## ANSWER

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

(SHRI JAYANT CHAUDHARY)

- (a) The Directorate General of Training (DGT) under the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship  (MSDE)  is  responsible  for  running  the  Craftsman  Training  Scheme (CTS) run mainly implemented through the Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs). The ITIs are under the administrative and financial control of the State  Government. However, the broad framework for providing CTS training, including affiliation of ITIs, designing of courses, conducting exams, and certifying the trainees, is done by the DGT.

The  DGT  also  runs  schemes,  from  time  to  time  to  provide  support  to  the  State Governments for the upgradation of ITIs. Till recently, the DGT was implementing three schemes,  namely  "Skills  Strengthening  for  Industrial  Value  Enhancement  (STRIVE)," "Upgradation of Existing Government ITIs into Model ITIs (Model ITI)," and "Enhancing Skill Development Infrastructure in NE States (ESDI)," to provide financial assistance to State  Governments  for  the  upgradation  of  existing  Government  Industrial  Training Institutes (ITIs) in the country.

Under the STRIVE scheme, 500 ITIs (which include 467 Government and 33 Private ITIs)  were  selected  and  financial  assistance  of  an  average  Rs.1.7  crore  per  ITI  was provided  for  upgradation  of  the  ITI  and  for  enhancing  the  industry  relevance  of  the training by upgrading labs, equipment, and tools etc. Model ITI scheme envisaged the upgradation of 35 selected government ITIs into Model ITIs with financial assistance of up to Rs. 10 crore per ITI for equipment upgradation and civil works. The ESDI scheme offered support to ITIs in the North Eastern states. It envisgaed the upgradation  of 22 existing  ITIs  (@  Rs.  2  crore  per  ITI)  by  establishing  3  new  trades  in  each  ITI; supplementing deficient infrastructure in 28 ITIs (@ Rs. 2 crore per ITI) by constructing new  boundary  walls,  new  hostels,  and  supplementing  old  and  obsolete  tools  and equipment for 3 existing trades in  each ITI; and  establishing 34  new ITIs (@  Rs.  9.5 crore per ITI).

(b)  &  (c)  The  implementation  of  the  mentioned  schemes  under  (a)  is  done  by  the respective  state  governments,  and  no  timelines  have  been  defined  by  the  central government.  However,  the  states  are  constantly  encouraged  to  submit  the  Utilisation Certificate (UCs) and complete the milestone at the earliest before the release of next tranche of funds. The funds are released by the Central government in tranches and the subsequent tranche is released only after submitting of UCs and progress report by the state  government,  for  the  fund  provided  in  previous  tranche.  The  sunset  date  for  ITI upgradation  under  STRIVE  was  30  May  2024,  and  for  'Upgradation  of  existing Government ITIs  into  Model  ITIs'  and  'Enhancing  Skill  Development  Infrastructure  in NE States' was 30 March 2024, beyond which no financial assistance is being provided.

(d) The training of instructors is the administrative responsibility of the respective state governments. However, the Directorate General of Training (DGT) under the Ministry of Skill  Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE) is running the Craft Instructor Training Scheme (CITS) through a network of 33 National Skill Training Institutes (NSTIs) and 121  Institutes  for  Training of Trainers  (IToTs)  to  train  instructor trainees  in  the techniques of transferring hands-on skills and training methodology to the instructors of ITIs  .  Under  the  STRIVE  scheme,  multiple  capacity-building  initiatives  were  also undertaken  to  improve  the  quality  of  instructors.  A  total  of  27,500  instructors  were trained  under  the  program,  which  included  training  in  drone  technology,  training  of trainers in employability skills, and training towards the adoption of NSQF alignment.

(e) The list of NSTIs and IToTs is attached at Annexure-I
