  number  of persons trained under programmes implemented by NSDC till 30.06.2024, is given at Annexure .

(c)  and  (d) MSDE's  flagship  scheme  PMKVY  was  evaluated  by  NITI  Aayog  in October 2020 under jobs and skills sector. 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 un-certified peers.

A third-party impact evaluation of PMKVY was also conducted by the Indian Institute of Public Administration (IIPA). As per the evaluation, about 70.5% surveyed candidates received placement in their desired skill sector.

Also, a Tracer Study of ITI Graduates published in 2018 shows that 63.5% of total ITI pass-outs have got employment.

- (e) NSDC-I studies demand for Indian skilled workforce across various countries and skills required for the Indian workforce corresponding to the relevant international  market.  The  training  required  for  this  purpose  is  provided  through NSDC and its training partners.
- (f) Apart from implementing Government funded schemes, NSDC earns income from  various  sources  such  as  skill  advisory  services  and  management  fees  on implementation of private programs, including Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funded projects.
