## ANSWER

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

(SHRI JAYANT CHAUDHARY)

(a) A robust stakeholder consultation and regulatory framework has been established for conducting  necessary  research/study/survey  to  provide  training  courses  under  Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojna (PMKVY) to youth for purposes of up-skilling and/or re-skilling.

Sector Skill Councils (SSCs), mandated under the National Policy on Skill Development  and  Entrepreneurship  (2015),  actively  engage  with  industries  to  identify  skill gaps through regular consultations and studies. The National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) commissions studies focusing on both Indian and global labour markets to ensure comprehensive skill assessments.

Based on these consultations and studies, competency standards and qualifications are  developed  for  high-demand  job  roles.  These  qualifications  undergo  validation  through consultations with industries accredited by the National Council for Vocational Education and Training  (NCVET).  Validated  qualifications  are  then  added  to  the  National  Qualification Register (NQR) and aligned to the National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF).

All training courses offered  under PMKVY are drawn from this National Qualification Register (NQR) and are developed based on industry consultation.

In  addition  to  the  above,  District  Skill  Development  Plans  (DSDPs)  have  been developed  by  District  Skill  Committees  (DSCs)  to  assess  skill  gaps,  mapping  of  industry demand, etc. at district level to ensure alignment of PMKVY courses with local needs.

(b)      The State-wise number of candidates trained under PMKVY during last three financial years,  as  on  31.10.2024,  is  given  at Annexure  I .  The  district-wise  number  of  candidates trained in State of Haryana under PMKVY during last three financial years, as on 31.10.2024, is given at Annexure II .

(c)     Details of utilization of funds for carrying out upskilling and/or reskilling training under PMKVY in Sonipat Constituency (Sonipat and Jind districts) of Haryana, during the last three financial years, as on 31.10.2024, is given below:

|   S. No. | FY      |   Amount (in crore) |
|----------|---------|---------------------|
|        1 | 2021-22 |                0.81 |
|        2 | 2022-23 |                0.47 |
|        3 | 2023-24 |                2.3  |

(d)         MSDE  has  undertaken  various  awareness  campaigns  and  promotional  activities  to inform citizens of India covering all the States about the courses available under the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) scheme through comprehensive multimedia campaigns across television, radio, print, and digital platforms; periodic media briefings with vernacular, regional and national media; active engagement on social media platforms; and community  engagement  initiative.  Regular  Press  releases  have  also  been  issued  through Press Information Bureau (PIB), Doordarshan, MyGov and other agencies.

Awareness has also been created through  our wide  network of training institutes  to disseminate  information  and  encourage  participation  in  the  scheme.  Utilizing  the  MSDE's digital  initiative  -  'Skill  India  Digital  Hub'  (SIDH),  citizens  can  access  detailed  information about PMKVY courses, enroll in training programs, and locate the nearest centers where the scheme is running.
