- (a) Under the Govt of India's Skill India Mission (SIM), the Ministry of Skill Development and  Entrepreneurship  (MSDE)  delivers  skill,  re-skill  and  up-skill  training  through  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  is  aimed  at  enabling  youth  of  India  to  get  future  ready  &  industry  ready skills.

Skills  Strengthening  for  Industrial  Value  Enhancement  (STRIVE)  is  a World  Bank  assisted project  which  aims  to  upgrade  and  enhance  the  learning  infrastructure  in  the  Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs).

Under STRIVE project, a total of 500 ITIs (which include 467 Government ITIs and 33 Private ITIs) have been selected for upgradation of quality and for enhancing the industry relevance of  the  training  by  upgradation  of  Lab,  equipment  and  tools.  Similarly,  90  Industry  Clusters have  also  been  selected  to engage  in  Apprenticeship  Training  through  the Industry Apprenticeship initiative (IAI).

The state wise number of ITIs selected under STRIVE is given at Annexure I.

- (b) The state wise number of Industry Clusters (ICs) under STRIVE is given at Annexure II.
- (c) Under  the  Parliamentary  Constituency  of  Balasore  01  ITI  has  been  selected  under STRIVE. The details are as follows;

|   S No. | ITI Name                                      | ITI Type   | District   |   Funds Allocated (in Rs. Lakh) |
|---------|-----------------------------------------------|------------|------------|---------------------------------|

(d) & (e) The mandate of the STRIVE programme was to select and upgrade 500 ITIs, which has now been achieved. Similarly, 90 Industry Clusters have been selected out of the target of 100 Industry clusters. At present, 03 ICs have already been selected from the state of Odisha (including one from Balasore) and there is no additional proposal from the state of Odisha and Balasore Parliamentary Constituency for selection of any new IC.
